Living with Glaucoma

2020-06-10 07:16:03
I was diagnosed with glaucoma 3 years ago. I had SLT done in both eyes, after which my IOP droped from around 25 to around 19. I am still on medication for lowering my eye pressure. Will this medication continue for lifelong, and what are the ways of managing it efficiently?

Best way is to control it with eye drops. They usually continue for lifelong.
