I Have Glaucoma

Small visual field
The facts are all present now
Bad news: Glaucoma
Losing my eyesight
Must pamper my failing eyes
Don’t want to lose them

Andrea Dietrich Date: 12/1/2011 10:35:00 PM You seem so young to have it. Did the doctors tell you why? I want to be sure to avoid it. Good that you can treat it constantly! Login to Reply Russell Sivey Date: 12/1/2011 10:40:00 PM It's only hereditary! If someone in your family has it, you have a chance of having it. If not, the chances are very slim that you'll get it. No, it's not a contact thing, or air-born thing, just hereditary. I am a young one to get it. But I've got both sides of the family that has someone that has it! Oh well, just something else to live with!

Andrea Dietrich Date: 12/1/2011 10:26:00 PM OH, Russell.I am so sorry. What does it all mean? CAn they be saved from getting worse? It is sure a worrisome thing! Login to Reply Russell Sivey Date: 12/1/2011 10:31:00 PM My eyes get worse if they are not treated...I am in treatment now by using drops for my eyes. It'll be a thing I'll have to do for the rest of my life. So that the good news is they won't get worse if I keep up my treatment! Just hope that's true!
