Government doctor just told him glaucoma may be he miss out something .

This is sometimes why doctors should give patients written/dictated letters (I've normally seen this done) for easier recall. Anyway, Tun Hussein Onn National Eye Hospital is a better option for a second opinion+comprehensive diagnosis/explanation.

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.

1. There is a RISK of transient vision loss with recovery, and a much rarer central vision loss risk. But the real aim of glaucoma trabeculectomy is to reduce the RISK of further vision loss.
2. Thankfully, opthalmological surgeries are one of the least invasive surgeries there are, so age is less of a risk factor. For those who opt for general anaesthesia (glaucoma surgery can be done with the patient awake), the general anaesthesia risk could be said to overshadow the trabeculectomy itself.

Wish your family well.
