Your doctor can help you identify what is the best treatment option for your condition.
There are different types of glaucoma, hence different treatments. The most common Tx is with eye drops, then there is laser surgery or more advanced invasive surgery that can be done.
New eye drops, new lasers, new implants and new operations.
