Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness in the world and follow-up is life-long in order to prevent and detect visual loss. Patients with glaucoma may encounter some oculoplastic conditions that might associate with decrement of functional ability or cosmetic problems. Detailed understanding and addressing the risk factors is essential to minimize complications after glaucoma surgery. An oculoplastic surgeon should be aware of the problems of a glaucoma patient, to get good cosmetic and functional results given its interference with the patient's visual field and quality of life.
