Dr. Feldman,
I have a couple of questions. On my visit to my optometrist he did a complete exam and when he did the air puff test he said presuure was a little high, 26 and 24. He referred me to an opthamologist. My opthamologist did a complete exam and said my visula fields were normal and optic nerve was normal and that I do not have glacoma.
The Dr. did say I have ocular hypertension and recommended Xalaton drops nightly, as a prophalictic measure. I returned after a few weeks and my pressure dropped to 17 and 19 which the Dr. was happy with. Now I return every 4 months for now to follow up.
I was quite worried, and my Dr. said he feels my vision will be fine with regular visits and the preventative meds.
I am 61, can this ocular hypertension be treated successfully, I appreciate your time and response. Mario
I currently is neuro-optomoligist at Froedert in Milwaukee, Wi
Dear techteach,
I would recommend that you seek the care of an eyeMD specializing in neuro-ophthalmology to determine the cause of your eye movement disorder.
