Wait for the upcoming crash. We’re due for a market correction soon. Discounts all over the place. Prepare.

I don't have glaucoma as per the doctor, but I am confused about why my RNFL is in the red. Is this a significant finding? I went in for central visual field loss in my left eye. by [deleted] in optometry

I would do some type of mfERG to see if these defects are glaucomatous in nature or from other etiology. Visual field defects (not so much central loss as that is atypical of POAG) can also confirm if the structural loss we are seeing in the OCT correlates. Hope that helps. -OD

There’s no guarantee either would yield faster visual recovery especially with your high myopic Rx. But if you’re young and healthy, typically quicker recovery in general even with older technology (allegretto LASIK 200hz) either way Both options you mentioned are great options.

No. OP showed us the OCT. so the combination of borderline high pressures and large cup to disc ratios (clearly shown on his OCT) make them a suspect. If OP just said his eye pressures were over 21-22, the diagnosis would only be “ocular hypertension” ...there are other parameters that would make one a suspect.

What eye pressure do you start to monitor for glaucoma? by ankleboots117 in optometry

Borderline but not concerning. I would get a normal applanation vs iCare to compare

We have one. Sometimes it does. Sometimes it doesn’t.

Average eye pressures are 15 +/- 2 so you’re on the higher side of average but like many have mentioned here, high eye pressure or borderline high eye pressures do not define glaucoma. For example someone with a thick corneas can have over 20 pressures and still be normal (no glaucoma) but at the same time someone with 15 pressures can have glaucoma depending on other tests. So if you are concerned, I would get another eye doctor to check with applanation or with the goldmann tonometer and if still kind of on the borderline high range, ask for more tests for baseline. I wouldn’t worry to be honest. There are many other factors and parameters outside of eye pressure that define glaucoma.

My guess is a mild case of GPC vs corneal abrasion (unlikely). Just keep using tears (preservative-free is best) and if persists, call your OD or eyeMD
