Glaucoma surgery may take about 10-40 minutes, depending on your own situation.
If the patient's glaucoma is mild, it is treated by simple trabeculectomy, and the surgical process usually takes about 10 minutes; if the patient's glaucoma is severe, peripheral iridectomy is taken, and the time is about 15 minutes; if external filtering glaucoma surgery is taken, glaucoma drainage device implantation before intraocular pressure is used, the surgical time is relatively long, and the process generally takes about 30-40 minutes.
