My pressure is normal but my eye is thin (what irony.. the part that has to be fat/thick like me isn't), so the pressure becomes high. I definitely have glaucoma, and he says left 30%. He is optimistic and say I must start medication, and there is surgery at the later stages. Now must take this report to my visit to the Government Hospital and get free medicine.. and hope for the best. He tested something else and that was good, the radial scan analysis and optic nerve head analysis, and my vision field is still OK. All I can say is that I am scared, tired of it all, but being practical know that I must start to deal with it. Now I am a life member of the Blind Society, and must start to find a place to learn to type and also to get the software that reads the computer details to you (JAWS)... and perhaps the scanner reader for printed material... need money cause its all in US dollars and expensive. Also to learn to deal with mobility issues... and income for the family?
Hopefully God gives me a lot more years with sight..

hello sir, good evenin,
hi, im diomira, currently a 2nd year postgrad in unimas, frst. ive seen u around on campus but never had the chance to say hi.. just wanted to share wit u that my dad had similar problems, he has this 'package-disease' they say, it all started with diabetes, glaucoma, hypertension then a few years back, both his kidneys were in chronic condition, needed dialysis afterwards.. mum has been very patient.. we all are.. but i dunno how it feels to be in such situation, but i know how it feels to be with the person in that particular condition..
but pls feel assured that everyone close is praying for the best, even if things would get worse, u must understand that everything that happens has a reason. pls stay on strong. be optimistic.. i hope for the best too.
Stay Strong, sir. I pray and I hope that you'll just be fine no matter what happens!
thank you all
Glaucoma is treated with systemic diuretic medications, a surgical procedure called iridotomy or iridectomy, surgical formation of a drainage shunt or all of the above. The condition is very rare and causes a rapid loss of vision if not treated immediately.
