Depending on the kind of glaucoma you have, different treatment options are possible.

Glaucoma can be treated by oral and topical medications. A majority of glaucoma cases can be managed with one or more drugs. But some people may require surgery to reduce their eye pressure further to a not dangerous level by improving the outflow or drainage of fluids.

There is a laser procedure known as selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) which works for lowering internal eye pressure. This surgery might be considered as a chief treatment, especially for people who find it hard to comply with the strict, regular regimen needed for administering eye drops.

A different procedure called a trabeculectomy is needed for advanced glaucoma. It works by creating a drainage area. Another common option is a shunt, which is a device that a surgeon puts in your eye to improve fluid drainage.
