What's this?

Been going through treatment for 5 or 6 years...now

...had cataract surgery (unrelated) on both eyes a few years ago. During related followup wrt that my Dr. noticed my pressure slowly rising. Began with the drops at bedtime for a few months until he suggested that laser was an option that could buy me a few years without drops. After that procedure I got almost 5 years before my pressures began to climb once again. Had the procedure done again about a year ago and still use one drop at bedtime , but my pressures are staying around the 15 level on this regimen , with visits every 6 mo. now.
