Answer 5

Glaucoma cannot be cured.This is a given.It can be contained with a daily schedule of drops for a long while. If the pressures start to get too high, damage to retina and optic nerve can result,at this time laser surgery may help by enlarging the holes at the top and bottom of the iris to reduce pressures.The eyes should be monitored at least every 6 months a year to ensure the drops are doing there job and a field of vision test is required yearly to check for peripheral vision loss due to glaucoma.
