I have a family history of glaucoma. I really hate anyone/anything coming near my eyes, so drops were not a reasonable option. I put complete faith in Dr Mabel Cheng. She suggested and performed laser surgery. Really quick and painless...worst part was the numbing drops.

There is more than one type of glaucoma. You should definitely check with your eye Dr regarding this prescription. Your eye Dr and Primary care Dr may be able to consult and give you a prescription acceptable to both. Good luck.
