Glaucoma can be treated successfully with eye drops and even laser surgery in some cases. If your Mom takes care of her eyes she should be okay.

@ChipmunkErnie thank you so much

@Mindful My grandfather, mother, and wife all had it and treated it successfully.

@ChipmunkErnie okay, that's a real relief to hear! Thanks!

It can be helped by laser treatment
Mindful · 56-60, F
@Strictmichael75 hmmmm laser? ... I'll look into that. She has had an eye lense cleaning/ treatment after cataract surgery. In general there are some injections and light therapy treatments that are available for treating macular degeneration ...thanks for your comment

Many people do alright with Glaucoma...I am a little concerned about the Dr. waiting a full year to check an older person for Glaucoma, seems like a long time, unless pressure was just normal before...I hope it's manageable - I know a few people that have it, and they seem to get along well.

@fun4us2b thank you for sharing your experience... that sounds hopeful

My dad has glaucoma for more than two decades. The important things is to maintenance correct eye pressure with regular eye drops. The vision already lost cannot be recovered but maintaning correct eye pressure can prevents further vision loss.

@ABCDEF7 thank you so much for sharing your experience. I appreciate it.

@Mindful It is advisable to never miss eye drops, and timely get the eye pressure checked. Field test is a report card of how much vision is lost, doctors prescribe it after a duration to track if the regular eye drops are able to limit further vison loss.

It sounds scary. I would be worried too. But it is going to be alright..you'll see.

@Mindful
Dont worry. It's going to be fine. Because I said so. 😊

@BeJeweled Thank you. Yes. I don't know if I need to hug her or if I need her to hug me 🤗

It's hard to imagine that they only recently checked her eye pressure. It is routine around here. Fortunately, it can be treated.
Mindful · 56-60, F
@exexec yeah... at least it can be treated... I'm sure they have checked it before, because like you said, it looked like a standard protocol.
