Need docs answers! what eye drops can be used for glaucoma?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many types: In glaucoma, the internal eye pressure of the eye is elevated beyond the ability of the back of the eye to withstand it. There are 4 different categories of eyedrops to approach this. Some inhibit inflow of fluid into the eye; others increase outflow. Most work well but laser treatment and surgery is available as a next step.
