Malignant Glaucoma

My official diagnosis is "Malignant glaucoma following macular hole surgery". After two laser treatments I had cataract surgery. The following day my pressure in the right eye went to 60. Later that day I lost the sight in my right eye. The macular hole surgery took place on 6th February. The second operation took place on 21st March. Does anyone else have this type of glaucoma?

I’m afraid I don’t and I’m sorry to hear about your experience with glaucoma, it sounds very aggressive. Hopefully someone from the team can shed more light on your particular condition. My best wishes to you.

Sorry to hear this has happened to you. I do not have that diagnosis but my “normal pressure glaucoma” developed at the same time as a macular hole. (My macular hole caused by an epiretinal membrane of unknown cause tugging on the retina.) They say unconnected but both were apparentky odd with no known causes silo i wonder but it sounds like you had zero optic nerve ir rnfl abnormalities connectee to macula hole itself, only after the surgeries

I will be following your story and really really wishing you well.
