Glaucoma clinic check up

[BonnieMagic]

Some good news! I went for a check up and was told I was to have a visual fields test- good because I had no time to think about it! Saw the consultant who said my eye pressures are 13 and 13 which I was thrilled to learn. Visual field test in my worst eye was pretty rubbish - trigger happy was the term he used! Had pictures taken as a back up. So, unless I hear to the contrary, another check up in six - nine months.

That really is good news. Sometimes I think nerves get the better of us in the visual Field Test. Just a thought?

I’m sure you’re right but it is so difficult not to search for the white lights as opposed to staring in the middle!

I find the visual field test quite nerve wracking. I think I tend to be "trigger happy" too but I intend to only confirm what I have actually seen rather than have a nervous reaction to the lights. Are some of them fainter or is that my eyesight because some are really clear and others tricky to see. Never sure.

I was told that some lights are bright, others quite feint so it probably isn’t your eyesight! Good news!

That's good news.
