Which eye drops prevent glaucoma pain?
2 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
See Ophthalmologist: Glaucoma is pressure in your eye above a normal level and can permanently damage your vision. It is usually not painful (chronic open angle glaucoma) but can be with closed angle glaucoma. See an Ophthalmologist for an exam to diagnose and treat correctly.

Glaucoma not painful: If you have glaucoma, and have pain, then the cause is something else than the glaucoma. The only painful glaucoma comes from acute angle closure glaucoma or advanced hemorrhagic glaucoma. The most common glaucomas are painless. If you have pain, discuss this with your ophthalmologist.
