The thing I noticed about the eye drops is that even if u use eye drops 3 times a day for say 60 days the Most reduction I would get would be 6 points of pressure…so my right eye had a pressure of 27 and with the drops it went down to 21..which for me is good..now the left eye is a different story…it had a pressure of 42..and after 2 months of drops 3 times a day , pressure went down to 36..but vision still ok, just a tiny bit blurry due to the high pressure…Doctor performed a trabeculectamy ( putting a stent in the eye), IOP immediately drops to 9 to 10, and here’s the kicker , the trabeculectamy caused to to go 80% blind and doc says “ oh, well these things happen”….now I am depressed…
Loosing vision loss? Get your vision checked. Go to an ophthalmologist not an optometrist. Follow the instructions from the doctor. Take your prescribed medication. Get a second opinion when needed. Live a healthy lifestyle if possible. That helps prevent all illnesses.

Yes eye drop medications can only do so much. I am on 4 different 4 eye drop medications and a pill to maintain my eye pressure.
