For patients not covered by health insurance, glaucoma diagnosis typically costs $50-$200 or more, depending on the doctor and tests performed. And treatment typically costs about $12-$90 per month -- or $150-$1,080 or more per year -- for medication, usually in the form of eye drops.
Most treatments for glaucoma are designed to lower and/or control intraocular pressure (IOP), which can damage the optic nerve that transmits visual information to the brain. Glaucoma eye drops often are the first choice over glaucoma surgery and can be very effective at controlling IOP to prevent eye damage. If you are a good candidate for glaucoma eye drops, you may be prescribed more than one type to achieve the best IOP control.
