Living with glaucoma

[Ken44]

Hello ,I'm fairly new to this forum although was diagnosed with Primary Angle Closure Glaucoma in 2020. My condition seems to be under control and I am coping with it-just about with three different eye drops daily.

I am wondering how others manage the condition on a day to day basis. I find wearing very lightly tinted glasses helps a lot ,and just about masks the condition ,although the tunnel vision aspect is still there. I tend to worry that my Glaucoma is getting worse although my specialist says my eyesight is "really quite good",I feel my sight is worse than last year. Maybe it's my imagination.

I am upset that my sight will never get any better and that I've got to live with it for the rest of my life ,still I suppose I should be grateful that I can still see, thousands cannot. I am still driving.

I would be pleased to hear from others any tips for management you would care to share.

Many thanks

I am on my early stage of glaucoma in one eye. Hating sunglasses I realised it was my best buy prescription long distance glasses, my eyes seems to rest as I enjoy long walks.
