FINAL WARNING. Your eye doctor is looking for signs of glaucoma, a progressive disease consisting of elevated intraocular pressure that can result in damaging the optic nerve, thus constricting your visual field (measured by Goldmann or Humphrey visual field testing), and causing loss of sight due to loss of peripheral vision. Glaucoma can be treated medically with eye drops. However, if the pressures cannot be controlled with medication alone, then a procedure called a trabeculectomy can be performed. The below link has a TON of information on how glaucoma is diagnosed, treatments, and prognoses. The reason glaucoma is so important to detect early is because once any damage is done, it is irreversible, even with treatment. The treatments only protect remaining visual function. Source(s): http://www.glaucoma.org/ He's checking for glaucoma, which is increased pressure in the anterior chamber of the eye. If this is untreated, it can result in blindness. Most optometrists screen for it regularly now. MD "final warning?" LOLOLOL!!! b/c i think you already know the answers to all of these questions you ask? you're the spammer here, my friend. what purpose do you have for asking the same questions over & over again? and asking questions that you know the answer to...like this one, i suspect. looking for attention, are we? you're the one skating the line here as far as "forum abuse" is concerned, buddy. yes, a lot of people are watching. block away. edit: i just reported you to yahoo for "forum abuse". yes, i encourage all other posters to read all of your "questions" in the optical forum today and my answers, and come to their own conclusion as to whats going on here. thats a great idea. optometrist http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-wsz1uw8ha...
