In initiated stages no surgery is required. Only medical treatment will be sufficient. By treatment it is controlled not cured.usually surgery is advisable when  medical treat seems to be not sufficient.

Currently glaucoma is only suspected, not confirmed . If and when it is confirmed, it can be controlled permanently by simple drops. Only if the drops do not help or in patients with extensive damage due to glaucoma ( not in your case) is surgery advised. Maskati eye Clinic opposite Charni road station east, Mumbai
