Hang in there Walden. As others have pointed out, glaucoma is very treatable these days, so odds are you'll do just fine.

Don't let that seeing eye monkey lead you up any coconut trees!

Good luck Walden. I'll be thinking of you.

Thank you. All this can be a little nerve-unsettling. Not too bad, but a little.

Hopefully all will be fine.

After this, no more attempts at early admittance to the 50+ club.

I had an eye exam that showed I had lost 50% of my vision. I went for testing and they found the problem. After a little surgery my vision returned completely. It not only saved my vision it saved my life. I will add you to the prayer list.

Hoping for the best with it!

Thanks for all the emotional support.

It went well, other than my natural tendency not to want to keep my eyes open. Appears any damage is minimal, and that I don't have glaucoma, and all the test results were within normal range.

Then I rested my head on a contraption that had a bright light on a little moveable arm, which they touched my eye with. I assume the bright light was to keep me from seeing it clearly so that I wouldn't blink. I hadda do that every half hour for 8 hours. I hope your test isn't nearly as much of a pain in the ass

Well, there were some similar tests to that, but not 8 hours of it.
