Was just diagnosed with glaucoma, need support!

Good morning
Your eye pressure of 30/32 sounds very high to me. I've been fighting glaucoma for over 30 years now and goal is to keep pressure under 15.
I'm currently on 3 eye drops: Pilocarpine, Dorzolimide, and Rocklatan.
I had not heard about Durysta implant which sounds like it can reduce pressure without eye drops for months. But it is a relatively new treatment and does not reduce pressure for eveyone.
I would be very cautious about having foreign object injected into my eyes, and would recommend first getting second opinion at one of the US recognized eye research centers such as Bascom Palmer or Wills. I've been to Bascom Palmer in Miami several times over the years and they are very good at diagnosing and recommending treatment. They can also provide recommendations on glaucoma specialist graduates working in your area.
My current local optimologist did a fellowship at Bascom Palmer.
