Are there any eye drops for glaucoma treatment
Eye drops are generally available for all kind of eye problems. Are eye drops also available for glaucoma treatment? I am male in age of 40 diagnosed with this condition recently. I am also a patient of diabetes and kidney stones. Eye drops would be easier option for me if they really work for glaucoma.

Glaucoma is not one of those diseases, which can be cured (with any available method of treatment), however its progression may be slowed down or even stopped. In other words, the damage which has already been caused to the eyes can not be reversed, but medicines/surgery can prevent any further damage to the eyes. So, if you are diagnosed with glaucoma, then it is must to strictly adhere to your treatment whatever prescribed by your Doctor, to prevent any further damage to your eyes.
Next Steps
Strict compliance and adherence to the treatment prescribed.
Health Tips
Never ever miss the medications of Glaucoma.
Always go for eye-check up at regular intervals whatever advised by the Doctor.
