Glaucoma is a disease of the eye associated with a condition in which the ability to drain aqueous humor is affected. Where other treatments have failed to address the problem surgery may be necessary to correct the fault. A laser may be used to encourage drainage or a filtering surgery may be necessary, if lasers and drugs have not been successful. Failure to treat glaucoma leads to blindness.
