Drooping Eyelid & Uneven Pupils post Trabeculectomy
My 87 year old grandmother had a Trabeculectomy on May 5th. To date, her vision has worsened, and the eye on which the surgery was performed has a significantly larger pupil, as well as a drooping eyelid.
She also suffers from macular degeneration. Currently in the non-surgical eye she is still taking her glaucoma eye drops, in the surgical eye she is only taking Pred Forte.
Is the drooping eyelid and large pupil only due to the Pred Forte or may there be complications related to the surgery?

No its not the Pred Forte. Larger pupil and droopy lids likely due to surgery.
