Suggest Treatment Glaucoma In Eyes

Hello. Today, my 29 year old daughter went to the eye doctor concerning a possible cyst in her upper inner eyelid. It was just a clogged pore inside the eyelid but the doctor said that she had stage 1 (of 10) glaucoma due to a spinal fluid leak. He wants her to get a CAT scan and MRI. There are various types on glaucoma mentioned online. What sort of glaucoma is this, how is it treated and can it be cured? Thank you.
