I have GLAUCOMA and CATARACT in my eyes from past 3 years. CATARACT is very minor but in center of my both eyes that troubles me to see. Two days later I have my operation for CATARACT. But due to GLAUCOMA this will not help me much. Pressure of my eyes is14. 6 . I regularly use EVERFRESH drop 4 times a day and LUPITROS drop every night before sleep. Please suggest me something for this GLAUCOMA.

Glaucoma leads to irreversible damage of the optic nerve. So the vision that is lost to glaucoma cannot be reverted. The drops dat you use every night are meant to reduce further damage. So you have to use them religiously. The cataract operation may help in restoring part of your vision.
