Understanding your treatment
What is glaucoma?
Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, often in association with raised pressure inside the eye.
The damage can progress without noticeable early symptoms. Treatment aims to lower eye pressure and slow further sight loss through prescribed drops, laser treatment or surgery, depending on the glaucoma type and severity.
Sudden severe eye pain, a red eye, blurred vision, halos, headache or nausea can be an emergency. Seek urgent medical care rather than waiting for a routine appointment.
How pressure is controlled
Your specialist may recommend eye drops, laser treatment or surgery according to your target pressure and clinical findings.
Who needs monitoring
People with glaucoma, raised eye pressure, suspicious optic nerve findings or relevant risk factors may need regular review.
A coordinated path to treatment
Your glaucoma care journey.
Every stage is guided by specialist assessment, clear information and coordinated follow-up—so you know what comes next.
Specialist consultation
Discuss your vision, symptoms, family history, current medicines and previous eye findings with an ophthalmology specialist.
Diagnostic investigations
Eye-pressure measurement, optic nerve imaging, visual-field testing and drainage-angle assessment help confirm the diagnosis.
Personalised treatment plan
Your specialist explains your target pressure and whether drops, laser, iridectomy, trabeculectomy, iStent or another procedure is appropriate.
Monitoring and adjustment
Attend scheduled reviews so pressure, optic nerve health and visual fields can be tracked and treatment adjusted.
Clearer cost guidance
Understand your glaucoma care cost before you decide.
Your estimated cost depends on the investigations required, treatment approach, provider and ongoing monitoring plan.

Glaucoma treatment options,
explained clearly.
The recommended approach depends on your glaucoma type, target eye pressure, optic nerve findings, progression and response to previous treatment.
Prescription treatment
Eye drops
Prescription drops lower eye pressure by reducing fluid production or improving fluid drainage.
- Common treatment for many glaucoma types
- Must be used exactly as prescribed
- Regular pressure checks remain important
Procedure-based option
Laser treatment
Laser may improve fluid drainage or create an alternative pathway, depending on the glaucoma type.
- May be offered before or alongside drops
- The effect and duration vary by patient
- Suitability depends on glaucoma type
Selected angle-closure cases
Iridectomy
A peripheral iridectomy removes a very small piece of iris to create an opening that helps fluid move through the eye in selected cases.
- Creates an alternative pathway through the iris
- May be considered when laser iridotomy is unsuitable
- Used only for an appropriate glaucoma mechanism
Filtering surgery
Trabeculectomy
A tiny drainage opening is created under the upper eyelid so fluid can leave the eye and lower intraocular pressure.
- Often considered when other treatment is insufficient
- Can achieve a lower target eye pressure
- Needs close post-operative monitoring
Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery
iStent surgery
A very small trabecular micro-bypass stent is placed to improve the eye's natural fluid drainage and help reduce pressure.
- Considered for selected open-angle glaucoma
- May be performed alongside cataract surgery
- Suitability depends on angle anatomy and disease stage
Advanced pressure control
Glaucoma implant surgery
A specialist may place a small drainage tube or shunt to help fluid leave the eye when another approach is unlikely to control pressure adequately.
- Used for selected or complex glaucoma cases
- Requires procedure-specific aftercare
- Recommended only after specialist assessment
No single treatment is right for everyone. Your ophthalmology specialist should explain the expected benefits, limitations, risks and monitoring needs of each suitable option.

Why choose Surgitrix for glaucoma care?
We help connect the people, information and next steps involved in your treatment—so your care feels easier to understand and navigate.
The right specialist
Connect with ophthalmology expertise suited to glaucoma assessment, treatment and monitoring.
Coordinated investigations
Bring pressure checks, optic nerve imaging, visual-field testing and specialist review into one clearer journey.
Clear treatment planning
Understand your target pressure, recommended treatment, likely follow-up and next steps before proceeding.
Follow-up support
Keep ongoing monitoring, treatment adjustments and care-team communication better organised.
Monitoring and ongoing care
Protecting sight, one review at a time.
Glaucoma often requires long-term care. Surgitrix helps keep treatment instructions, pressure reviews and follow-up steps better coordinated.
01
Starting treatment
Understand your pressure-control plan
Learn how and when to use prescribed drops, what side effects to watch for and when your first response check is due.
02
Early review
Check your response
Your specialist reviews eye pressure, tolerability and adherence, then adjusts medicines or follow-up timing if needed.
03
Ongoing monitoring
Track pressure and optic nerve health
Regular pressure checks, visual-field tests and optic nerve imaging help show whether treatment is protecting your sight.
04
When treatment changes
Adjust or escalate care
If pressure remains above target or tests show progression, your specialist may change drops or discuss laser or surgery.
Glaucoma questions, answered
Understand more before your next step.
These answers provide general guidance. Your ophthalmology specialist will confirm what applies after reviewing your pressure, optic nerve, visual fields and health history.
Still have a question?
Our care team can help you understand the consultation process.
Can glaucoma be cured?
Glaucoma usually cannot be cured, and vision already lost generally cannot be restored. Treatment aims to lower eye pressure and slow or prevent further damage.
Does glaucoma always cause symptoms?
No. Common forms can develop gradually without noticeable early symptoms. Sudden severe eye pain, redness, blurred vision, halos, headache or nausea requires urgent medical assessment.
How is glaucoma diagnosed?
Assessment can include eye-pressure measurement, optic nerve examination and imaging, visual-field testing, corneal-thickness measurement and examination of the eye's drainage angle.
Will I need eye drops for life?
Many people need long-term treatment, but the plan varies. Laser or surgery may reduce drop dependence for some patients. Do not stop prescribed drops unless your specialist advises it.
When are laser treatment or surgery considered?
They may be considered as an initial option for suitable glaucoma types or when drops do not control pressure adequately. Depending on the glaucoma mechanism and severity, options can include laser, iridectomy, trabeculectomy, iStent or drainage-implant surgery.
Can vision lost to glaucoma return?
Optic nerve damage and related sight loss are usually permanent. Early diagnosis, consistent treatment and regular monitoring are intended to preserve the vision that remains.
