Glaucoma Management Guide

If you're facing a glaucoma diagnosis, you're not alone

You've heard "intraocular pressure" and numbers like "25 mmHg" but no one has explained what that actually means for your dog's daily life or comfort.
You're managing multiple eye drops with different schedules for different eyes, and you're terrified of missing a dose or getting the timing wrong.
You don't know if redness, squinting, or a cloudy eye means you need to rush to the emergency vet or if it can wait until morning.
Your vet mentioned surgery (enucleation or drainage implants) alongside long-term medication, and you're not sure which path is right or how to even think about that decision.
You're seeing conflicting advice online about glaucoma being "manageable" versus "inevitably leading to blindness," and you don't know what to believe.
You're watching your dog closely for signs of pain but you're not confident you'd recognise them, and the guilt of potentially missing something is overwhelming.

What's inside: Glaucoma Management Guide

This guide walks you through glaucoma step by step, from understanding what the diagnosis means to managing medication routines, recognising emergencies, and making informed decisions about long-term treatment. Written in clear, owner-level language without the clinical jargon.

Understanding what glaucoma actually is

Learn what "intraocular pressure" means in practical terms, how glaucoma affects your dog's eye, and what the progression typically looks like—so you're not guessing or panicking about every change.

Making sense of pressure numbers and vet visits

Understand what pressure readings mean, what's considered normal vs emergency, and how to track changes over time so you can have informed conversations with your vet.

Managing medications without overwhelm

Get clear guidance on organising eye drop schedules, handling different medications for different eyes, and knowing what to do if you miss a dose or aren't sure if the drop went in properly.

Recognising true emergencies vs normal variations

Know the specific warning signs that mean "call the vet now" versus changes that can wait, so you're not second-guessing yourself at 2am or rushing to emergency unnecessarily.

Navigating treatment decisions: medication, surgery, or both

Understand the options (long-term drops, enucleation, drainage implants) in plain language, including what each path involves, realistic expectations, and how to think through the decision for your specific situation.

Day-to-day life and quality of life with glaucoma

Learn how to monitor your dog's comfort, adapt routines if vision changes, and recognise when glaucoma is being managed well versus when adjustments are needed.

After working through this guide, you'll be able to:

Explain what your dog's pressure readings mean and why they matter, in language you can share with family or friends without stumbling.
Confidently manage medication schedules, including multiple drops and different eyes, without constant worry about getting it wrong.
Recognise the clear signs of a glaucoma emergency so you know when to call the vet immediately versus when monitoring at home is appropriate.
Track your dog's pressure trends and comfort level over time, so you can spot patterns and communicate them clearly to your vet.
Understand your treatment options—medication alone, surgery, or combination approaches—and make decisions that fit your dog's situation and your capacity.
Monitor your dog's quality of life day to day, not just during vet visits, so you know if the current plan is working or if something needs to change.
Feel less alone and more grounded when managing a condition that often feels unpredictable and frightening.

This guide is for you if:

You've just heard the word "glaucoma" and you're still trying to process what that means for your dog's future.
You're managing glaucoma medications and feeling overwhelmed by the schedule, the drops, and the fear of missing something important.
You're trying to decide between long-term medication management and surgical options, and you need clear information to think it through.
You've been told your dog's glaucoma is "controlled" but you're not sure what you should be watching for or when to worry.
You want one clear, structured resource instead of piecing together fragmented advice from Google, forums, and rushed vet appointments.

"How do I know if this is an emergency or if it can wait until morning?"
"How strict do I need to be with timing eye drops? What happens if I'm an hour late or miss one dose?"
"What should I watch for between pressure checks at the vet?"
"What happens if one eye is removed—how do we protect and manage the remaining eye?"
"My dog's pressure was 'controlled' last week but now they're squinting again—what does that mean?"

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a replacement for my vet?

No. This guide sits alongside your vet care, not instead of it. Think of it as the owner's manual your vet doesn't have time to write—helping you understand their recommendations, manage care between appointments, and know what questions to ask next. Always follow your vet's specific treatment plan for your dog.

What if my dog's glaucoma is more complicated than what's described?

Glaucoma shows up differently in every dog—different causes, different pressures, different responses to treatment. This guide doesn't try to be a strict protocol; instead, it gives you a framework for understanding what's happening, managing the day-to-day, and making informed decisions alongside your vet, no matter how complex your situation is.

Can I share this with my family or partner?

Yes. You're welcome to share the guide within your household or close support circle—anyone who's helping you care for your dog. This isn't for resale or public distribution, but sharing it with the people who need to be on the same page is absolutely fine.

How will I receive the guide?

You'll get instant access to download the PDF as soon as you purchase. You can read it on any device (phone, tablet, computer) and print it if you prefer paper. It's yours to keep and reference as often as you need.

What if it doesn't help?

If this guide doesn't give you more clarity and confidence in managing your dog's glaucoma, I'll refund your purchase within 30 days—no questions asked. You have nothing to lose.

Get calm, clear guidance for glaucoma management

Glaucoma is frightening, especially when you're trying to interpret pressure numbers, manage medications, and make treatment decisions without clear guidance. You don't have to piece this together alone from fragmented online advice and rushed vet appointments.
