Our glaucoma specialist consultant surgeons will guide you on which procedure will give you the best pressure control, and all surgeries can be performed under local anaesthetic so you are able to go home on the same day as the surgery.
• Trabeculectomy– modified with minimally invasive techniques providing safer & quicker surgery with microtube implants, achieving high success rates and faster recovery. NEW EXPRESS SHUNTS to lower pressure -effective & safe.

This is a new procedure which uses safer non-penetrating techniques to open up the drainage canal without ever entering the eye. These new techniques which allow safe and effective surgical treatment for high eye pressures are available at LondonOC under the care of our consultant glaucoma surgeon, Mr. V. Sharma.
• iStent- new drainage device which safely lowers pressure the natural way without having to cut into the skin (conjunctiva) so reducing the risk of scarring or failure. A quick and effective way of lowering pressure, with less trauma to the eye than conventional surgery.
