Answer 2

The treatment for glaucoma depends upon the nature and severity of each case. In general, glaucoma cannot be cured, but it can be controlled. Eye drops, pills, laser procedures, and surgical operations are used to prevent or slow further damage from occurring. With any type of glaucoma, regular eye examinations are very important to detect progression and to prevent vision loss. Because glaucoma can worsen without your being aware of it, your treatment will likely need to be changed over time to achieve a lower "target eye pressure

Laser Surgery
Laser surgery is also effective for glaucoma treatment. Trabeculoplasty is laser treatment to enhance the eye drain age function to control eye pressure within the eye when treating open-angle glaucoma. Iridotomy is laser treatment to create tiny holes in the iris to improve the flow of eye fluid to the drain when treating narrow angle glaucoma

Operative Surgery
When operative surgery is needed to treat glaucoma, your ophthalmologist will use a microscope and specialized instruments to create a new bypass drainage channel for the eye fluid to leave the eye. The new channel helps to lower the eye pressure. Surgery will be recommended only if your ophthalmologist feels the benefit of a lower eye pressure achieved with an operation outweighs possible complications and/or further progression of optic nerve damage.

Glaucoma Treatment
The best way to prevent vision loss from glaucoma is early diagnosis and treatment. See your eyecare practitioner at least every two years for a complete examination, including an IOP check. People at high risk for glaucoma due to high intraocular pressures, family history, ethnic background, age or optic nerve appearance may need more frequent visits to the eye doctor.

A test called a visual field may be performed on glaucoma suspects to detect peripheral vision loss. It involves staring straight ahead into a machine and clicking a button when you notice a blinking light in your peripheral vision. The visual field test may be repeated at regular intervals for your doctor to determine the extent of vision loss.

Glaucoma treatment (for any form) entails decreasing aqueous humor production, increasing fluid drainage or a combination of the two. These treatments will not restore any vision already lost to glaucoma.

Generally the first stage of glaucoma treatment is beta-blocker eyedrops, which will lower fluid production in the eye. These may not be used in people with heart conditions, because they can affect heart or lung function. There are other pressure-lowering drops besides beta-blockers that are known as alpha-2 agonists and prostaglandin analogs. Many of the drugs used for glaucoma interact with common medications. Patients should discuss these issues with both the family physician and the eyecare practitioner.

Most cases of glaucoma can be controlled with a single drug or drug combinations, but some patients may require or select surgery. About 70% of patients need new or extra medications within two years after the start of drug treatment. That's compared with 56% of those who choose laser surgery.

During a type of glaucoma surgery called trabeculoplasty, the doctor uses a laser to create tiny holes where the cornea and iris meet, to increase aqueous humor drainage. Another procedure called trabeculectomy creates an artificial drainage area; it's used in cases of advanced glaucoma where there is optic nerve damage and the IOP continues to soar. A third option is a drainage device, which the surgeon implants in your eye to improve fluid drainage

Answer 4

i don't think there is a cure for glaucoma. but i know there are eye medicines classified as mydriatics and miotics used for glaucoma depending on what type the person have - either open-angle or closed-angle glaucoma.

Answer 5

At the moment they are working on a cure,I,m sure that there will be one in the near future,
