Today morning I had to do a follow-up check-up with my ophthalmologist. Six months earlier, when I had visited him...he examined my eyes and told me that it has entered early stage of GLAUCOMA & the possibility was usage of high steroids during my COVID recovery. What I understood is that the blood vessels in eyes maintain a certain pressure, whenever that goes up above permissible limit, its called glaucoma that leads to blindness slowly, if not taken care of. My eye pressure is on the borderline & with due care it can be controlled. I've been prescribed 2 eye-drops - one to control dryness & other to control pressure. Hopefully I will come out of it soon...

This is good news that it will be controlled. Good health to you then.

My brother had glaucoma too but he had very bad eyesight from other conditions as well. How are you going now?

I've to again go for a check-up after 3 months, when they will measure the eye pressure again....until then 2 eye drops need to continue daily....

I wish you good luck with your eye care. Nobody wants to lose their vision.
