Have Glaucoma, Vision In One Eye. Which Medication Is Recommended?

My daughter, 41, is having serious problems at present due to glaucoma since age 6. She presently only has vision in one eye and that one is giving her problems. She has no benefits and just started a part-time job. The doctor she is seeing is trying different meds to find ones she can tolerate. Today's prescriptions total $300. That's just today's cost. Doesn't count the ones she bought last week and couldn't use. Not to mention the cost of the appointments. Is there an organization that can help her financially?
