Morning all,
I haven't talked about this before on PT because it has been too depressing for me however... I now have great news. I have glaucoma and I was taking pills, drops and had laser eye surgery several years ago and still my pressue was much too high. Normal pressure is between 10 and 20. Anything over 20 really needs to be checked every six months. Well mine was 32 in the left eye. That is really bad. I had the surgery on 11.15 and the pressure in the left eye is down to 22 and the right is 26. I will have my right eye done sometime in March. I just turned 48 this month and I am much too young to go blind. I still have to take my eye drops now three times a day but that is a small price to pay for vision. I hope everyone over 40 gets their eyes checked. This horrible disease gives no warning. And any vision lost cannot be replaced. A yearly exam for everyone over 40 is a must. I feel blessed to live in a time where we do have this laser, it will cost me a fortune but it's better then losing my sight.
