“What are the treatment options for glaucoma?”

First of all, it depends on one thing. You must reduce the intraocular pressure. That can be done with eye drops, laser, treatment, or surgical filtration treatment with or without a tube. It totally depends on how severe the Glaucoma is.

The answer to this question will depend upon what type of glaucoma you have, and there are many types. If you have narrow angle glaucoma, the pressure can be lowered by having an iridotomy done (laser eye surgery) which should reduce your eye pressure. Sometimes cataract surgery can also increase the narrow angle to a wider angle also reducing your eye pressure. There are many types of open angle glaucoma and eye drops can be used to reduce your eye pressure. Please remember that new drops are coming onto the market frequently and a combination of 2 or more drops may be needed in order to get you to a safe pressure. Also, you should know that glaucoma is not a short-term problem. You will need to be followed for the rest of your life. And your optic nerves must be monitored by having dilated eye exams, having visual field tests, getting 3-6 month eye pressure checks, and visual acuity check-ups.
Good luck and best wishes.
