Cost of Different Types of Glaucoma Surgery in India
The most suitable approach for glaucoma surgery is decided according to the type of glaucoma. The techniques involve-
Laser Glaucoma Surgery
Laser surgery is recommended for open-angle glaucoma. It involves using a laser to make the drainage to allow the fluids to flow out properly, thereby reducing eye pressure. There are different types of laser surgery, i.e., laser trabeculoplasty, iridotomy, and cyclophotocoagulation. Overall, the cost of laser glaucoma surgery will be around Rs. 35,000 to Rs. 40,000.
Filtering Surgery or Trabeculectomy
This technique involves creating an opening in the sclera, the white part of the eye. This opening allows the fluid to drain from the eye, reducing the pressure. The cost of trabeculectomy ranges from Rs. 30,000 to Rs. 40,000 approximately.
Drainage Implants
This procedure involves placing a drainage tube in the eye and creating a reservoir beneath the conjunctiva. The eye fluid drains into the reservoir and then gets absorbed by the body naturally. Glaucoma surgery using drainage implants will cost around Rs. 40,000 to Rs. 50,000.
