Description: Being told you need laser treatment or surgery to treat your glaucoma can be an overwhelming experience. Though you will be given information on the procedure itself, it’s likely that you will still have lots of questions about what to expect. Speaking to someone who has already had the laser treatment or surgery can offer much needed re-assurance and helps to make the unknown a little less daunting. If you have any questions about laser treatment or surgery for glaucoma, we can put you in touch with someone (referred to as a ‘buddy’) who has already had the procedure. They can talk you through their own experience of the treatment, relate to concerns you may have and answer any questions.
