Medications for Glaucoma

Eye drops and medications used to lower eye pressure in glaucoma.

Glaucoma is a group of diseases that can harm the optic nerve in one or both eyes, potentially leading to vision loss. The most common type is open-angle glaucoma, but there are other forms, such as angle-closure glaucoma and congenital glaucoma. Many people with glaucoma do not notice any symptoms at first, but over time, they may experience a gradual loss of peripheral vision, making it feel like they are looking through a tunnel. In some cases, sudden symptoms like intense eye pain, blurry vision, or nausea may occur, which require immediate medical attention. Regular eye exams are essential for early detection and diagnosis. While there is no cure for glaucoma, various prescription medications are available to help lower eye pressure and protect the optic nerve. It’s important to discuss with your doctor which treatment option is best for you to manage this condition effectively.
