Some of them sting and they all screw up your vision for a few minutes.

I'm guessing you've got the ordinary, garden variety wide angle glaucoma. It can be controlled with the eye drops but there is no permanent cure.

The best news is that marijuana is a last ditch treatment for glaucoma, extremely effective and fun, too. You'll have to move to a sensible state to get it, small sacrifice.
