The most important part of any glaucoma treatment is you.
Glaucoma is the leading cause of preventable blindness. Because it doesn't have any obvious symptoms in the early stages, regular eye exams are critically important. Your doctor has tools to help catch the early warning signs before any permanent damage is done, medications to help lower your eye pressure, and surgical options.
For any treatment to work, however, you have to do your part. Visit your doctor regularly and discuss any questions or concerns, take your medicine as directed, and learn as much as you can about managing your condition.
You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch, or call 1-800-FDA-1088.
