What are alternatives to reducing the pressure in the eye?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Three alternatives: The most common way this is done is with eye drops. Laser surgery and incisional surgery are also available. A few medications taken orally, such as beta-blockers and carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, also work. Discuss your options with an ophthalmologist.
