the medicine  you are using  is used for  glaucoma. if your  vision, field of vision  and iop are ok and as per your  consultant  your  c:d is stable  then  you can continue  with the same  doctor and same medicine.  but  if you are not satisfied  then  consult  a glaucoma  specialist. you  will  find  the glaucoma  specialist  in l v Prasad .

Seeing your prescribed drugs you seem to have glaucoma. Glaucoma is disease affecting the nerve of the eye. This nerve is the main connection between your eye and the brain. It takes all the information from the eye to the brain that is all you see. Due a rise in your eye pressure the nerve becomes damaged and hence information is not carried to brain properly. Also the damage is not repairable. Only further damage can be prevented. Hence an early diagnosis of the condition is very important. Also this early diagnosis is very difficult as there are no symptoms in early disease. Because of no symptoms the patient doesn't know and doesn't visit the doctor. The main aim of treatment is to normalise and keep a low pressure of your eye to prevent further damage. Hence regular followups with your ophthalmologist are necessary.
Next Steps
Visit a glaucoma specialist and stick to him and what he says.
Health Tips
Regular use of eye drops is must. In adverse conditions where despite using eye drops if your eye pressure is not under control, your doctor may advise how to go for glaucoma surgery.
