    What treatment are you looking for?

    Your ophthalmologist/optometrist has told you that you have the "very early signs of glaucoma" and has said for you to return to be rechecked in 6 months time.

    The treatments for gaucoma include eye drops, laser treatment, and surgery. Your specialist, obviously, doesn't think that there's any need for intervention at this stage.
