Treatments for glaucoma and cataracts

  • Connie Wu MD, Cataract surgery, glaucoma surgery, minimally invasive glaucoma surgery, glaucoma laser

    Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgeries

    Also known as "MIGS," these glaucoma surgeries are relatively lower risk compared to traditional glaucoma surgeries and can be safely combined with cataract surgery.

  • Selective laser trabeculoplasty, Connie Wu MD, Cataract surgery, glaucoma surgery, minimally invasive glaucoma surgery, glaucoma laser

    Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty

    SLT is a safe and effective minimally-invasive laser treatment to lower eye pressure. It can be used as a first-line treatment alone or in conjunction with eye drops.

  • Connie Wu MD, Cataract surgery, glaucoma surgery, minimally invasive glaucoma surgery, glaucoma laser

    Traditional Glaucoma Surgeries

    Trabeculectomy and tube shunt surgery are indicated in certain cases when a significant reduction in eye pressure is needed and other treatment options have failed.

  • Connie Wu MD, Cataract surgery, glaucoma surgery, minimally invasive glaucoma surgery, glaucoma laser

    Cataract Surgery

    The eye's natural lens eventually becomes a cataract, which is curable with a cataract surgery. Modern cataract surgery replaces the aged, cloudy lens with a crystal-clear lens.

  • Elective intraocular lenses, Connie Wu MD, Cataract surgery, glaucoma surgery, minimally invasive glaucoma surgery, glaucoma laser

    Elective Intraocular Lenses

    Elective intraocular lenses can permanently correct astigmatism and/or allow for extended range of clear vision, significantly reducing the need for glasses after cataract surgery.

  • YAG Capsulotomy, Connie Wu MD, Cataract surgery, glaucoma surgery, minimally invasive glaucoma surgery, glaucoma laser

    YAG Capsulotomy

    Some eyes develop clouding behind the new lens after cataract surgery, and require a laser procedure called a YAG capsulotomy to clear up the opacity and restore clear vision.
