Glaucoma, a blinding disease that affects millions in the United States, is treatable. Multiple clinical trials involving thousands of patients have repeatedly shown that lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) saves vision in those with glaucoma. In fact, if IOP in those with glaucoma is lowered sufficiently, vision loss dramatically slows—nearly stopping. IOP is a function of the balance of fluid (aqueous humor) entering and leaving the eye. Although there are very good medications that lower IOP… Expand
