preserflo rear eye pain

Hi Guys

underwent right eye preserflo yesterday. I am getting a random pain at the bottom rear of my eye. No idea why as I believed the stunt went into the upper eye ball. Has anyone else experienced this after this surgery? Sleeping for the first night was uncomfortable when on my back and the side of the operation but was a little better on my right.

I am seeing my consultant later today and will raise these items with him, but having gone through knee surgery before, forums always helped identify the right questions, with people that have been through it.

Thanks

Most of the discomfort I had post-preseflo ops were where the stent was inserted, from the cuts and stitches. This eased quickly over a few days. I very occasionally though had a sharp stabbing pain which felt to be inside the eye, maybe once or twice a week, but this too faded away with time. I imagine the injections around the eye to immobilise it must cause some collateral damage which may be what you are feeling?

Just got thinking. I had presorfo surgery 10 weeks ago. My pressure has just stabilized at 10 this past two weeks but have had a headache at side of eye for several days now. Hope it goes away soon. My pressure after surgery was 5 and just stopped atropine drops two weeks ago.
