I got an eye exam on November 24, and was told I had to come back for extra glaucoma testing due to large looking nerves( cupping). I went back in the following week and had the nerve analysis and field vision baseline test.
I called and got my test results the next day, really hoping it would be a simple yes you have glaucoma or no you do not have glaucoma, but that was not the case I soon found out. My nerve fiber analysis showed thinning of the superior and inferior rims and to monitor. She asked I come back in 3 to 4 months to retest. I have had bouts of blurry vision, headaches, eye pressure pain behind eyes. Left eye lid gets lazy when tired, light sensitivity, bad night vision, blurry peripheral vision, trouble adjusting vision and halo's around lights. Incandesant lights give a orangey halo, florescent give off blue halo, add glasses and then starry streaks come into the mix with a windshield on the top and I shouldn't be driving at night!
So my question is, can there be more damage in 3 to 4 months? And if the test comes back no changes, what would cause the thinning of my nerve fibers? Is there anything other then glaucoma that would cause this? Are my eye symptoms even related to the changes seen?
