Hello there.
Glaucoma is a condition in which intraocular pressure is raised due to either high production of the fluid or improper drainage.
Each case needs to be examined to find out what the type of glaucoma is because the treatment differs.
For medicine, you will have to consult a ophthalmologist in person because even if we knew what kind of glaucoma it is, its illegal to prescribe medicines on this platform.
