Treatments include medicated eye drops to relieve pressure and laser surgery, which is not invasive and usually done at the ophthalmologist’s office or an outpatient facility. If eye drops and laser treatments aren’t doing the trick, or you can’t handle the side effects from medications, then your ophthalmologist may recommend conventional surgery to create a new way for fluid to leave the eye.",

People who are 65 and older should get an eye exam every one to two years.
