Unfortunately no information is given, I decided to look further. Thankfully I had some idea as to what to avoid. Glaucoma|University of Maryland medical Centre. edu/health/medical/reports/articles/glaucoma

There have been several quite long and interesting (I hope!) threads on glaucoma right here. Use the search box at top right. E.g.

Hi, My husband had a quick and aggressive form of glaucoma. They gave him laser surgery (it took about an hour) to burn holes in the back of his eyes. He is fine now and gets checked once a year. His mum and sister have and had glaucoma and they just put drops in their eyes to keep the pressures down. They also just get checked now once a year. Hope this helps.
