Read this excerpt from an eye consult: As is common with this condition, the medicine alone was not enough to prevent glaucoma. I have been routinely monitoring her IOP, and it has risen. It is my recommendation to perform a trabeculectomy to relieve the pressure. I discussed the risks and benefits of the surgery with Mrs. Robison, and she is interested in proceeding. She will contact my staff for scheduling. According to the excerpt:
A) The physician would like to perform a trabeculectomy (incision into the eye's trabecular meshwork) to increase some of the patient's visual acuity.
B) The physician would like to perform a trabeculectomy (loosening of the eye's trabecular meshwork) to relieve some of the pressure on the outside of the patient's eye.
C) The physician would like to perform a trabeculectomy (reconstruction of the eye's trabecular meshwork) to increase the patient's field of vision.
D) The physician would like to perform a trabeculectomy (removal of part of the eye's trabecular meshwork) to relieve some of the pressure inside the patient's eye.
E) The physician would like to perform a trabeculectomy (suture of the eye's trabecular meshwork) to heal the patient's clouded lens.
