Question
Dear Dr. Shroff,
I had my visit 3 weeks ago with my opthamoligist. The Dr. performed all test for my exam,{at my optometrist office my air puff was 26 and he referred me to specialist}, my specialist told me i have ocular hypertension and put me on Xalaton drops . I returned for a follow up and my pressure came down to 17, and he was happy with that. I go back in 4 months for check up.
I am very nervous about this condition, my physician assures me that I will be fine , just keep taking my meds and regualr visits, but I have much anxiety{driving my poor wife batty}.
Any thoughts from you are greatly appreciated.
Thank You,
Tomas

Dear Tomas,
Nothing to be concerned about. You seem to have also responded well to the basic line of treatment.
This is called Glaucoma and you can read more about this on www.shroffeye.org
A good eye doctor or glaucoma specialist is best to look after your eye condition.
Regards,
Dr Shroff
