Best wishes, Ann. I have "low tension" glaucoma. I have been taking 2 different eye drops for 7 or 8 years now, and the results have been very good. Basically, there has been no discernible change in my range of vision. There is a lot they can do for glaucoma, even for folks my age. I do note that I have to rely on auto focus more than I would like, but that is a small price.
hang in there, follow the doctor's advice, and chances are very good it will not have a major impact on your life.
