Combining Cataract Surgery with Glaucoma Stent

Nexus Eye Care17 Oct, 2024Health

Cataracts and glaucoma are two common eye conditions that can often occur together, particularly in older adults. Cataracts cause clouding of the eye’s natural lens, leading to blurry vision, while glaucoma involves damage to the optic nerve, often due to increased pressure within the eye. When these conditions coincide, managing both effectively is very important to preserving vision and overall eye health. Thankfully, one advanced treatment option is the combined procedure of cataract surgery with a glaucoma stent.
