I am a 56 year old female recently diagnosed with Glaucoma.
I am exploring the option of laser surgery as a method of controlling eye pressure for open angle glaucoma.
Could you speak to the effectiveness, risks and benefits of this procedure. Does it only last for a while and can it cause cataracts? I have had two cataract surgeries in my left eye, one was an explant of a restor lens in January 2009.
My right eye has a small cataract and has not yet been operated on, I am wearing a distance contact in it.
