my right eye has advanced stage glaucoma and im really worried - is there any treatment without surgery or if surgery is the only option how much would it cost
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For advanced glaucoma, non-surgical options include prescription eye drops, oral medications, and laser treatments to lower eye pressure. If these are not effective or if vision loss progresses despite them, surgery might be necessary. Glaucoma surgery can't cure or reverse vision loss, but it can help protect vision and prevent further damage

My 65-year-old mom has a cold with yellow mucus when she coughs. Is it safe for her to get eye surgery right now or should we wait?
It's generally recommended to postpone non-urgent surgery, like eye surgery, when a patient has a cold, especially with yellow mucus, due to the risk of complications and potential for the surgery to be affected by an infection. Yellow mucus indicates an infection, which can make surgery more risky.
