I was diagnosed with glaucoma 9 years ago. I was treated by doctors using eye drops to control the pressure in my eyes. I started with one eye drop for my right eye and eventually I had to use four types of eye drops to control the pressure in both of my eyes. I was under the bondage of the eye drops for the past 9 years. Wherever I went, whether it was within Malaysia or overseas, the eye drops had to follow me. Thank God that a church member recommended me to see Dr Shin in Ipoh Eye Specialist Centre. Dr Shin suggested Trabeculectomy surgery to reduce the pressure in both eyes. Initially I was worry about this glaucoma surgery but Dr Shin patiently explained the whole procedure to me to alleviate my concern. I had surgery done on my left eye in July 2019 and the surgery on the right eye was done in September 2019. I thank God for the skillful hands of Dr Shin to enable the surgeries to be carried out smoothly and successfully. Since then I have not used glaucoma eye drops for a year now and the pressure readings in both of my eyes are within the acceptable range. I thank God and Dr Shin for helping me to be free from the bondage of eye drops. Trabeculectomy surgery can lower eye pressure and help glaucoma patients to live a life free from using eye drops all the time. Chan Kam Poh
