I think it’s early days for you, so you are processing it all. I get the stressed part , I’m so scared of going blind too. Xx

Yes my optician referred me due to narrow angles and high pressure . Had the initial tests for Glaucoma at the eye hospital that they do.Will post when I get my results , but with pressure now at 26/28 it’s looking likely I do have it .

I only know the angles the optician saw , at the eye hospital they didn’t tell me , my left eye isn’t great at 15 degrees , the right was 35 , so depends if the hospital get same results .

Plus they look at optic nerve etc....
