question about glaucoma treatment

hello dr.
i'm a full time college student, no health insurance, working on the weekend part time making minimum wage. and i want to know if i do have glaucoma, how much will it cost to buy those eyedrops?
and my other questions is, if you see rainbow haloes around bright light, does that guarantee you to have glaucoma?
thank you

i load up the pic in my profile pic, i think you can see it next to my name on top but kindda small, that is what i see at night.
i want to go get treatment but i'm kindda broke right now after i just pay my univeristy tuition fee, i have to wait like a month before my next minimum wage paycheck to go to the eye dr.
do you think if i have glaucoma, it can wait 1 month?

The type of starburst, flare, rays that you posted and described at your age (unless you are a reallly old college student) are rarely due to glaucoma and are usually due to needing glasses or corneal or lens problems.

If you have no family history of glaucoma, no pain, your symptoms remain stable then it likely will not hurt to wait a month to see an Eye MD ophthalmologist. Find one near you at www.aao.org
