Hello dear 1. First line of management of glaucoma is medicines. Surgery is advised when medicines stop working meaning with medicines iop still remains high 2. Your doctor has done all relevent tests. 3. He must have advised you some medicines. Take tose medicines religiously and keep following your doctor 4. Surgery is last resort when medicines fail.
