Treatment: You have inadequate drainage of the fluid inside your eye and will lose vision if it is not lowered. If possible you should see an ophthalmologist with a specialty in glaucoma who can advise the best anti-pressure drops and perhaps surgery if they do not work well.

Discuss with MD: Eye pressure can be controlled using eyedrops, oral medications, laser procedures, and surgery to increase outflow of pressure-causing fluid in your eye. Your ophthalmologist can discuss the further options in your case. You can also get the opinion from a glaucoma specialist if one is available in your area.
