I have early signs of glaucoma. I take alphagan (P) eye drops 3 times a day to keep my pressure down.
Well, there are no obvious clinical signs of glaucoma (at least in the early stages). The only test to determine if you have glaucoma is at the eye doctor. Glaucoma is a disease of the eye caused by increased pressure from various factors such as age or disease. I was diagnosed with glaucoma at age 30 caused by a malformation of the eyeball (due to my bad vision) causing the iris to slough off, therefore clogging the drain in the eyeball. When this drain becomes blocked, the pressure rises, causing glaucoma. I had laser surgery for the iris sloughing and use eyedrops. |
