Dear friends, I am delighted to be part of this forum I was diagnosed of glaucoma in 2020 and since then I have been on eye drop. I suspected the prolong used of steroids for keloid was responsible for my glaucoma, facial cosmetic concern for keloid on my face contributed to this this problem but my doctor said I am responding well to treatment. Love you guys. Achile

Welcome to the Forum Tuwodakuka, you'll find a friendly and helpful group of people here.

Sorry to hear of your glaucoma diagnosis but it's good that it has been found and that you are responding well to eye drops. On the whole, as ypu've no doubt been told, glaucoma is well controlled with drops as long as you keep taking them as prescribed. I've had it for nearly 40 years and I'm still the same as I was at diagnosis so although it can be a worrying/scary diagnosis, there are a lot of good news journeys around.

Good luck with your keloid and glaucoma in the future.

Best Wishes, Peg
