Q:
Does the glaucoma test hurt? I hear they spray something in your eye.
A:
there are actually a couple ways to screen for glaucoma, all painless. my eye doc annually does the puff of air thing, which kinda freaks me out, but doesn't hurt. then biannually, he puts some sort of anesthetic in my eye to check it more closely. it's not painful, but it makes it feel...starchy.
