Dr. Robert Ritch says that he can’t tell what’s going on without knowing more about your grandmother or actually seeing her. What kind of laser is the doctor suggesting? If it’s transscleral diode, it could be reasonable. Hope this helps. Regards, Ray Bonar

My grandmother has gone blind from glaucoma, but continues to experience discomfort in her eyes. Her doctor says it’s the pressure in her eyes and advises her to do laser surgery to reduce the pressure. If she does not, he warns, they might become so uncomfortable that the eyeballs have to be taken out of the sockets! Is this a common thing, or is the doctor just trying to make more money off her condition? Please advise. Thank you. Please post reply.
