Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma Treatment

Self-Care at Home

If your ophthalmologist prescribes medicines (see Medical Treatment and Medications) to help in lowering the pressure inside your eye, properly applying the medication and complying with your eye doctor’s instructions are very important. Not doing so could result in an additional increase in intraocular pressure that can further affect the optic nerve and cause permanent vision loss.
