I recommend getting another opinion, too. I was diagnosed with glaucoma 5 years ago. I have used eye drops to bring down numbers, highest being 26. I also underwent MIGS, the least invasive treatment I understand. That helped some.

I recently developed some allergic reactions to Timolol (very unusual my opthomologist said) and to brimonidine ( swelling and pinkness around one eye, a lot of itching). It took some time to figure out the culprits. I first thought I was allergic to the preservatives in the eye drops, but that is not the case. I currently use dorzolamide and latanaprost. I get eye pressure checked about every 3 months for this new combination of eye drops.
