Answer
Eye drops run $30–$100/month. Ophthalmology visits every 3–6 months cost $100–$250 each. Laser surgery if needed is $1,500–$3,500 per eye. Enucleation (eye removal) is $800–$1,500. Emergency pressure spikes requiring urgent treatment add $500–$1,500 per episode. Annual costs for well-managed glaucoma are typically $800–$2,000. Pet insurance before diagnosis is extremely helpful. Our vets can help optimize your treatment plan.
