Hi TD. My dad has Glaucoma and, as BG said, it is just about frequent check-ups and monitoring so that they can start you on drops if necessary to manage it. You hear about it causing blindness etc. which it does in acute instances, but because it is largely symptom-free, it often goes undetected in people who don't get their eyes checked regularly. By the time they do start having symptoms it is just too late! Take care
