Glaucoma Treatment in Cancun
What is glaucoma surgery like?
All glaucoma treatment techniques are typically performed under local anesthesia, meaning the eyeball is anesthetized. This means the patient is awake and conscious at all times, but does not experience any pain during glaucoma surgery. The anesthesiologist also provides sedatives to keep the patient calm.
Seeing the world clearly is not just a privilege, it is a new way of living.
Glaucoma surgeries
Goniotomy (Ab Interno)
Minimally invasive procedure for treating glaucoma, in which the drainage angle of the eye is opened to improve the flow of aqueous humor and reduce intraocular pressure.SubCyclo Laser (Micropulsed)
Micropulse laser treatment that acts on the ciliary body to reduce aqueous humor production, indicated for controlling eye pressure in advanced glaucoma.Cycloablation (Continuous Pulse)
Continuous pulse laser procedure that destroys part of the ciliary body to reduce aqueous humor production and lower intraocular pressure, used in glaucoma resistant to other treatments.Deep Non-Penetrating Sclerotomy (NPDS)
Filtering surgery creates a drainage pathway without completely perforating the eye, allowing controlled drainage of aqueous humor and reducing eye pressure with a lower risk of complications.Surgery with Preserflo Implant
Minimally invasive surgical procedure in which a microtube is placed to improve aqueous humor drainage and control intraocular pressure in patients with glaucoma.Ahmed Valve Placement
Drainage implant that regulates the outflow of aqueous humor and helps reduce intraocular pressure in cases of advanced glaucoma or glaucoma refractory to other treatments.
Non-surgical therapies
Argon Laser Iridoplasty
Laser procedure that reshapes the iris to improve aqueous humor drainage, used in cases of angle closure or alterations in the structure of the iris.SLT Laser (Selective Trabeculoplasty)
Laser treatment that stimulates trabecular cells to improve aqueous humor drainage without damaging tissue, recommended for patients with open-angle glaucoma.YAG Laser Peripheral Iridotomy
A small opening in the iris made with a YAG laser to allow the flow of aqueous humor and prevent angle-closure glaucoma or high eye pressure attacks.
