Because I've now been labeled a "glaucoma suspect." Before they just wanted to watch me. I have testing in a couple weeks. My pressure is high and my optic nerve is large. I'm nervous.

I worked in eye care for years , there are meds for it and even laser in office procedures that can help. Don’t stress to much, it’s very treatable.

Large cupping and increased IOP can be a sign of it but not a definite. Visual field testing is the best way to catch slight loss of peripheral vision in early stages, I’m assuming they have taken pictures of your optic nerve to compare each visit ? You can also go in more often to have the IOP ( inter ocular pressure) checked ... what’s your # now ? Just because you have a strong family history does not mean you will have it.

My mum had a glaucoma removed from both eyes 15yrs ago. I remember it being really quick to fix.
