If you read the wikipedia article on glaucoma, you'll see this.



But you can stop further vision loss with treatment. If it's associated with high intra-occular pressure, the usual treatment is eyedrops. And if that does not help, only then surgery. Most competent specialists should be able to treat it. You don't need any especially "good" doctor, if the treatment is eyedrops.

What you need to do schedule another appointment quickly and this time, go with him, and hear what the doctor says. Haven't heard of ISEC. Normally I go to USMC.

My mother has high intra-occular pressure, and is on eye drops to reduce the pressure. She visits the doctor every few months. The monitoring shows that the pressure is going down with the medication. Unfortunately, one time, the eye drops ran out. Instead of buying more, she waited for the next appointment. Which was over 2 months away. I only found out when we were standing in front of the doctor. The doctor was wondering why the pressure had increased again. We should have bought the eye drops at a pharmacy, instead of going 2 months plus without.
