Suggest Treatment For Glaucoma

MY NAME IS CHARLES AND I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS EYE SURGERIES FOR GLAUCOMA. I WAS HIT IN THE EYE WITH A FOOTBALL ON THE FOURTH OF JULY AND IT STARTED A LONG CHAIN OF EVENTS. I AM BLIND IN THAT EYE NOT BECAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT BUT BECAUSE OF UNCONTROLLED GLAUCOMA. THE LAST DR I HAVE SEEN SD I HAVE A BAD BACTERIAL INFECTION IN MY EYE AND HE RECOMMENDS SURGERY TO PUT ANTIBIOTICS RIGHT IN THE EYE BUT ALSO SD IT MAY BE BETTER TO REMOVE THE EYE ALL TOGETHER AS THE INFECTION MAY RETURN. THE EYE IS WHAT IS DESCRIBED AS DEAD AND PAINFUL. DO YOU KNOW OF ANY ANTIBIOTICS THAT CAN ENTER THE INNER MOST STRUCTURE OF THE EYE SO I CAN AVOID ALL THIS PAIN AND SURGERY? I HAVE BEEN TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM THREE TIMES IN ONE MONTH FOR PAIN IT'S JUST THAT BAD.
