Here is a selection of the surgical procedures he performs to manage various stages and types of glaucoma:

• Tube Shunt Surgery
  A proven procedure that helps divert fluid from the eye to lower intraocular pressure in cases of moderate to severe glaucoma.
• Xen Gel Stent
  A minimally invasive implant designed to create a new drainage pathway and control eye pressure with minimal tissue disruption.
• Endoscopic Cyclophotocoagulation (ECP)
  A targeted laser treatment that reduces the production of fluid within the eye, helping to control glaucoma progression.
• OMNI Surgical System
  A comprehensive MIGS procedure that treats all three points of resistance in the eye’s drainage system to lower intraocular pressure.
• Hydrus Microstent
  A tiny, biocompatible stent inserted into Schlemm’s canal to enhance natural fluid drainage and reduce reliance on eye drops.
• iStent inject®
  A micro-stent system implanted to improve outflow through the eye’s natural drainage channels, often performed during cataract surgery.
• Trabeculectomy
  A traditional and highly effective glaucoma surgery used in more advanced cases to create a new drainage route and lower eye pressure.

Each procedure is tailored to the individual patient’s needs, ensuring optimal outcomes and preserving vision. Don’t let glaucoma compromise your vision. Contact Gurjeet Jutley, the trusted Glaucoma Surgeon in Oxford, for expert care and personalised treatment options.

Recovery

It is important to avoid heavy lifting and swimming for one month after surgery. You will be able to go back to work the following day after surgery, as long as drops are instilled. The eye will be completely healed after six weeks.
