Will see surgeon in the next few days to discuss possible surgery,

Not sure if I should have it. A year ago my pressures were normal @ 18/19. 6 months later they were mid 20's.

My optic nerve shows to be in good shape.

My eye doctor has tried variety of different eye drops, including the use of acetazolamide oral medication. My pressures remain in the low 20's.

My right eye is considered lazy eye and I don't see very well out of it, but my left eye is 20/40 with no issues.

Age 78 male.

would appreciate any replies.
