Hi,

My 83yr old mother has both cataracts and glaucoma. The fluid pressure
in her eyes ranges between 24 and 28. Her long standing specialist
recently suggested a laser operation to relieve the glaucoma.

She sought a second opinion and the recommendation was to do the
cataracts only, as probably the pressure will lower itself afterwards.

Then she went to see a thirds specialist who suggested that she should
have surgery for both the cataracts and glaucoma together, because in
his opinion, the fluid pressure raises after a cataracts operation and
also there is  a high risk that debris can block the drainage channels.
Both felt that in her case the proposed laser surgery would be a waste
of money and time.

She is now completely at a loss.

Any suggestions most welcome and many thanks.

Best Regards
Craig
