Taking care of your eyes after glaucoma surgery is very important. The days and weeks after your procedure help your eye pressure stay stable and protect the part of your optic nerve that still works. Surgery or laser treatments are done to help fluid drain from your eye and lower your eye pressure, but your results depend a lot on how well you recover and follow your doctor’s instructions. After surgery, the main focus is on healing and keeping your eye pressure steady, not on seeing better right away.
