How can I help my mother? She is 67 years old and suffers from glaucoma. It took me a lot of time to persuade her to even go to the doctor (I am not certain why she has such a bad opinion on doctors) and now the medication she got, Timoptic is not helping with her condition. What I am supposed to do now?
Hmm, it is always hard to deal with people that do not like doctors and need one. As for Timoptic, it truly is a medication that should help her in this situation. This means that it is effective with the open—angle glaucoma and increased eye pressure. I am not sure when its effect is supposed to be felt, but if it really does not work, well, that will be a problem…
