my last stitch was taken out 3 days ago. I still have a blob on my eye where the fluid is not draining away. Is there anything I can do to assist this process as I think it’s just a case of time. My surgeon is not concerned about it.

the bleb is always there. I had my op two years ago. Try not to touch it or rub it, keep the eyes moist with some dry eye drops I use Hydrosan, hospital gave on prescription. It does feel funny but you get used to it. Don’t forget that the op is to relieve and control pressure not to affect the overall vision. Have they mentioned a cataract at all?
