Surgeries and Procedures we perform under this category
🔹 Surgical Treatments for Glaucoma
- Trabeculectomy (with or without Mitomycin C) under Local Anaesthesia
Trabeculectomy is a gold-standard procedure that creates a new drainage pathway for eye fluid, reducing intraocular pressure (IOP).
- Mitomycin C is often used to prevent scarring and enhance long-term success.
- Safe and effective under local anesthesia.
- Trabeculectomy with MMC and Ologen Implantation under Local Anaesthesia
In this technique, an Ologen collagen implant is placed to guide healthy healing, reduce fibrosis, and improve bleb function.
- Minimizes the need for post-op interventions.
- Ideal for patients at high risk of scarring.
- Trab with Trab under Monitored Anaesthesia Care (MAC)
This dual-trab technique is used for complex or high-risk cases. MAC ensures the patient’s comfort while closely monitoring vital signs, making it safer and more controlled. - AADI Implantation (Aurolab Aqueous Drainage Implant)
An effective, low-cost valve-free drainage device designed for patients with severe or refractory glaucoma.
- Provides long-term IOP control
- Especially beneficial in pediatric or neovascular glaucoma cases
- AGV Implantation (Ahmed Glaucoma Valve)
The Ahmed valve offers immediate pressure control using a unidirectional valve.
- Suitable for difficult cases, including failed trabeculectomies
- Reduces risk of hypotony (very low pressure)
- Non-Penetrating Glaucoma Surgery (NPGS)
A safer alternative to traditional filtering surgery, NPGS reduces IOP without fully penetrating the eye.
- Lower risk of complications
- Quicker recovery with stable outcomes
🔹 Laser Procedures for Glaucoma
- Diode Laser Cyclophotocoagulation (DLCP)
This laser treatment is used in advanced or uncontrolled glaucoma by targeting the ciliary body to reduce aqueous fluid production.
- Minimally invasive
- Performed in difficult, end-stage, or painful glaucoma
- Nd:YAG Peripheral Iridotomy
A preventive laser treatment for angle-closure glaucoma. A small hole is created in the iris to restore fluid flow between the front and back of the eye.
- Quick outpatient procedure
- Highly effective and safe
- Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT)
SLT gently enhances fluid drainage through the eye’s natural drainage system.
- No damage to surrounding tissue
- Often used as a first-line or repeatable therapy in open-angle glaucoma
