I’ve been suffering from secondary glaucoma for many years in my left eye. About 5 years ago I had a course of laser surgery to reduce the pressure. It’s all been good since a month ago when the pressure went up to 22. I’ve been told by my consultant that I now need Baeveldt tube inserted into my eye in order to save my sight. As anyone had this type of surgery, how successful it’s been, and the after care treatment. I am 75 years old. Any advice or help in this would be really appreciated. Thank you
