Get Glaucoma Treatment Online

Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions in which elevated intraocular pressure damages the optic nerve over time. The most common form, open-angle glaucoma, progresses slowly and silently, gradually narrowing peripheral vision before affecting central sight. Without treatment, the damage is permanent.

Different classes of glaucoma drops work in different ways. Prostaglandin analogues like latanoprost increase fluid drainage from the eye. Beta-blockers like timolol reduce how much fluid the eye produces. Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors like dorzolamide and alpha-2 agonists like brimonidine use separate mechanisms to achieve similar pressure-lowering effects.

Medications do not cure glaucoma, but they are highly effective at slowing or halting its progression. Consistently using prescribed eye drops to keep intraocular pressure at a target level is the cornerstone of long-term management and vision preservation.

Dosing frequency depends on the specific medication. Prostaglandin analogues are typically used once daily at bedtime. Beta-blockers and other adjunctive drops may be used once or twice daily. Your physician will tailor the regimen to your pressure goals and lifestyle.

Side effects vary by medication class. Prostaglandin analogues can cause eyelash growth and iris darkening with long-term use. Beta-blockers may affect heart rate and are used with caution in people with asthma or heart disease. Brimonidine can cause ocular allergy in some patients. Your physician will review your health history to select the safest option.
