Expert Glaucoma Surgery

When it comes to treating glaucoma, having access to expert care is essential for preserving your vision. At Wyoming Center For Sight in Casper, our team of experienced ophthalmologists specializes in providing advanced glaucoma surgery to help patients manage this sight-threatening condition. Let's explore what glaucoma surgery entails and how our practice can help you maintain optimal eye health.

Understanding Glaucoma

Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, often due to increased pressure within the eye. Without proper treatment, glaucoma can lead to irreversible vision loss and blindness. While medications and lifestyle changes can help manage glaucoma in its early stages, some patients may require surgery to lower intraocular pressure and prevent further damage to the optic nerve.

Advanced Glaucoma Surgery Options

At Wyoming Center For Sight, our ophthalmologists offer several advanced surgical techniques to effectively treat glaucoma and preserve vision. These options may include:

•             Trabeculectomy: During this procedure, a small drainage hole is created in the eye to allow excess fluid to drain, reducing intraocular pressure.

•             Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS): MIGS procedures are designed to safely and effectively lower intraocular pressure with minimal trauma to the eye. These micro-incisional surgeries offer faster recovery times and fewer complications compared to traditional glaucoma surgeries.

•             Glaucoma Drainage Devices: For patients with advanced or refractory glaucoma, implanting a drainage device can help regulate intraocular pressure by redirecting excess fluid from the eye to a reservoir or drainage tube.

•             Laser Surgery: Laser procedures such as selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) or laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) can be used to improve drainage and lower intraocular pressure in certain types of glaucoma.
