Description
Dun Jack Fu and four co-authors tracked in two thousand twenty-four how long eye drops keep working for glaucoma and high eye pressure. Drops that lower pressure are the usual first care. They pulled records from five eye centres in the United Kingdom for thousands of eyes that started or stepped up drop treatment.
Median time to treatment failure was about one and a half years after a first drop, and about a year after each step up. Time to a further step up ran near four years. Worse visual field loss at the start and a glaucoma diagnosis raised the risk of failure. The results help set honest hopes for drop therapy.
