I have pseudoexfoliation and glaucoma and as far as I understand that makes it very difficult to

Operate. I’m on Monopost and Carbomer eyegel, but the pressure is still 20. What shall I do? I see

Double and black rings from time to time. Anybody else with pseudoexfoliation?

Hello. It is still possible to operate on people with pseudoexfoliation and won't rule out your eye specialist considering this, if they feel it is the right treatment for you. They may suggest adding a different eye drop or laser treatment, if they feel your eye pressure at 20 needs to be lowered.

You would need to ask your eye specialist about the double vision and black rings that you see from time to time, to see if they can explain it to you.

Hello,

I also have psuedoexfoliation. Last year I had a successful trabeculoctemy. No difficulties were suggested. I hope that this reassures you.
