I’m having a microstent in 3 weeks time, what was the recovery time? I also have dry eyes and constantly put on Systane, does the dry eyes still continue after the microstent?

If you suffer from dry eye, this will continue after the presaflo surgery. Recover is 1-2 weeks.

You will find a range of experiences with preserflo microshunt if you look through the various posts on this forum. I had one inserted in December and normality has returned except for still being weaned off steroids. See healthunlocked.com/glaucoma... for my experience.
