Hi, Great advice from Trish here. They really should be seeing you, at least a couple of times a year! Things can easily change with Glaucoma, so it's really important to have regular monitoring, so I would follow Trich's advice if I was you. All the best.

Hello,

If you haven't been seen for a number of years, it is best to try and arrange for another with the glaucoma consultant.

The good thing is that you are still using Latanaprost to treat the glaucoma, but it still important that you are seen regularly to make sure the eyedrops are still working as well as they were at the beginning.
