7 types of drugs are indicated for treatment of glaucoma which either act by reducing the aqueous humor production or increasing its outflow or both.

Glaucoma is a group of eye disorders which result in abnormal raise of intraocular pressure resulting in optic nerve damage and progressive vision loss. The main goal of drug treatment in this condition is to reduce the intraocular pressure by controlling aqueous humor levels in the eye.
