The treating eye surgeon/ glaucoma specialist depending on the stage of your glaucoma, its progression, control with medications, systemic conditions, co morbidities etc. Best would be to ask your doctor or seek another opinion with all your reports.

Is your glaucoma under control with dorzox t? Perimetry? Oct? If its under control with medication, best is to continue medicines. However, you cannot decide whether to go ahead with surgery or not without your iop, clinical findings and other investigations. Consult an ophthalmologist for the same.
