Ocular hypertension is treated with either medications (eye drops), surgery, or laser. Treatment, by lowering the intraocular pressure, may help decrease the risk of vision loss and damage to the eye from glaucoma. Treatment options include pressure-lowering 'antiglaucomatous' eye drops, surgery, and/or laser eye surgery. [4]
Although a temporary solution, surgical ventilation tube placement in the ear drum has also proven to be an effective treatment option.
