Glaucoma is due to increase in intraocular pressure. In Homoeopathy we never use this control approach with drops. If you want a cure we need to see why it has occurred to you. As per my thought process if you are a right handed person you might be having a problem with your children or siblings which might have triggered this process. Anyhow you need to go for a consultation to make a diagnosis and curative treatment.
