Was just diagnosed with glaucoma, need support!

Yes, Aaron, I have low pressure glaucoma, and have been using latanoprost for several years. My pressures routinely range between 12 & 14, but the glaucoma continues to progress (very slowly) so I trust the docs know what they are doing. I am also monitored every 3 months and will continue to do it, because I have seen first-hand the devastation of losing one's eyesight completely.

Thanks Sue. I am on the six-month rotation currently. I have idiopathic neuropathy that we know responds very well to steroids which of course leaves me in a catch-22. Do I ask for steroids to control the pain and risk making the glaucoma worse, or suffer in increasing pain without the steroids? Since I am idiopathic there is zero guidance.
