Cost Comparison: Laser vs. Eye Drops vs. Surgery in the Philippines Managing glaucoma is a long-term commitment that often requires a combination of treatments such as eye drops, laser therapy, or surgery. Each method differs not only in its medical approach but also in cost implications, which can significantly influence a patient’s decision. In this […]

Canaloplasty Surgery in the Philippines: Comprehensive Guide Canaloplasty is a specialized, non-penetrating glaucoma surgery designed to restore the eye’s natural drainage system, thereby reducing intraocular pressure (IOP). Unlike traditional glaucoma surgeries that create a new drainage pathway, canaloplasty works by enhancing the function of the existing canal, making it a safer and less invasive option

Viscocanalostomy Surgery in the Philippines Overview of Viscocanalostomy Viscocanalostomy is a type of non-penetrating glaucoma surgery designed to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP) without fully entering the eye’s anterior chamber. It involves creating a controlled opening in the sclera and injecting a viscoelastic material into Schlemm’s canal to improve aqueous humor drainage. This procedure is often

Deep Sclerectomy Surgery in the Philippines Managing glaucoma effectively often requires surgical intervention, especially when medications or laser treatments fail to keep intraocular pressure (IOP) under control. One of the advanced surgical techniques gaining recognition worldwide is Deep Sclerectomy—a non-penetrating glaucoma surgery that offers safer and more controlled pressure reduction compared to traditional filtering surgeries

Laser Cyclophotocoagulation (CPC) in the Philippines Overview of CPC Laser Cyclophotocoagulation (CPC) is an advanced laser procedure used for patients with uncontrolled glaucoma, especially those who have not responded well to medications or prior surgeries. CPC targets the ciliary body—the part of the eye that produces aqueous humor—to reduce fluid production and lower intraocular pressure

Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS) in the Philippines Overview of MIGS Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS) represents a newer class of surgical procedures designed to lower intraocular pressure (IOP) with fewer complications compared to traditional surgeries like trabeculectomy. These techniques involve small incisions, shorter recovery time, and reduced risk of severe side effects. MIGS procedures

Glaucoma Drainage Devices (Tube Shunt Surgery) in the Philippines Overview of Tube Shunt Surgery Glaucoma drainage devices (also known as tube shunt implants) are surgical options for patients whose glaucoma is not controlled by medications or laser treatments. The procedure involves implanting a small device in the eye to help drain excess aqueous fluid, reducing

Trabeculectomy Surgery in the Philippines Trabeculectomy is a common surgical treatment for glaucoma patients whose intraocular pressure cannot be managed by medications or laser therapy. This procedure helps lower eye pressure by creating a new drainage pathway for fluid to exit the eye, reducing the risk of optic nerve damage and vision loss. How Trabeculectomy
