Will glaucoma get better?

Glaucoma is a disease that requires lifelong medication just like high blood pressure. With appropriate treatment, the progression of the disease can be stopped.

How is glaucoma treated?

Glaucoma is basically treated with eye drops. Today, there are very effective drugs available. But these drops should be chosen by the ophthalmologist. Some drops are not compatible with heart and respiratory diseases. Some drugs may also develop resistance in the body over time. Laser therapy can be applied if deemed necessary in open-angle glaucoma. In cases where these are not effective, surgical treatment is applied. The classical surgical treatment is trabeculectomy. But today, implant surgery has developed a lot. Thus, both the duration of the surgery is shortened and the risk ratio is reduced.
