My 2 cents on glaucoma ..
* on glaucoma treatment for the past 20+ years
* on eye drops treatment (3 types per day)
* pressures ranged from 11-20
* but dont assume you are safe when the pressure is below the alarm (24 I think) as glaucoma damage can still persist when the pressure is low.
* cost? From memory for standard glaucoma check RM100+. Normally, eye pressure test, field of vision and internal eye structure visual check (?). For additional eye check, like the retina thickness layer, rm200+.
* don't be too focused now on getting the best eye specialist. Just go to a good one for your initial check. Only later if that doctor says you need surgery etc, then consult another one.
* first treatment phase is by eye drops.
* second treatment phase is by surgery (laser to punch a hole for the drainage)
* third stage ?
* glaucoma is a silent killer, you don't feel or see the symptoms till too late. So strongly advise you to follow Nike's slogan
JUST DO IT!
Ha.
All the best.
