Sharza Operation

Sharza surgery is one of the most common surgical procedures used to treat glaucoma. Glaucoma is an eye disease characterized by increased intraocular pressure, which can lead to blurred vision and even blindness. The Shartz operation was developed by the Soviet ophthalmologist Georgy Shartz in 1939, and since then it has become one of the main methods of treating glaucoma.

The Schartz procedure involves creating a side hole in the sclera, the white lining of the eye, through which excess fluid can drain out of the eye, reducing intraocular pressure. To perform the Schartz operation, a special instrument called a sclerotome is used. Using this instrument, the surgeon creates a small hole in the sclera through which fluid can exit the eye.

Shartz surgery can be performed under both local and general anesthesia. After the procedure, patients may be prescribed eye drops to prevent infections and help restore vision. Depending on the severity of the disease and the individual characteristics of the patient, it may take several days or weeks to fully recover from surgery.

Although Sharza surgery is a relatively simple procedure, it can be effective in treating glaucoma, especially in cases where other treatments have not worked. However, like any medical procedure, Sharza surgery has its own risks and side effects, so it should only be performed by qualified specialists.
