Glaucoma is the leading cause of blindness and visual impairment in the US. Once glaucoma has been diagnosed, treatment should begin as soon as possible to help minimize the risk of permanent vision loss. There is no cure for glaucoma, so treatment focuses on relieving symptoms and preventing further damage from occurring. Most cases of glaucoma can be treated with eye drops, laser, or microsurgery. The best treatment for your individual case depends on the type and severity of the disease and can be discussed with your doctor.

Standard Monofocal Implants will provide you with clear distance vision; but, you may still need corrective eyewear for near and intermediate vision. Multifocal Implants can give you a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a full range of vision. These lenses allow clear vision for near, intermediate and far distances, and can eliminate or greatly reduce the patient’s need for glasses.

After undergoing anesthesia, you may experience side effects like muscle aches, a sore throat, drowsiness, headaches, or dizziness. You may also experience nausea. These side effects usually decline rapidly after any surgical procedure, though it may take a few days before they entirely subside.
Remember to use any discharge papers you’re given as a resource, as they will tell you about what activities are acceptable after surgery. Your surgeon will go over these, including when you can return to your job and work. After surgery, make sure you relax, get plenty of rest, and drink enough fluids.
