What Causes Pressure In The Left Eye After A Cataract Surgery?
history of glaucoma Had cataract surgery on left eye and pressure up to 40 post op. Meds given and checked for weeks. Finally went to glaucoma specialist and 40 pressure found on other eye ---never measured since surgery according to records. I have been on Cosopt and Durezol for almost a year. Deminished vision in rt eye and irritated. Pressure in both at 15 and 18 at last check. I had been seen by this doctor for over 20 years and he was fully aware of the glaucoma Not what!!
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.
