Get it checked. Hubby is borderline Glaucoma and he has six monthly checks at the Eye Clinic in Maidstone Hospital. he has Travatan drops to put in every night. Best not to let Glaucoma take a hold cos it causes peripheral vision loss.
Hubby's was picked up by the Optician who advised him to see the doctor who then referred him to the Hospital.

My Hypertension was also picked up by the Optician as she could see pinched veins. This is now kept under control by a tablet every morning .

Best to be safe than sorry !!

Hi Jules, you are not being silly at all honestly, even if it is just for piece of mind, you really must go and see your Doctor. Sometimes we blow things way out proportion in our minds and so a visit to the Doctor can be most reassuring.
You are the most important person in your life right now............so dont delay, make an appointment today!! xxx

I wasnt sure what to do as the optician didnt seem that bothered as it hasnt quite reached 20....
She did say something about hypertension...Could that cause the pressure in your eyes to go up?? Think I should google it.....Im getting worried now...

Sorry to moan guys xx

As some of you know I am having a tough time at the moment, what with my marriage ending and struggling to get somewhere to live well I went to have my eyes checked today, they did the test for Glaucoma and my reading was high!!!
They said it was 11 last time and now it is 19, if it goes to 20 or more I could have Glaucoma!!! I don't know what to think, my life is tough enough as it is..Do you think I should make an appointment to see my GP or am I being silly.....
I really don't need anymore health problems as I have enough already to cope with....
