Glaucoma surgery in Prof. Or Kaiserman
About the clinic
Glaucoma surgery at the clinic of Prof. Dr. Or Kaiserman in Petah Tikva, Israel, provides advanced options to lower eye pressure and protect vision. Patients can choose between non-invasive laser treatments or minimally invasive implants to reduce their daily reliance on eye drops. The clinic is led by Prof. Dr. Or Kaiserman, a specialist with over 30 years of experience in cornea and glaucoma surgery.
Advanced Surgical Options
The clinic offers two primary methods to manage intraocular pressure. Each treatment aims to improve the drainage of fluid from the eye. The choice of procedure depends on the severity of the glaucoma and the patient's specific needs.
- Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT): This is a quick, safe laser procedure performed in just a few minutes. It uses topical drops for anesthesia and requires no hospital stay. The laser helps fluid drain more easily, often reducing the need for daily medication.
- XEN Gel Stent Implant: This minimally invasive surgery involves placing a 6 mm collagen tube in the eye. The stent is biocompatible and flexible, creating a permanent channel for fluid to exit. This method carries a lower risk of complications compared to traditional glaucoma surgeries.
Expertise of Prof. Dr. Or Kaiserman
Prof. Dr. Or Kaiserman manages all glaucoma treatments with over 30 years of clinical experience. He completed a specialized fellowship in cornea and laser surgery at the University of Toronto. As a professor at Ben-Gurion University, he has published over 100 peer-reviewed articles in international journals. Prof. Dr. Kaiserman also serves as the head of the Cornea and Dry Eye Clinic at Barzilai Medical Center. His deep knowledge of both laser and surgical techniques helps him select the most effective approach for each case.
Recovery and Results
Both procedures are performed as day surgeries. For the XEN implant, patients are typically discharged just 2 hours after the operation. Before the surgery, patients undergo a full eye exam, including visual field tests and OCT imaging. After the procedure, the eye is protected with a plastic shield for 24 hours. Most patients return to their normal daily activities within a few days, though vision may stay blurry for a short time. Regular follow-up visits occur at one day and one week to monitor eye pressure. A final prescription for glasses is usually provided four weeks after the surgery.
