Bah! I am so annoyed! I had glaucoma testing back in October. I have a very strong family history of it. I called five different times to get the test results and they never called me back so I thought OK everything is fine. Yesterday (three months later!) I get a letter explaining the test results. It said that the test for liability was questionable but I had a few abnormal results. They want me to go back for further testing. I absolutely hate eye tests!!!! I have to get the OCT and visual field test done again. Don't they dilate for OCT?? I'm dreading this and a little concerned that I might have glaucoma. Maybe I don't but the test just didn't show that.

I called that dr for specifics and she basically said that though CT scan showed Abnormalities and field test showed mild like a month. They want me to repeat them to see if it's consistent or to see if it was a fluke thing

I absolutely loathe eye tests, too... They always have me do the peripheral vision test and then go to the large eye hospital to do it there. It was confirmed years ago this was all a brain abnormality... Nothing to do with my 'balls! They test will always come back abnormal, stop torturing me..

Looks like you will be in for some more rounds of fun. Good luck!

And I think they will generally dilate your eyes for everything when they do further testing for things. It's a real joy, truly. That sort of looming dx must be making you nervous.. Good luck!
Thanks for this!

Well they're scheduled. A week from today. I didn't expect it so soon!
