Glaucoma

Post by PocketDragonFriend » Thu Apr 17, 2008 5:44 pm

I've had glaucoma for about 6 years now. Only been diagnosed with sleep apnea for about 4 months.

I've tried every drop possible and even had the laser surgery but my pressures are still in the 22-25 range.

I just had my first appointment with the eye doctor since starting CPAP but so far there has been no difference in my pressures.

PocketDragonFriend,
Have you had all the tests that show that your eyes are still healthy? (Optic nerve, peripheral vision, etc.)
