The physiological blind spot is enlarged because your previous glaucoma attack caused irreversible damage to your optic nerve. What we need to do now is to check the intraocular pressure regularly to prevent the intraocular pressure from rising without warning and causing damage to the optic nerve again. Usually, the intraocular pressure is measured every three months and the visual field is measured every six months after glaucoma surgery.
