Newly diagnosed open-angle glaucoma: tips for drop adherence and monitoring.

[Aaron_S]

I was recently diagnosed with open-angle glaucoma during a routine eye exam, and my ophthalmologist has prescribed daily eye drops to lower the pressure. I'm struggling to remember to use them consistently and am worried about the long-term implications for my vision. For others managing glaucoma, what strategies helped you adhere to the drop schedule, and how do you track your intraocular pressure between appointments? Have you explored additional treatments like selective laser trabeculoplasty, and if so, what was your experience? What lifestyle adjustments, if any, have you made regarding exercise or diet, and how often do you get visual field tests to monitor for progression?
