Glaucoma with no insurance

I'm 24 years old and started having occasional increased eye pressures at around 12. My vision in left eye is 20/60 and in right eye is 20/240. In the last 2 years I've had 3 eye examinations which all came back with pressures increased in both eyes left ranges 22-24 but right eye is 29-34. My eye DR. did a visual field test and it seems I have a blind spot in my upper right field in the right eye. He hasn't done any further testing because he believes if I am fully diagnosed I will be denied insurance when I am able to get it. I would like to know how likely it is I would be denied insurance? And also if these increased pressures would cause migraines with sensitivity to light?
