Our comprehensive glaucoma management includes medical treatments, laser procedures, and surgical interventions like trabeculectomy. We utilize micro-invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) techniques to reduce intraocular pressure. Regular monitoring ensures optimal disease control and vision preservation.
