Guys...
My dad has glaucoma and eye stroke each side...
He went to Lam Wah Ee Penang years ago, the doctor just give him eyedrops, his sight become worse day by day, now couldn't even recognise heights of floor, always fall down when the floor is not flat.


I read the articles about glaucoma, the only way is surgery, I know it won't cure but at least my dad won't become blind...

My question is,
1. I heard sight will become worse after surgery , is it true?
2. Is my dad too late to go for surgery? 61 years old.

Depends on the type of glaucoma your father has. Need ophthalmology to check & advice

My mom done her glaucoma surgery at the age of 71 at Hospital Ampang KL.

mind to share what kind of surgery ? is laser or insert tube 1 ? and cost how much for the surgery ?

looks like cut a hole on eyeball to balance pressure in and out of eyeball

gomen hospital, the surgery and stay at hospital for around 5 days cost few hundreds only, too cheap to remember it compared to farking Lam Wah Ee

but replace cornea is RM700+ for the cornea alone, still very cheap compare to private

depends on severity then the doctor will arrange

my dad has this problem since years ago, went to Lam Wah Ee, and what they could do is just give my dad eyedrop and charge RM300+, they dun have specialist in this but keep sucking blood

the doctor in government hospital straightaway make a surgery appointment just around 2 weeks later.

if only our time didnt wasted by that shit private hospital, my dad's eyes will be fine

i am lucky with the government hospital quality, the doctors were so dedicated, they will go to find another specialists to discuss about my dad's condition
