Redness Following Trabeculoplasty

Ask an Eye M.D. Answer Archive

Question:
Is it normal for your eye to be red after laser surgery to lower the pressure in your eye?   

Answer:
It is not unusual for an eye to be red for several days following laser trabeculoplasty. Let your ophthalmologist know if the redness persists, or if you develop blurred vision, pain, or progressive light sensitivity.
