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 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.
To understand your best laser options we provide either a tele-consultation or in-house assessment that is no cost to the participant. Provided by a skilled refractive counsellor from ParkView Day Surgery, our affiliated day surgery facility, 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.
Not all people are suitable for laser surgery and a thorough examination with an Ophthalmologist is necessary to determine suitability, however, there are some general guidelines and questions which can provide an initial indication of suitability. Take the suitability test and take your first step to a clearer brighter future.
We understand that having eye laser surgery is an important decision and that you may have questions about the procedure, your immediate recovery and what you can expect in the days, weeks and months after surgery. We have answered as many as we can here.
