Youre very welcome Dinah and I understand why you would be worried I worry too. But am better with other peoples fears :) If your eye doc is not an opthamologist he may only have 1-2 of the tests you may want to have done for the glaucoma. Get all 3 before you accept the dx....you will most likely pass test number one the air kind. If you pass that cool you do not need test 2...If you have been on drugs like Seroqual
(sp) you will want to look it up..google the rare side effects and get the 3rd type of test for this. BTW, my mom had glaucoma and used drops and was fine...later she was able to stop the drops (this is rare) because the pressure in her eyes were from the radiation she was getting. I know odd stuff...I have had more jobs than Donald Duck. Good luck and many prayers you'll be ok hon.> Thanks, Fallen. That does make me feel better. I hadn't thought of it that way. I was thinking more that the receptionist thought it was an emergency. This feels better.
