Can modafinil or depakote cause glaucoma?i am diagnosed and 29 years old.if i take my treatment eye drops am i sure i will not go blind?

Not really: These medicines do not cause glaucoma. You must follow your instructions from your eye md and keep all scheduled appointments. Unfortunately there are no guarantees in health and biology.

No: Neither drug causes glaucoma. It sounds like you've been diagnosed with glaucama. Neither drug you mentioned caused it. There are psychiatric drugs that can aggravate certain types of glaucoma. You need to discuss this with your ophthalmologist as he knows more about your glaucoma that we can deal with here.
