My mum, she's in her late 70s, has had it for years and it is controlled with drops. Go and have a check up at the Dr's as hers flares up when her blood pressure is up.

Does your optometrist mind you asking questions? if not find one who does, as nothing is worse than walking out and feeling like you were a bother rather than a patient. Whenever you think of a question write it down so you will remember to ask the next time you go.

All the best with the next round of tests.
