@brazuca44usa it is my husband with GCA. His glaucoma was detected by an optometrist, but he had the detailed test where they look at the back of your eyes, etc. Since nothing was seen with this exam, insist on seeing an opthalmologist and make sure when they make an appointment it is with the right eye doctor this time. I think everyone over fifty seems to have dry eyes - I do, too, and I use Hydrasense eye drops - they are cheaper at Costco.

My husband hasn’t experienced any of the symptoms you have been experiencing. Could you go to Emergency? You are more likely to get tests done there.

@rashida, I’m only 44 years old. I’m very scared! My vision is also very blurry.
