10 Causes of Glaucoma
Cause Of Glaucoma #4: Surgery
It is common for people to find that their eyesight begins to fail as they get older. This is usually fixed quite easily with spectacles or contact lenses, but surgery is sometimes necessary. Eye surgery is usually straightforward and complications are not common. Things don’t always go according to plan, however.
Surgery can lead to scars and can also affect the balance of the fluids in the eye, leading to glaucoma. Glaucoma that has developed in this way is known as secondary glaucoma. It is usually not possible to treat the condition, but thankfully it is only very rarely that it happens.
