How long can trabeculectomy last

summary

I am short-sighted, and the degree is very deep. Now I can see things very indistinctly, so I had glaucoma trabeculectomy a month ago. But after the operation, it seems that my eyes are very uncomfortable, and I feel congested. I'm afraid that it's caused by the operation. Now let's learn how long the trabeculectomy can last.

How long can trabeculectomy last

First: eyes can not be cleaned, at least two weeks to avoid shampoo bath. About a week after the operation, learning massage under the guidance of doctors can ensure the long-term effect of the operation. Regular follow-up should be carried out after operation. If there are tears, redness, eye pain and headache, follow-up should be carried out in time.

Second: early after glaucoma surgery, first of all, we should pay attention to avoid strenuous activities, because it will affect the healing of the wound, so as to avoid coughing, sneezing, rubbing eyes, defecating and so on. Secondly, use your eyes less, avoid sending text messages, watching TV and reading books. Talk less and visit less.

Third: the recovery of visual acuity after trabeculectomy depends on the severity of glaucoma. The most important thing is that after trabeculectomy, the eyeball should be massaged intermittently for life, so that the filtering bleb is unobstructed, which will not lead to high intraocular pressure and further damage the visual field and vision.

matters needing attention

Due to the improvement of surgical techniques and the application of antimetabolic drugs, the intraocular pressure level after trabeculectomy can be similar to that after full-thickness scleral filtration, so now trabeculectomy can be applied to almost all glaucoma patients who need to undergo extraocular filtration.
