Last time I went to the eye doctor they had me come back for extensive testing for glaucoma. I was freaked out. Thankfully i don't have it. The doctor said that if I had glaucoma it is easily treated. The important thing is getting treatment.

Hi my name is Dean. I am 29 and was diagnosed with macular degeneration, glaucoma and cataracts 7 years ago so I was 22. I got it because I was on immuno steroids (PREDNISONE) AND IT causes all those issues. What was your pressu e the last time?. Basically they will get you a good eye drop to help the pressure and if your having headaches. What are your symptoms? When do you have the most discomfort? What meds have they tried or is this like the first appointment. It is kind of simple to treat especially if your eyes take to the first eye drops. Probably with me is I'm still on that PREDNISONE because I have to be so makes my glaucoma worse. So I can give you advice just need to know more what problems your having and I can let you know how I have handled it and my Dr team. I'm an open book so feel free to ask anything. It will be OK :). Ive had it for 7 years and hasn't taken over or lost too much vision. You can send me a message and we can discuss it all there :). Nice to meet you and hope it helps.
