Chronic closed narrow angle glucoma

I have been diagnosed with this a month ago. I have had a lot of laser treatments, tablets and eyedrops to bring the pressures down and keep them down. My left eye vision is all fogey now and can only see outlines of things, bit no details. Can anyone who has this tell me how they are finding it please. 1 month in,y right eye is already compensating for my left one, it is amazing!

I am finding because it is rare there is very little support, especially as it has come on so quickly and could have been blind. It has been a real shock for me!

Has anyone else got this?

Hi,Sorry you are having a hard time. My son was diagnosed with chronic narrow angle glaucoma at the age of 23 last December. We are in Finland. They started with drops, no talk of laser. He had a check after a month, the pressures were then 21 and 23 (35 and 38 when diagnosed). The doctor was not happy with it and the 2nd appointment will be late April. I wonder if they start talking about laser then. Did you have a glaucoma attack or how did you find out?
