if postoperative detected it can be treated like medication tablet drop or surgery like trabeculectomy if high iot continue then it can develop tunnel vision by restricting peripheral vision field tracing should be done and ophthal mos-copy to check cup disc ratio noted. followup should be continued visual acuity should be recorded. just recording lower pressure doe snot mean glaucoma is cured check should be continued and looks for other signs and symptoms, pressure inone eye may be related to surgery. preoperatve evaluation might not have been properly done. nowphakoemulsification is recomanded.
