Treatment methods

• The treatment of this disease depends on the stage at which the patient comes to the doctor.
• At the early stages of the disease, first priority treatment is laser treatment. Most patients can be treated with a laser. With the help of a laser machine, a thin hole is made inside the iris. This acts as alternative route of drainage in case of pupil blockage and prevents the development of the acute congestive stage. In other words, with this treatment at an early stage glaucoma can disappear almost permanently.
• But if the severity of the disease has increased, the chances of benefiting from the laser are less. In this case, surgery is necessary. The vision may not be recovered completely with surgery, but timely surgery can prevent blindness.
• If there are some operative risks or if it is necessary to postpone the operation due to some other illness, then the treatment with medicines can also be considered.
