ABSOLUTELY see an ophthamologist. Glaucoma is nothing to ignore. It is essentially increased pressure in the eye caused by obstruction of the outflow of this stuff called aqueous humor. There are 2 types...closed-angle and open-angle. If untreated, either type can lead to blindness, perhaps in 2-5 days, depending on the severity. Other sypmtoms are nausea and vomiting, loss of peripheral vision, halos around lights, headaches, blurred vision, and dull pain in the eye.
Glaucoma is usually treated with eye drops if it is caught early enough and no other intervention is needed, such as surgery.
PELASE see your Dr. and get this seen about. No other treatment will do. There are no OTC meds for this and nothing at home will do. And your sight is something you cannot get back once it's gone!
Good luck with it....

If glaucoma is detected in the early stages, it is usually treated by eye drops.But when it is advanced both laser and conventional surgery are used to treat glaucoma depending on the type of glaucoma .More details and information at http://eye-care.in/glaucoma.html

Ask your opthamologist. There are pills or drops that will keep it under control.
