Conservative Glaucoma Management: Goal and Expected Outcome
Pharmacological glaucoma management is aimed at maintaining stable control of intraocular pressure (IOP), protecting the optic nerve, and slowing disease progression. The physician’s primary objective is to select therapy that keeps IOP within an individually safe target range, while preserving the visual field and optic nerve status for as long as possible.
At the “Naujas regėjimas” Eye Clinic (Vilnius, Lithuania), glaucoma diagnosis and treatment are delivered in accordance with modern clinical protocols: comprehensive assessment, ophthalmologist consultation, an individualized treatment plan, ongoing follow‑up, and adjustment of the regimen when required.
Glaucoma Diagnosis: What Should Be Assessed Before Prescribing Drops
Glaucoma Diagnosis: What Should Be Assessed Before Prescribing Drops
For an accurate diagnosis and appropriate medication selection, it is important to evaluate not only IOP, but also the optic nerve and the eye’s aqueous outflow (drainage) system. The examination typically includes:
- intraocular pressure measurement (at different times of day if needed);
- pachymetry (corneal thickness influences tonometry accuracy);
- anterior chamber angle assessment (gonioscopy) to determine glaucoma type;
- evaluation of the optic nerve head (optic disc);
- optical coherence tomography (OCT) of the retinal nerve fiber layers / macular area (as indicated);
- perimetry (visual field testing) to detect functional changes;
- assessment of associated risk factors and overall health status.
This approach helps distinguish glaucoma from other causes of elevated IOP, determine disease stage, and select the optimal treatment strategy.
Glaucoma Treatment With Drops: How the Regimen Is Selected
Glaucoma Treatment With Drops: How the Regimen Is Selected
Medical therapy most often begins with IOP‑lowering eye drops. The physician selects the medication based on glaucoma type, baseline IOP, optic nerve status, tolerability, lifestyle, and comorbid conditions.
Different medication groups are used in clinical practice (as indicated):
- agents that improve aqueous humor outflow;
- agents that reduce aqueous production;
- combination drops when one group is insufficient;
- preservative‑free formulations for dryness, allergy, or sensitivity to preservatives.
If rapid temporary IOP reduction is required (for example, in cases of markedly elevated pressure), the physician may prescribe additional short‑term therapy and closer monitoring.

Follow‑Up in Glaucoma: Why Drops Without Monitoring Are Not Effective
Follow‑Up in Glaucoma: Why Drops Without Monitoring Are Not Effective
Glaucoma requires systematic, long‑term management. Even when IOP readings are satisfactory, treatment may need adjustment if visual fields or OCT parameters change over time. Therefore, it is important to:
- adhere strictly to the instillation schedule (including time of day);
- not discontinue drops on your own, even if “nothing bothers you”;
- attend regular IOP checks and optic nerve examinations;
- inform your physician about side effects (burning, redness, dryness, headaches, pulse changes, etc.).
At “Naujas regėjimas” in Vilnius, we follow patients dynamically: we evaluate effectiveness, tolerability, and adherence, and if necessary we modify therapy to make it more convenient and stable.
Cost of Glaucoma Diagnosis and Treatment in Vilnius: What Affects the Price
Cost of Glaucoma Diagnosis and Treatment in Vilnius: What Affects the Price
The cost depends on the scope of testing (tonometry, OCT, perimetry, etc.), clinical complexity, the need for repeat IOP measurements, and the frequency of follow‑up visits.
During the consultation, the physician explains which tests are truly necessary for you and outlines a clear pathway: diagnosis → initiation of therapy → monitoring → regimen adjustment.

I underwent laser vision correction, and now my vision is excellent. I am very grateful to all the medical staff who helped me achieve a ‘New Vision.’ Thank you!

Aleksandra Tereškova
Wearing contact lenses is inconvenient during sports. I had to take them off and put them on again. I decided to have laser correction and feel great. The entire operation was very fast and painless. The staff is simply wonderful — I did not expect such a warm welcome. Thank you for restoring my vision.
Laser vision correction
Gaidukas Aleksandra Vadimovna
I had been waiting for this operation since I was 8 years old, and as soon as I turned 18, I decided that it was time for laser vision correction. Everything went perfectly, painlessly, and at the highest level. Now my vision is 1, and before it was -8. Now I am happy! Many thanks to the „New Vision“ medical center.
