There are some types of glaucoma that can develop without warning. I've been seeing some of the best eye specialists in the country for years (due to ROP), and I'm confident that if there had been a problem, they would have detected it. Last week, the pressure in my eye got extremely high (54), and I was diagnosed with acute closed-angle glaucoma in the only eye I have vision in! Thankfully it was treated very quickly and after a laser iridotomy I seem to have no major vision loss.

The thing that makes me upset is that the doctors, supposetly, didn't see any thing wrong. Then 5 months later the white part of my eyes were blue. My Mom and Dad took me to the hospital and THEN the STUPID DOCTORS found something. Now I have nothing against doctors but that was stupid! But I do wanna be a optimologist.

aww. that is so sad. My mom has open angled glaucoma and has to take drops for the rest of her life. I hope you are doing okay :-)

I'm doing fine, I've got to tske eyedrops, too. It feels petty but it's neccery. I'm just sick of my brother cracking blind jokes all the time (even though I'm not).

I understand. I hope to not have glaucoma, though I eventually will end up getting one due to family history. I can't ignore the fact that people ended up getting blind due to the cruel effects of the disease. But I will continue to give you my regards and support as well... take care!

Thanks! There's an experimental surgery to regenerate the cells on you're optic nerve so you can see. But the wierd thing for me is that I'm the only one in my entire family with it- mom and dad's side of the family. But thank you for you're support.
