Glaucoma..

[Scrumpy]

Today I had a regular eye check up..
The optician said that my eyesight hadn't altered and I wouldn't need any new glasses.. As a mattered of fact she said that my eyes were very healthy..
 However.. she did say that she would like a specialist to check them out concerning Glaucoma..
She didn't appear (overly) worried and was surprised that the tests they carried out should show any problems..

She is going to write to my doctor and ask that an appointment be arranged for me.
 The receptionist .. who I was chatting to, said she had to see a specialist about the same problem and nothing was found..
 Does anyone on here have or has any experience concerning glaucoma please.. ?

I'm being investigated for one type. Mine isn't pressure in the eyrball it's an imbalance in nerve density from one side of the eye to the other. I was told there may be a deterioration or it may have always been that way. It was picked up six months ago and I have a repeat exam next week I think when they'll see if there has been a change.

If it is deteriorating there is some sort of treatment which will make my prescription list even longer.

Thank you for your reply Klondike..

The optician did mention (nerve).. 
I have an eye test every year and it has never shown anything before..
It's good to know that treatment can be given should there be any problems...
I don't like to Google things like this.. Sometimes information we read on Google can worry the life out of you..

I have no experience myself of Glaucoma  (touch wood),  but I just wanted to wish you both best of luck with your next tests.

Try not to worry,  it might be nowhere as bad as you fear.

My Dad had Glaucoma so as it can be hereditary I've always been tested for it.  Dad used drops for many years.

Thank you... 
Just knowing there is medication that can be used makes it easier to cope with..
