Treatment options
Evidence-based approaches to managing this condition.
First-line treatments
Exercise prescription and weight management
Treatment options should be discussed with a qualified healthcare provider.
Prostaglandin analog eye drops
First-line topical medication that increases aqueous humor outflow through the uveoscleral pathway. Applied once daily to reduce intraocular pressure and prevent optic nerve damage.
Beta-blocker eye drops
Reduces aqueous humor production by blocking beta-adrenergic receptors in the ciliary epithelium. May be used as monotherapy or in combination with other agents.
Additional treatment options
Selective laser trabeculoplasty
Minimally invasive laser procedure that targets melanin-containing cells in the trabecular meshwork to improve aqueous outflow. Can be performed before or alongside medication therapy.
procedureAerobic exercise program
Regular moderate-intensity aerobic exercise has been shown to temporarily reduce intraocular pressure. Activities should be consistent and maintained long-term for sustained benefits.
lifestyleComprehensive glaucoma monitoring
Regular monitoring including intraocular pressure checks, optic nerve imaging, and visual field testing to track disease progression and treatment efficacy.
