I saw the Retina specialist on Nov 22 and had a full workup for glaucoma. The only indication of glaucoma is the bleed on the optic nerve. All other indicators are negative and some way negative. So, I will be going for checkups every four months or until something changes. Most meds are beta-blockers and with already low blood pressure, I would have other issues.
As far as the pain in my other eye, it is slowly improving. I don't have pain as often and when I do have an occurance, the pain is not as sharp. This is 12 months after cataract surgery.

@rwinney Hello
I know it has been awhile, but here is the latest update.
still have pain in my right eye whenever I move it to suddenly or at an acute angle. I no longer have dry eye after several years of Bruder pads, borage oil. and cleaning my eye lids each morning. Yeah!
After cataract surgery, it took mr 2.5 years and 7 prescriptions to finally see clearly. It turns out that I had an allergic reaction to the antibiotic eye drops used after the surgery. My eyes just swelled up and took forever to go back to normal size/shape.I repeatedly told the surgeons that I had major reactions to many antibiotics. I guess that message didn't mean anything to them.

Please, Please do your home work when choosing an eye surgeon for cataract surgery. It is not all ways a walk in the park.
