New Laser Glaucoma Surgery

So I have glaucoma and ive had it for a while now. i use drops (cosopt iopodine and travatan)..but ill be honest I do forget to take them alot. its not like i avoid them or anything i just forget sometimes. I am really worried because I have had surgery for my other eye (right eye …the left one is still kickin) and it not only wanders and looks weird but i cant even really see out (bleb possibly blocking it but doc doesnt want to take the risk of removing it or changing the wandering thing because of possible risk of infection and more problems) of it and im worried that ill have to have surgery for this one too. I have had a laser procedure in july and now have a doc appt in two weeks to see how it is going…if it didnt drop the pressure then i will probably have to go in for surgery. I know i miss eye drops sometimes but i usually am ok with it. I am just so worried about it tho. I dont want to not be able to see out of both eyes… i have no idea how i would do things (im in college and i have tonssss of homework on a regular basis).
Also three weeks after my laser thing in july … I had a syncope episode and broke my nose… the ent also found a tumor growing in between my eyes and stuff and it was close to all the nerves and brain and it was pressing on the nerves… i had it removed and im fine now… do you think that that could possibly have lowered the pressure? (i hope it did) …my eye doc does not know about the tumor thing yet but i will be sure to mention it to him on my appt.
I remember when i woke up after the removal of it .. it was like i could see tons better and smell alot better (but it kinda went away could have been the anthesia)

I just want to know is there any quick way to lower the pressure.

ex: double the eye drop doses … vitamins… diet… exercise… letting the peeps rest… idk.

much appreciated.

(oh and sorry about telling so much i just wanted you guys to get the full story.)
k mr im an eye doc. ….why the need to say that?
I have lots of health problems and i have over 15 medication to take daily so please dont say that I do it because i dont feel like it or what have you.

I have more than my eyes to worry about daily.

I appreciate it but honestly I dont need the guilt trip.

My son is 26 yrs old and was diagnosed soon after birth with retinopathy of prematurity. The retina has detached and has been reattached via laser surgery. He can see shadows and can count fingers but not really see. Now his new opthalmologist says his eye pressure is 25, Does a blind person have the same risk of glaucoma?
