I was diaognised with glucoma in right eye in Dec 2017. Two different field test was showing VFI of 74% and at Centre for sight 79%. Other tests OCT, CCT, DVT was done. Doctor said initial glucoma and was taking Xalatan drop every day. After 4 months field test again at Centre for sight is showing decrease in VFI to 73%. Is this normal or cause of concern Ian's change in treatment is required

In glaucoma the damage once taken place can't be reversed. Regular check up and treatment can manage to maintain the status quo and prevent further damage.
