it do happen if iot is raised then it is to be treated by tablet drop or surgery like trabeculectomy.complete followup is to be done and iot measured and if raised then treatment is to be continued. it willnot be corrected with three days treatment. type of glaucoma is to be diagnosed there is also normotensive glaucoma. fundus examination is to be done and cup disc ratio is to be noted. fieldfollowupand treatment is tobe done till iot is raised. tracing is to be done and scotoma is to be recorded. if not controlled then there will be tunel vision since peripheral field is restricted
