Early onset or junvenile glaucoma
by Madylane, 8 hours
Is there a difference between early onset and juvenile glaucoma? Is one or both more aggressive than later glaucoma? Will I be able to maintain the sight I still have or is it unavoidable to lose more with this?
My details are: 34 yr old female. Differently sized optic nerves. Dr said the 'donut holes' are different sizes. Myopic. Slight peripheral vision loss in one eye (it's also more myopic than the other) pressures of 18 the other day. Family history of a grandmother with glaucoma at a later onset, tx with drops. Some light sensitivity but I've had that as long a I can remember. Some diffuse halo issues (I guess that's what it's called?) around brights lights like my phone or tv. I can usually make it go away by turning the brightness down an resting my eyes a bit. Had that for the last few years as well and it hasn't bothered me.
Any advice, answers or direction to resources for someone my age is super welcome and appreciated!!!
