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.
Topical Glaucoma Medications
First-line pharmacological treatment using eye drops to reduce intraocular pressure through various mechanisms. Treatment is tailored based on disease severity and patient response, with regular reassessment of efficacy and tolerability.
Laser Trabeculoplasty
Laser treatment to improve the eye's natural drainage system, reducing pressure buildup. This procedure offers a medication-sparing option and can be repeated if needed, making it suitable for long-term disease management.
Additional treatment options
Structural and Functional Assessment
Regular monitoring of optic nerve damage through imaging and visual field testing to track disease progression. This helps guide treatment adjustments and timing of interventions.
monitoringCardiovascular Health Management
Maintaining healthy blood pressure and cardiovascular function supports ocular perfusion and optic nerve health. Regular cardiovascular exercise and stress management may contribute to overall treatment success.
lifestyleFiltering Surgery
Traditional surgical creation of a new drainage pathway when medications and lasers are insufficient to control progression. Reserved for moderate to advanced cases or those with intolerance to other treatments.
