Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM

You are getting right treatment.Immediately,you need antibiotic drops for infection and vigamox eye drop is rightly given. It has wide range of coverage.
If you are allergic to certain drugs then different combinations can be tried.
Target of intraocular pressure is around 10-13 mmHg.Prostaglandin are the first choice drugs.
If pressure is not optimally controlled by topical drops the surgery is the last option.Trabeculectomy is done for relieving pressure.
Get well soon.

Take Care
