Question:

Went to the optometrist this morning to get my eyes checked out cause well my vision sucks especially in my right eye.

They do the standard tests and come to find out there's more intraocular pressure in my right eye than is normal which raises the risk factor for glaucoma.

The doctor said it may be nothing but just to be sure i gotta have more tests done.

So i've got a glaucoma assessment test sometime next week.I guess my question for now is what does the future hold for my sight? I'm sure that's hard to answer as we're all different but I have gotten quite depressed over this and worry what will happen to my left eye which is currently 20/20 with everything normal.

I'm sure the glaucoma specialist will explain other options to me, but is there any hope in being able to see clearly out of my right eye ever again? Perhaps with corrective lenses? I'm having trouble doing my job which is another concern.

Answer:

impossible the guess what is in store for your sight.

no one knows whether you will ever see clearly out of your right eye again. sometimes vein occlusions cause permanent vision loss (but sometimes they dont)

unlikely that you have a tumor behind your eye.
