Hello,
I was told on Friday that I am a "strong glaucoma suspect". I have been a severe myopic since age 4, had a radical radial kerotonomy in 1995, with a 2ndary correction in 1996. But for over ten years my glaucoma "puff" tests have been consistant at 13 to 15 points. On my March exam both eyes registered 20 points, that great a leap makes you suspect. On Friday I had more tests, which confirmed the 20 point reading. I have no family hx of glaucoma, but then again there was no hx for any of the other stuff I been dx'd with in the past 4-5 yrs. Does my having SS have anything to do with increased chances or is it the corticosteroids? I am still brain foggy/confused due to the serotonin thing so I don't know if Iam even making the right questions. Anyone else with glaucoma thrown in the mix?
Michelle
