Hi, After Laser surgery for NA Glaucoma my IOP remained at 15/16mmHg for 5/6 years. Of late in 2018, it was 22/20mmHg without any apparent indication in premature. As precaution, Dr.advised to instill Xalatan once at night. Since last one year it is steady at 17/14mmHg. My vision is normal. Am I case for Surgery? Why IOP went High? Your opinion will be highly appreciated.

By laser surgery, did you mean just laser application or proper surgery for glaucoma was done? If after the laser or surgery, if iop rose, that means failure of the treatment. But since with eye drops, since the pressure is under control, leave it at it. But yes, regular 6monthly (atleast) follow up is needed.
