What are the risks and recovery expectations for this procedure?

Risks are generally low but may include temporary inflammation, elevated eye pressure, bleeding, or stent malposition. Serious complications such as infection or vision loss are rare. Recovery typically takes 2–4 weeks, during which patients may experience mild discomfort, blurred vision, or light sensitivity. Most patients resume normal activities within a few days, but strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for at least two weeks. Follow-up visits are scheduled to monitor eye pressure and ensure proper healing.
