    • Close Glaucoma

      Hi, I recently went to the opthamologist because I could not see anymore & nobody would take it seriously. I got in quickly, the day before Thanksgiving, had my eyes examined by the technician who also didn't take me seriously. Telling me what I described was a "cognitive issue." So I replied, if it is a cognitive issue don't you think that my ADHD medicine would take care of that? He backpedalled & completed testing. My pressures had increased from 14 to 21. I am borderline, preglacomic
