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.
