Laser treatment clears the blockage. Hence eye pressure will be normal. If needed it can be repeated. However the cause for glaucoma, has to be treated.

Glaucoma is due to some block in drainage of d liquid inside d eyes..since medications cldnt remove d block & reduce the pressure.,ur doctor has advised laser to remove it.. it is worth a try . If d clearance is effective,she may have normal pressure
