Glaucoma Treatment
Glaucoma treatment primarily aims to lower intraocular pressure to prevent damage to the optic nerve. Common methods include prescription eye drops, which help reduce fluid production or increase drainage in the eye. In some cases, oral medications may also be prescribed to assist in lowering pressure.
If medications are not effective, laser therapy or surgical options may be considered. Laser treatments can improve drainage, while surgery may create a new drainage pathway. Regular check-ups with an eye care professional are essential for monitoring the condition and adjusting treatment as needed.
