Unfortunately, glaucoma rarely has any symptoms or index until advanced stages are reached. Patients must be examined by an ophthalmologist before a diagnosis can be made. The glaucoma procedures are various as the types of glaucoma: glaucoma filtration procedure, glaucoma drainage device, laser peripheral iridotomy, argon laser trbeculoplasty and ophotocoagulation. I am sorry for you grandma I can only tell you some types of glaucoma procedures but for details you have to talk with her ophthalmologist.
