Awareness of Glaucoma

Glaucoma surgery is a surgical treatment procedure for glaucoma. It mainly aims to decrease the production of the aqueous humor or to drain the excessive fluid from the eye. Regular eye-checkup is the best way to detect glaucoma early so as to be successfully treated without loss of vision.
