Whether blurred vision can be recovered after glaucoma surgery is related to the cause of the disease. If it is caused by corneal edema, it can usually be recovered, and if it is caused by optic nerve loss, it cannot be recovered in general.
Blurred vision after glaucoma surgery is generally caused by corneal edema due to surgical stimulation. After surgery, the patient’s cornea returns to a transparent state, and most of the patient’s vision can be improved. After surgery, patients can follow the doctor’s instructions to use Pralofen eye drops, Tobramycin Dexamethasone eye drops and other medications to control inflammation and promote corneal edema subside.
If the optic nerve is damaged due to high intraocular pressure before surgery, patients may also experience vision loss, which is generally irreversible. Glaucoma surgery can only control intraocular pressure and slow down the rate of vision loss, but it is generally difficult to improve vision.
It is recommended that after glaucoma surgery, patients follow the doctor’s instructions, have regular checkups, and see a doctor when discomfort occurs.
