Why Choose Treatment for Glaucoma?

Glaucoma damage cannot be reversed, but it can be stopped. You may benefit from treatment if your daily life is being affected by any of the following:

High eye pressure that puts your sight at risk.

A gradual loss of your peripheral (side) vision.

Blurred vision or halos around lights at night.

Difficulty reading, driving, or performing daily tasks.

Frequent headaches or pain behind the eyes.

A family history of glaucoma that increases your risk.

Our specialist will assess your eye pressure and optic nerve health to confirm whether treatment is right for you.

Your Treatment Options

Glaucoma Surgical Options

SLT

Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty

A non-invasive 5-minute laser procedure that targets the eye's drainage system to reduce pressure. Typically the first surgical step for open-angle glaucoma, with no incisions or stitches required.

Trabeculectomy

Trabeculectomy

A microsurgical procedure that creates a tiny drainage channel under the eyelid to relieve eye pressure. Highly effective for advanced glaucoma where laser treatment alone is insufficient.

Deep Sclerectomy

Deep Sclerectomy

A bleb-free filtration surgery that removes layers of scleral tissue to improve drainage without fully opening the eye. Offers a favourable lower-risk profile compared to traditional trabeculectomy.

MIGS

Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery

A group of micro-incision procedures using tiny stents or channels to improve fluid outflow. Ideal for mild-to-moderate glaucoma, often combined with cataract surgery for faster recovery.

I can highly recommend the Eye Doctor Clinic, and I am so pleased I went there. Dr Musa, Gemma and Jess are lovely. They are very knowledgeable and were able to answer all my questions. My vision following surgery is great, and not having to wear glasses is fantastic.

Carol Peel

★★★★★

I recently had LASEK eye surgery - Dr Musa and team were excellent - pre and post op care is exceptional - highly recommend.

Michelle Cowan

★★★★★

Luckily, I was advised to see Dr Musa. At the consultation, I was impressed by the thorough examination I received and the surgical plan. I confidently undertook surgery, and after an extremely short recovery, I was amazed at the result. Better than 20/20 vision! I certainly would not now trust anyone else other than Dr Musa with the health of my eyes.

John Hick

★★★★★

Dr Musa was recommended to me for my cataract surgery for both eyes. He performed the surgery with utmost care and professionalism. He explained the procedure and outcome to me in detail. I am very pleased with the result so far and look forward to years of spectacle-free life. He was warm and friendly, and the procedure cost was explained at the outset, with no hidden fees.
