Glaucoma

Yesterday I went to get my eyes checked and I found out I have glaucoma. Unfortunately I have it in my right eye which is my good eye. (The eye I see best out of). I have to go to a specialist to see what comes next. My trip may have to be postponed. I don't have any health insurance and can't afford to get any. Hopefully drops will fix my problem; if I need surgery I have no idea what I'll do. Glaucoma can blind a person and you may not notice there is a problem till it's too late. Glaucoma affects one in 200 hundred people over fifty and one in 10 people over 80. Certain ethnic groups are more likely to develop glaucoma even at an early age. Please get  your eyes checked and be sure they check your eye pressure. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.
