Hi, It is advisable that you you use the medication as advised by you doctor and get his eye pressure checked once every 3 months. Also visual field test will need to be done once after 6 months, and if the fields are same as previous,  then once every yearly.  Corneal thickness test and Oct of optic  nerve may be needed as per your glaucoma specialist doctors discretion.
