Primary open-angle glaucoma cannot be cured, but it can usually be controlled. Some of the most common treatments are medications, in drops or pill form. These medications will help reduce pressure by slowing the flow of fluid into the eye. Others help tho improve how fluid drains. These forms of medications usually help most people and will control the pressure inside the eye. These medications can stop working over time, or may cause side effects. Laser Surgery is another treatment option for glaucoma. During laser surgery a strong beam of light is focused on the part of the eye where the fluid drains, which makes it easier for fluid to exith the eye. Surgery can also help fluid drain from the eye and reduce the pressure. Surgery is usually only used for patients whose pressure cannot be controlled with eye drops or laser surgery.
