glaucoma treatment
Glaucoma treatment primarily focuses on lowering 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. Oral medications may also be prescribed in some cases.
In more advanced situations, laser therapy or surgical procedures might be necessary. Laser treatments can improve drainage, while surgery aims to create a new drainage pathway. Regular check-ups with an eye care professional are essential for monitoring the condition and adjusting treatment as needed.
