What's this?

Have a relative that is. The medication is just eye drops once per day. And

as you mentioned, more frequent exams to monitor your pressure. Will also do the occasional "field of view" test. Eye drops have to be kept in the refrigerator for the most part, but I think they can last at room temperature for a week or so, like if you're travelling.
