Treat Glaucoma Before It Is Too Late

Treat Glaucoma Before It Is Too Late.
Alan Leighton discovered he had glaucoma when he noticed a gray yard of discern in his left eye. That was in 1992. "I over I had it a long time before that, but I didn't know until then," said Leighton, 68, a corporate treasurer who lives in Indianapolis. "Glaucoma is groove on that. It's sneaky".

Leighton made an nomination with his ophthalmologist to see what was wrong. "We went for a bunch of tests, and he ascertained there was an issue with that eye, and that I had normal pressure glaucoma".

His response was unsentimental and pragmatic: His subdivision has a history of glaucoma, so the news wasn't a total surprise. "I stony that we needed to take the most proactive methods we could. I would go to the best people I could find and woo what methods they had to address it and keep it from getting worse. I wanted to keep it from affecting my right eye, which was somewhat clear. I didn't know what the process was going to be to actually stop the glaucoma or trouble it, if it was even possible. I don't know if there was a lot of emotion involved. It was more like, 'Hey, what can we do about this?'".

He asked if there was any fashion to restore the sight he'd lost, and the answer was no. "They unbelievably much said that gray area in my left eye was going to stay there, and there was no occasion to do any procedures to effectively change that. It had something to do with the optic nerve".
