Thanks BG. You have relieved some of the stress. God bless you.
hun, i've been where you're at now, and thankfully, i have a optometrist that i trust and can grill big time about it all! he gave me lots of info about it

if you need more details, i know what stuff to look for online and can probably post some stuff (if i can get my brain to kick in)

i would suggest you speak to the optometrist about whether he believes it's genetic. glaucoma CAN be (but often isn't) a side effect of other general health issues (diabetes etc)
