Posted , 3 users are following.

Im 47 years old and lost a lot of vision before diagnosis. Started on drops, had bad side effects inc fatigue and red eyes. When pressure rose I had trab surgery but after 2 years pressure rose again and Im back on drops. Has anyone else been in this position and know what options I have left to save sight?

    Hallo Duncan ...what type of Trabeculectomy did you have?Look at Glaucoma NHS for all the options explained. It may help you discuss your further treatment with your ophthalmologist.
