Question:
I am 55 yrs. old and just been diagnosed with glaucoma . We have a family history of it. Is anyone out there suffering from this? I'd just like to compare thoughts. Thanks
Answer:
I was diagnosed about a year ago. No one in my family has ever suffered from glaucoma. I use Timolol drops once a day (the gel type). I got it after having an advanced case of iritis. I've had two procedures to open the vessels in my eyes but still, my pressure stays in the mid 30's. I'm surprised more people have not responded to your post. Glaucoma is a big deal to me, and I hate it. It's really changed the way I have to work, drive...etc. How is your glaucoma being treated? Take care!
