trabeculectomy
I had this procedure done 5 days ago. Although my eye feels fine ( a bit blurred) I would like to know if others feel that it’s been worth it. I am 72 and already had lost some vision in that eye. Fortunately my other eye is still good.

post trabeculectomy
I had a
trabeculectomy
in my left eye on 16th September. For the first week my eye was sore and uncomfortable, which I am sure is normal. At my 2nd follow up appointment my surgeon put in a bandaged contact lens due to a small leak from one of the sutures.

Trabeculotomy
I am finding it difficult to find any info of how to take care of myself ie washing hair, bending etc. there is plenty of info on aftercare after a
Trabeculectomy
not so on a Trabeculotomy.

Trabeculectomy advice please
I was diagnosed with advanced glaucoma in June 2024 and told I need to have a
trabeculectomy
in both eyes. I was completely devastated, especially as 6 months ago I had open heart surgery to have an aortic valve replacement.

Cataract surgery post Trabeculectomy
Has anybody had an experience with the blurry eye after surgery or pls share your experience with cataract surgery as it reflects on the
trabeculectomy
surgery? I would love to know if it was successful and the blurry vision disappeared. Thx

Trabeculectomy tips?
I am having a
trabeculectomy
in my left eye in a couple of weeks. I know surgery is experienced differently for everyone but wondered if anyone had any tips? Thanks.

Lowering eye pressure
Pre
trabeculectomy
I was on lantoprost for 3 months and it didn’t really lower my eye pressure and for the other eye I was on it for 6 months pre surgery. Tried fixapost and Timolol briefly before surgery and i don’t think it worked.

How long to wait for trabeculectomy?
I'm wondering how long people have waited for a
trabeculectomy
operation, once they have been told they need one, either through NHS or going private?

Itchy eye 3 months post Trabeculectomy
Hello, I’m in my 12th week post op, everything went well, my eye is healed with stable pressure of 8. Last week I has a loose stitch removed after they put me back on steroids for 3 days. Even before that I started to experience sudden very itchy eye just around spot where the bleb is, also on the skin

Dry eye following Trabeculectomy
Hello I had a right
trabeculectomy
nearly 4 months ago & all was well until about a week ago. I have used regular lubricating drops as I have had the same surgery in my left eye that was complicated by uveitis.

Side Effects
Hi, I am looking for some help as hubby and I are struggling after his
Trabeculectomy
in March was described by his surgeon as a ‘spectacular failure’ ( his body healed the bleb and pressure went up to 60) . He’s now on Dexamethasone 4 times a day.

Worried- pressure at 5 at trabeculectomy follow up today
I had the fourth of my weekly post-
trabeculectomy
follow ups today. The pressure was 5. Before the operation the pressure was consistently around 15. Week one after surgery it was 15, week two, 17 ( then stitch removed) Week 3 was 20. Stitch was adjusted and 11 at end of appointment.

Appointment Update
Following my recent post about my dry eyes, I had my follow-up appointment on Monday nearly 4 months post right
trabeculectomy
& it did not go well. Had a visual field test and eye scan. No change to my right eye but my left eye continues to lose peripheral vision.

Glaucoma and pregnancy
The doctors have suggested I have
trabeculectomy
surgery before I get pregnant, which I am considering, but I'm scared about the surgery going wrong or having side effects. I guess my questions are: 1. What drops are safe to be on whilst pregnant?

Failed Trabeculectomy
I have a failed
trabeculectomy
. 😢 Operated June 2022 with pressure of 16. Too high so 2 stitches were taken out and then pressure dropped to 2 and wouldn't come up so had to add a stitch to the bleb going through the conjunctiva.
