Brief Answer:
Retina is not mentioned in the reports dear

Detailed Answer:
Hey thanks for the question. I went through the entire report and have the following conclusions :
- the pressures of the eye have not been mentioned
- the visual field test is not reliable for the right eye
- left eye does show a mild visual field defect
- the retinal nerve fibre layer analysis is nomal
- the retina details and the nerve details as seen by the doctor has not been mentioned
Keeping in lieu of all of the above I advise you to provide the above information so I may guide you better.
The treatment as prescribed by your doctor is of glaucome sir and if he / she has prescribed it then you have to take it and you should go for follow ups also as glaucome will require long therapy and frequent examinations
Hope it helps
Regards
