I was diagnosed with glaucoma 24 years ago, when I was 30 years old.
I had no idea what it was. With the help of Glaucoma Australia I found a specialist who I see regularly and am now on the correct drops after trial and error.
I underwent a series of tests and have regular field tests and scans so have managed to control and monitor my glaucoma.
Glaucoma Australia do terrific work and I look forward to their newsletters.
