At Almoosa Clinics & Day Surgery Center, we specialize in precision glaucoma surgery, offering a full range of advanced procedures to help patients regain control over elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) and protect their vision.
We provide expert surgical treatment options including:
- Trabeculectomy
- Ex-PRESS Mini Shunt
- iStent inject® W
- PRESERFLO® MicroShunt
- Selective laser trabeculoplasty
When Is Glaucoma Surgery Recommended?
Surgical intervention becomes necessary when:
- Eye pressure remains uncontrolled despite medication
- Vision loss or optic nerve damage continues to progress
- Patient compliance with eye drops is difficult or inconsistent
- Rapid IOP reduction is required due to acute glaucoma
Our Glaucoma Surgical Options
Trabeculectomy – Gold Standard Filtration Surgery
This traditional but highly effective procedure creates a new drainage channel beneath the conjunctiva to allow aqueous humor to flow out of the eye more efficiently.
Benefits:
- Long-term IOP control
- Customizable technique
- Often combined with antimetabolites like Mitomycin C (MMC) to prevent scarring
Ex-PRESS Mini Shunt – Precision Drainage Valve
A small stainless-steel shunt implanted under a scleral flap to redirect fluid flow. Offers similar results to trabeculectomy with less tissue disruption.
Benefits:
- Predictable outflow dynamics
- Reduced inflammation
- Faster recovery time
iStent inject® W – Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS)
A microscopic stent inserted during cataract surgery to improve natural aqueous outflow through the trabecular meshwork.
Ideal for:
- Patients with mild to moderate open-angle glaucoma
- Individuals undergoing cataract removal
- Those seeking anatomically conservative solutions
PRESERFLO® MicroShunt – Innovative Subconjunctival Drainage
Made from biocompatible SIBS polymer, this microshunt offers excellent IOP control with a significantly reduced risk of complications compared to traditional filtration surgeries.
Advantages:
- Minimal scarring and fibrosis
- Fewer postoperative interventions
- Effective for moderate to advanced glaucoma cases
Advanced Technologies & Safety Protocols
To ensure safe and successful outcomes, we use:
- Mitomycin C (MMC): To reduce post-surgical scarring
- Intraoperative gonioscopy: For precise MIGS placement
- Multimodal imaging: For detailed evaluation of the anterior chamber angle and optic nerve
- Sterile microsurgical environments: Ensuring infection-free procedures
Recovery & Post-Operative Care
After glaucoma surgery, patients can expect:
- Post-op medications: Antibiotic and anti-inflammatory eye drops
- Frequent follow-ups: Weekly visits during the first month
- Pressure monitoring: Adjustments to sutures or medications as needed
- Gradual visual improvement: Over several weeks
- Activity restrictions: Avoid heavy lifting or rubbing the eye
