Suggest Treatment For Glaucoma
Hi My father is a diabetic and is suffering from advanced stage of glaucoma . We met a couple of doctors . One is suggesting a surgery wherein an artificial tube will be used and another doctor suggests that the success rate of the artificial tube surgery is very less and that the surgery should be done in the traditional way without the tube. We reside in Jaipur -india . Pls help
