Recently diagnosed and now taking Ganfort daily. Happily pressures reduced to normal and hopefully all under control. There is some optic nerve damage and now aware of reduced field of vision in left eye and some loss of detail which is noticeable esp if I close my right eye and just read with the left. Wondered if new prescription glasses likely to be of any help with loss of detail/reading or if as vision loss due to optic nerve damage then they would not do much? Forgot to ask ophthalmologist at last consultation as so relieved that drops were working! Appreciate any knowledge/experience that can be shared.

Hi.It might be worth checking with your optician and seeing if there is anything that they can do or suggest. If due to optic nerve damage I wouldn’t think there would be any glasses or anything like that.
There are however glasses that can help with glare and magnifiers so if you are struggling and think these might help then please let me know and I will point you in the right direction.
