Suggest Treatment For Glaucoma

I have the early signs of glaucoma but cannot use drops as I have a phobia about my face being touched. I cannot use eye drops. I had to do them for my mother & frequently gagged or vomited when I did it I am now terrified of getting glaucoma & have the early signs of it

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello my friend
Thanks for your question on HCM

My answer could be more specific if you could write what type of glaucoma you have with open or close angel.
But you should understand the irreversible nature of the disease and that you feel involved in issues around taking drops.I wanna assure you that nothing will hepend to your face using eye drops. And you have to do regular monitoring via ophthalmology clinics.
YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE MEDICATIONS is for your own good.Let another family member or a friend put to you the eye drops
The importance of the person's role in their own treatment – for example, the ongoing regular application of eye drops to preserve sight.

Hope this information is helpful
Best regards
