Medications
Non-Surgical Treatment
The mainstay of glaucoma treatment in its early stages is the use of eye pressure lowering eye drops. These medications commonly work by decreasing the amount of aqueous humor fluid produced by the eye, effectively “turning off the tap” of eye fluid and thereby helping to lower the eye pressure. Other glaucoma eye drops work by causing more fluid to drain out of the eye. Most glaucoma can be slowed greatly or even halted with the use of eye drops alone.
