Well I had recently found out that I have cataracts which stressed me out major but after talking to many people that have had the surgery done I'm looking forward to it. But the news got worse when I went i for another check up. I had three doctors come in and start to look at my eyes and that raised my red flag but after they all got done looking they informed me I have glaucoma. They informed me I'm lucky that it was caught in the early stages so I'm wondering how many of you out here have glaucoma and what should I expect.
 
I wish I could help. I'm super anal about my eyes, because it's my favorite sense. Not too worried about my ears or any of the other five, but I am religious about safety glasses, sun glasses, you name it. Nothing is more terrifying to me than going blind.
 
First, eye drops can help drop your inter-ocular pressure. Second, laser surgery can also help relieve pressure.

My dad and godfather both had cataract surgery done in their 70s. Both said post-surgery they could see better than when they were 19.
