Hello

I have just been diagnosed with Glaucoma in it's early stages so hopefully i have plenty more years of wonderful eye sight left.

I have been prescribed some glasses so hopefully they will help out a lot. And the optometrist said i have to have a check up every 6-12 months.

So here's my questions is there any mums out in eb land with Glaucoma?

How are you dealing with it?

What effects has it had on your daily life?

Thanks for reading I am just hopping someone can help me out here as i am scared sh*tless and really don't want to loose my eye sight at a young age (well i am 24 bu still)

Yes just glasses at them moment as i am in the very very early stages of it but i have to go back in 6 months for another check up.
I was also diagnosed with long sighted vision at the same time.

The optometrist also checked my eye pressure (first time i have had that done) and it was ok.

So when i go pick up my glasses (because they are special ones i have to wait a wk for them) i will ask about the eye drops.

As i really have no idea about Glaucoma i was kind of put on the spot and so i trusted my optometrist wen she said i only need glasses for now.
