Dear rshawsart,
No doctor can predict your exact chance of developing glaucoma although your risk will be based upon whether you have a family history and may be influenced by the thickness of your cornea. I would recommend that you find out the results of your testing, visual field, optic nerve imaging, corneal thickness and continue to ask this question.

Hi rshaw and Everyone.
I am called a glaucoma suspect also. My IOP is normal, but there appears to be the start of optic nerve damage. They call mine Low Tension (or Normal Tension) glaucoma. I don't know much about it or how it is treated, since the pressure is already normal. If anyone has any insight on our glaucoma problems, please let us know. I am a 54 yo white female.
