@Wave I have glaucoma. They noticed it when my eye pressure was tested many years ago. They have very good equipment to test and analyze your eyes. You just need to go to a specialist. I had my eyes tested in May and there has been some additional damage which is why I have appointments for eye testing and analyzing and then I have an eye docā€™s appointment. I hope my glaucoma has not become worse.

I really hope you donā€™t get glaucoma. Can you set an alarm for when youā€™re supposed to put in the eye drops so you donā€™t forget?

I have two different eye drops to lower my eye pressure. If one has glaucoma it is important to keep your eye pressures low.

Thanks @mjseu and @LilyoftheValley

@mjseu I am seeing a specialist.

Actually Iā€™m seeing 2 specialists.

One is an ophthalmologist and the other person is an optometrist.

My eye pressure is high normal for now but there is some damage they saw from the images they took of my eyes.

Thanks again.

Iā€™m sorry @Wave. I knew nothing about glaucoma before reading your thread here.

I guess when it rains it pours, it really seems for so many of usā€¦

Sorry to hear that me and my sister have keratoconus and have had cornea transplants but my best advice would be to follow the doctors orders glaucoma is treatable infact some of my eye drops prescribed to me are used to treat glaucoma itā€™s a serious eye disease but Itā€™s treatable

Iā€™m sorry to hear about this @Wave . You donā€™t seem to be catching many breaks lately. Whatā€™s up with that ? I will certainly be praying for you though. Take care.

Thanks @SkinnyMe
I know that I canā€™t catch a break lately but overall Iā€™m grateful to be alive.

I think that itā€™s all part of aging.

On a bright side of things, I think that my new med Lamictal is finally working a bit and diminishing my depression.

So itā€™s all good.
