I have Glaucoma (open angle) in my left eye and have had Preserflo microshunt surgery

after 2 years my pressure has gone up to 25 and I am told I may need a revision my question

is as I am back on Latanoprost is it possible to lower pressure with drops and avoid further

surgery has anyone avoided having to have a revision. I am due to be seen again next month

when they will see if being back on drops has lowered the pressure

Hi

Hopefully the Latanoprost will have helped.

I had a different kind of shunt inserted but still needed drops before my pressures remained stable. I actually have to use two different ones - Monopost and Cosopt.

Good luck - let us know.
