2 years since Diagnosis

It’s been 2 years and here is my outlook - Oct 2023 (age 19)

Routine eye test picked up IOP ~30/30 mmHg on air-puff. No symptoms. Started on Xalatan.

Dec 2023

Reviewed and switched to Xalacom. Anatomy noted as narrow but open angles.

Jan 2024

Pressures still elevated on treatment. Early glaucoma changes noted.

•	VFI: \~90% left eye, \~99% right eye

•	RNFL: thin, left worse than right

Feb 2024 (early)

Escalated to Alphagan + Xalacom. Strong response.

•	IOP: \~10–11 mmHg both eyes

•	VFI: \~89–90% left, \~99% right

Dec 2024

While overseas, pressures again elevated on Goldmann.

•	IOP: \~28 mmHg left / \~25 mmHg right

Switched to Simbrinza + xalacom

Dec 20, 2024

After starting Simbrinza:

•	IOP: \~15/15 mmHg

Jan 20, 2025

•	IOP: \~15/15 mmHg

•	VFI: \~89% left, \~99% right

July 24, 2025

•	IOP: \~15 mmHg left / \~18 mmHg right

•	Visual fields considered stable

Most recent visit (early 2026)

•	IOP: \~18 mmHg in one eye and \~21 mmHg in the other

•	VFI: right eye \~99% (essentially normal); left eye improved to \~92%, with a mild localised defect (one test flagged low reliability)

•	RNFL: thin (I’m myopic), with a small (\~5 µm) change noted on one scan, but this was done on a different OCT machine and hasn’t clearly repeated

I AM REALLY SCARED THAT PRESSURES WILL CONTINUE TO CREEP UP AND I WILL NEED A SURGERY ! I am already on high drops. Is this just a one off reading , like a bad day ? Help
