Glaucoma is a serious condition that damages the optic nerve and can lead to vision loss. Anti-glaucoma drugs work by reducing intraocular pressure to prevent further damage. Some common types include prostaglandin analogs, beta-blockers, alpha agonists, and carbonic anhydrase inhibitors. Each type has its own mechanism of action and potential side effects. It’s important for patients to work closely with their eye care professionals to find the most suitable treatment.
