Phacolytic glaucoma that with most cases, of phacolytic glaucoma post surgery patients are not exposed to many further obstacles in the healing process which therefore avoids the need for medication. Although, it is mostly encouraged that patients take antiglaucoma medication in order to deter the possibility of glaucoma and inflammation implicating the eye. One of these medications include eye drops which contain prostaglandin analogs. Prostaglandin analogs aim to lower intraocular pressure which thereby avoids inflammation to ensure an efficient healing process after cataract removal. Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (CAI) in the form of pills, disables the production of the sodium pump in the
Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery Micro-invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) is the latest advance in surgical treatment for glaucoma, which aims to reduce intraocular pressure by either increasing outflow of aqueous humor or reducing its production. MIGS comprises a group of surgical procedures which share common features. MIGS procedures involve a minimally invasive approach, often with small cuts or micro-incisions through the cornea that causes the least amount of trauma to surrounding scleral and conjunctival tissues. The techniques minimize tissue scarring, allowing for the possibility of traditional glaucoma procedures such as trabeculectomy or glaucoma valve implantation (also known as glaucoma drainage device)
