Valve Implantation for Glaucoma Treatment

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The glaucoma valve acts as an alternative pathway for the ophthalmic fluid to exit from the inside of the eye to the outside of the eye.

It is used in advanced cases of glaucoma or after the failure of traditional surgeries to reduce high intraocular pressure, or in some special cases such as: unresponsive pediatric glaucoma, glaucoma after corneal transplantation, or glaucoma associated with the formation of foreign blood vessels inside the eye.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

[/vc_column_text][tm-heading h2=”Glaucoma Valve Surgery:”]The operation is performed under local anesthesia by installing the main part of the valve on the wall of the eye and then inserting the valve tube into the anterior cabinet of the eye.
