Just eye drops?
Well, no, these are not just eye drops. Because eye drops for glaucoma must be given in a very precise, consistent dosage, most products are sold in a special container. Your doctor will tell you how to use your medication properly. It also need to be emphasized that the successful treatment of glaucoma with eye drops requires consistency. By that we mean, if the directions say one drop, once a day, that means one drop, no more and no less, once a day, every day. A skipped day or weekend, or accidentally running out of medication can play havoc with the treatment of this condition. The nature of glaucoma medication is such that it is also important to inform any other doctors you are seeing that you are taking medication for glaucoma. It’s also unwise to use any other eye medications or over the counter eyewashes without your doctor’s approval.
