Glaucoma, often called the “silent thief of sight,” can cause irreversible vision loss. When medications or lasers aren’t enough, surgical intervention becomes necessary. At Specialized Surgical Center of Central NJ, we offer both minimally invasive and traditional glaucoma surgeries.
We proudly serve patients from Highland Park, Princeton, and Staten Island, delivering advanced glaucoma care with precision and compassion.
For early to moderate glaucoma, MIGS procedures lower eye pressure with less risk and shorter recovery.
For severe cases, we perform trabeculectomy or tube shunt surgeries to effectively reduce intraocular pressure.

Glaucoma is an eye condition where increased pressure inside the eye damages the optic nerve. If untreated, it can lead to vision loss or blindness. When eye drops or laser treatments don’t sufficiently lower pressure, surgery may be necessary to protect your vision.
At Specialized Surgical Center of Central NJ, we offer both Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS) and traditional procedures like trabeculectomy or tube shunt placement, depending on the severity of the condition.
No, glaucoma surgery is often done under local anesthesia with sedation. You may feel some pressure or mild discomfort during recovery, but pain is minimal and well-managed.
Recovery depends on the type of procedure. MIGS offers a quicker recovery, often just a few days—while traditional surgeries may require a few weeks for full healing.
There is no cure for glaucoma, but surgery can slow or halt its progression by lowering intraocular pressure. Regular follow-up is still essential after surgery.
Possibly. Some patients can reduce or eliminate the need for medications, especially after MIGS procedures, while others may still require drops to maintain pressure control.
