- Glaucoma Eye Drops: These are used to lower a patient’s eye pressure. Examples of some common glaucoma eye drops are:
- Timoptic (timolol)
- Alphagan P (Brimonidine tartrate)
- Xalatan (Latanoprost)
- Combigan (Brimonidine tartrate/timolol)
- Lumigan (Bimatoprost)
- Trusopt (Dorzolamide)
- Travatan (Travoprost)
- Laser Iridotomy: A laser is used to create a small hole in the iris (colored part of the eye) to improve drainage of eye fluid.
- Laser Trabeculoplasty:
- ALT – Argon laser trabeculoplasty
- SLT – Selective laser trabeculoplasty
These lasers target the drain pipes of the eye to help them work better.
- Glaucoma Surgery: Sometimes surgery is needed to lower the eye pressure of the eye.
