Fairly good.: Since most of your vision is conserved, your outcome, with all available to your ophthalmologist , should be good! but your letter stresses the importance of examination of the eyes, more so, to prevent most glaucoma associated damage!

Good: The prognosis is good if you use the medications as directed and keep all follow up appointments with your ophthalmologist.
