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.
Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS)
Collection of micro-incisional procedures including iStent or Hydrus implants that bypass the trabecular meshwork to enhance aqueous outflow. Lower complication profile compared to traditional filtering surgery.
Additional treatment options
Beta-Blocker Eye Drops
Topical beta-blocker medications reduce aqueous humor production by the ciliary body, lowering intraocular pressure. These are established second-line agents often used in combination therapy.
medicationargon laser trabeculoplasty
Laser application to the trabecular meshwork to improve outflow facility through thermal coagulation and subsequent remodeling of the drainage angle structures.
procedureMarijuana-Based Therapies (Cannabinoid)
Cannabinoids have demonstrated modest intraocular pressure-lowering effects through cannabinoid receptor activation. Use remains controversial and is generally not recommended as primary therapy.
complementaryVisual Field Progression Analysis
Serial automated perimetry testing to detect and quantify visual field loss progression. Critical for adjusting treatment intensity and documenting disease stability or advancement.
