I,ve been told that i have borderline glaucoma how do i prolong this or stop it from happening?

The only way you can prevent this from happening is to use special eye drops prescribed by an ophthalmologist. I cannot tolerate these unfortunately, so every 2 years I have a new procedure called OCT (optical coherence tomography) which measures the thickness of the retinal cells to make sure they are still O.K. and gives me a bit more time.

If you are like me you may go for years like this and never actually get glaucoma.

Glaucoma is a "plumbing" problem where fluid builds up in the eye and creates pressure within the eye. It has no real connection with high blood pressure.

Reduce your blood pressure for a start.

Any glaucoma has to be treated lifelong. predisposing conditions like hypertension and diabetes have to be controlled and drugs to lower tension of the eyes to be instilled.

to be honest im scared about it i do not know i am being told that im borderline for diabetes so im just trying to figure out are they telling me i have it or not can u please help me with learning how i can pull from it if i dont have it yet..

My Father went blind from Glaucoma, but he was will-full and stubborn and ignored what he was supposed to do.

My Brother has it also and it stays under control, but has had to have a surgery or two to correct the pressure in the eye.
He has had it for at least 10 years under control.

Use a good Ophthalmologist and FOLLOW HIS OR HER INSTRUCTIONS.

That is my suggestion.

The objective of treatment is to reduce intraocular (in the eye) pressure. Depending on the type of glaucoma, this is achieved with medications or by surgery.

Most people with glaucoma can be treated successfully with eye drops.

You can manage open-angle glaucoma and almost always preserve your vision, but the condition cannot be cured. It's important to carefully follow up with your doctor. With good care, most patients with open angle glaucoma will not lose vision.

There is no way to prevent open-angle glaucoma, -- I believe this means BP and salt in-take are not important to treatment of glaucoma ( good other wise)

Good Bless and Keep.

Glaucoma is defined as progressive optic nerve damage. I think if you are told you have borderline glaucoma, that probably just means your eye pressures are a little high. The majority of people with elevated eye pressures do not develop glaucoma, so someone in your situation should just be monitored periodically by a glaucoma specialist. If the pressures continue to be high and you are in a high risk group for developing glaucoma, the doctor may put you on glaucoma eyedrops to lower the pressure and hopefully delay development of the disease.

Youe eye pressures are high. You MUST get them down. Failure to do so will mean the pressure will damage your optic nerve and you will lose at first some peripheral vision. I hate to say this but once gone that PV NEVER comes back.
