Laser trabeculoplasty will not cure glaucoma. In most cases it brings the eye pressure back under control by improving drainage of fluid from the eye. Once the optic nerve has been damaged, it cannot be repaired. In Homoeopathic system there are quite good number of remedies, one of these is Osmium is a metal of the Platinum group. Which has reduced IOP.
