Glaucoma – Medical Therapy

Medical therapy consists of eye drops, and in some cases tablets.

Eye drops need to be used daily, or in some cases twice per day, and therapy is usually ongoing for the rest of your life.

There are multiple different types of eye drops used to treat glaucoma.

If you and your consulting eye doctor decide this is the best option for you, you will work together to find the right eye drop regime.

For many patients, their glaucoma can be controlled with just one eye drop a day.

Complimentary laser assessment

To understand your best laser options we provide either a tele-consultation or in-house assessment complimentary. Provided by a skilled refractive counsellor, during this appointment we are able to refine what your personal eye solution is, and provide you an opportunity to ask any questions you may have.
