Suggest Treatment For Glaucoma And Elevated Eye Pressure
my mother is 65 years and having problem of glaucoma.first doctor prescribed lumigan 0.1, and continued for two years once a day at fix time.recently 4 month back all the test done an eye pressure was just elevated 18 right and 20 left. then doctor prescribed brinolar and alphagan-z along with lumigan.these are being used thrice a day. it is very difficult to maintain the timings so please advice should we change the doctor or is there any eyedrop which is combination of all and can be use conveniently.
Based on the medications, your mother is suffering from open angle glaucoma. There are no such combination as whole. You may ask for Laser trabeculoplasty, if your mother is fit for surgery. You may go for second opinion with other doctor, if the doctor says 'no'.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Pradeepraj, General & Family Physician
