Hello
It seems from the history that you are having on glaucoma and with use of anti glaucoma medications your pressure is 19-20. This pressure is still on the higher side and it requires use of one more antiglaucoma drug.
Glaucoma can be definitely controlled by use of medications. The other options of treatment are laser treatment and surgery in the form of trabeculectomy.
Since you are also having uveitis along with glaucoma you need to attend regular follow up with your doctor.
Thank you
