What are the surgical methods of glaucoma?
① Laser iridectomy can be selected in the early stage of glaucoma, and the drainage channel of aqueous humor can be established to prevent glaucoma. ② After the onset of glaucoma, if the drugs can't be controlled, then surgery should be considered. In the state of high intraocular pressure, emergency anterior chamber puncture can be used to reduce intraocular pressure, and then the next treatment can be carried out according to the type of glaucoma. ③ Trabeculectomy: If the angle of the chamber is closed, the aqueous humor adheres and the drainage is not smooth, filtering surgery is needed, including trabeculectomy, glaucoma valve implantation and glaucoma nail implantation. The effect is obvious, but it is easy to cause scar formation and operation failure. The younger the patient is, the more serious the situation is. ④ For some patients with absolute glaucoma, vision is no longer the goal of treatment. At this time, the patient will be in a state of eye pain and no vision, and destructive surgery, such as ciliary body photocoagulation and ciliary body cryosurgery, can be used. ⑤ Other special neovascular glaucoma, such as glaucoma caused by diabetic retinopathy or fundus angiopathy, can be treated with anti-neovascular drugs first, and then according to the etiology, but it is also difficult to cure, so attention should be paid to prevention.
