Eye issue - Glaucoma

2015-09-30 12:08:05
My dad was diagnosed with glaucoma, As of now the doctors have prescribed eye drops and they say the condition is stable now. My question: will the eye sight remain the same life long if the condition is stable ? Or it will decrease the sight gradually resulting in non visibility ?
