eye test

[johnner]

Can you please tell me what is the shortest time you can have pre-glaucoma, before it deveops into glaucoma.  I was just wondering how often I should have my eyes tested, cause my eye specialist said a was a higher risk patient to develop glaucoma(just cause changes had taken place in my eyes, such as a small side retin hole(to be checked every two years), and eye floaters(which I broke out in, after using this injectable tanning product!).  Would having them tested every 2 years(if i have no vision trouble), be ok to catch it in it's very early stages, if I was to develop it?

Thanks.

I think every year would be better and more often as recommended by an EyeMD Ophthalmologist.

Ok thank you.

Can you please also tell me if alot of small specky eyefloaters can effect the blood flow around the eye?  My eyes do be a bit red since I got my eyefloaters.

And also if my small retin hole (with a bit of lattice), could cause reddning of that paticular eye?(left eye is a bit redder than the right).

Go raibh maith agat.
