Laser surgery, which is performed in an outpatient treatment room, takes from 10-15 minutes. For the most common type of glaucoma the laser procedure is called argon laser trabeculoplasty. In this procedure the laser spot is applied to the drainage mechanism of the eye to increase the outflow of fluid, thus lowering eye pressure. For a less common type of glaucoma -- called narrow angle glaucoma -- a different laser procedure, called peripheral iridectomy, is performed. Here the laser creates a tiny hole in the iris -- the colored part of the eye -- and allows the drainage area to widen. This prevents complete closure of the drain and subsequent extremely high eye pressure.
Oculoplastic surgeons also undertake aesthetic treatments and surgery to improve the cosmetic appearance of the face, such as blepharoplasty (eyelid lift) to remove excess overhanging skin of the upper eyelids and puffy bags from under the eyes ; brow lift, Botox and dermal filler injections to remove wrinkles ( crow feet) , forehead lines and tear trough deformity
