Seton surgery is a procedure typically performed to properly drain fluid from the inside of the eye by implanting a drainage device. This device is used to control intraocular pressure. Seton surgeries are commonly employed to treat conditions such as glaucoma or imbalanced drainage of fluid within the eye.

Eye pressure, also known as intraocular pressure (IOP), refers to the fluid pressure inside the eye. Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions where elevated eye pressure can damage the optic nerve, leading to vision loss.
Glaucoma often progresses without noticeable symptoms in its early stages. However, as the condition advances, individuals may experience vision loss, peripheral vision problems, halos around lights, and eye pain.
How is eye pressure measured? Eye pressure is measured using a tonometer. The most common method involves numbing the eye with eye drops and then using a small device to gently touch the surface of the eye and measure the pressure.
Treatment may include prescription eye drops, oral medications, laser therapy, or surgical interventions. The goal is to reduce eye pressure and slow down or prevent further damage to the optic nerve.
