Was just diagnosed with glaucoma, need support!

I had exactly that years ago. My glaucoma specialist did laser surgery to poke a hole in the top part of my iris. Sorry, I don’t know the correct terminology and this is the best way I can describe it. As I understand it, the hole is like an “overflow” to prevent pressure from building. I’ve never had a problem with it. Pressure is always normal.

Oops, I read your post wrong. I have ACUTE angle glaucoma, not OPEN angle. I don’t know what the difference is, but I guess there is one since I don’t remember my doc mentioning an eye drop treatment.
