If you have glaucoma, you are probably using eye drop medications to lower your eye pressure. High eye pressure damages the optic nerve and once the optic nerve is damaged it takes your sight away. Nerve damage from glaucoma is permanent. The goal of glaucoma treatment is to lower the eye pressure and save your sight.
There are many reasons that people don’t take their medications as regularly as they should, and they don’t always tell their doctor, but it is very important that you use your glaucoma medications faithfully. There are many solutions available to help you overcome whatever problems keep you from taking good care of your sight.
