How To Treat Low Eye Pressure Causing Foggy Vision And Double Lines?

I ve had glaucoma for 25-plus years and have had several surgeries. I ve lost part of the vision in my right eye and now my left eye s pressure is too low. It causes foggy vision and double lines of print. Any suggestions for treatment of low eye pressure? P.S. I ve tried many medicines for high eye pressure (glaucoma) over the years and I m currently using Zioptan in my right eye only. This med. was chosen due to the lack of preservatives (I m very sensitive). I ve also had several sinus surgeries and most of the honey comb material in the sinuses is removed. Help, please. Yes, I am seeing a specialist who is concerned about doing anything to raise the pressure in my low-pressure eye. My eye sight is getting worse. Any ideas?

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having glaucoma for last 25 years and on treatment with zioptan for right eye in which intraocular pressure is high.
Glaucoma requires treatment for lifelong by the use of antiglaucoma drugs. The other options are laser treatment and surgical treatment.
Do consult your doctor regarding this and he will be guiding you regarding the next mode of treatment accordingly.

Thank you

Your glaucoma effected is to betreatedas per advice and your response of eye. the other eye can be as normotensive or low pressure glaucoma. In this case pressure will be low but other effect of field changes optic atrophy will take place as usual. In this case lasser trabeculectomyis the only option.
