Glaucoma specialist results
I recently had a post about this topic regarding me. Went to a glaucoma specialist as a commercial puff test read 24 both eyes.
Results: VFT: pass, cornea thickness 610-608, pressure on goldmann was 16 each eye. optic nerves 'very good', I think she said cup ratio 0.44 I'm not sure what that meant. I could be mistaken as I think she was talking to herself out loud. She said ''all clear see you in a year, nothing to worry about''. But did point out a bit of my RNFL was thinner than ''the average'', as it was highlighted red, wasn't covering a big area and was only in my left eye, she insisted not to be concerned.
As for any eye conditions, I do have pretty bad solar retinopathy in my left eye which has a blind spot in my center vision.
What do you make of this? I've heard plenty of people in my situation, should I be curious or should I trust her answers and leave it be.
I'm only 21 years old.

I would stop worrying about it for a year. And rather than talking to herself she would surely using a 'scribe' that puts what she says in the electronic medical health record.
