Rob has glaucoma. We are lucky in that it was diagnosed very early by our most excellent family eye doctor. His glaucoma specialist is equally excellent and thus far, Rob has no perceptible loss of vision. In fact he tests out at better than 20/20. But he has to have drops twice daily to lower the ocular pressure. This prevents too much pressure from damaging the optic nerve.
Today was a pressure check. I always worry about them. I don't want his glaucoma to worsen and i don't fully know--no one does--whether his will just maintain nicely with eye drops or whether someday it will become something much harder to manage.
I took the day off from work as KC had a dentist appointment in the morning (where his first cavity was found. . . sigh) and then was home to care for the littles while K went with Rob for the pressure check.
His meds were changed again as his pressure while it has not changed radically over the past year, has crept into the low 20's and stayed there. My reading shows the teens are really where we want this so I am glad there was a med change. Now we need to go back in late July to see if the numbers are better. I sure hope they are.

Praying for Rob and for his numbers to get better.
Glad his pressure isn't too bad. Cool.
