I had a glaucoma checkup today, and I got the best report I’ve gotten in a very long time! Normal intraocular pressure (IOP) ranges from 10-18 mm Hg. Without medication, my IOP is in the 30s. With medication, my pressures are usually between 20-25. Today my pressures were 17 in the right eye and 18 in the left! This is only the second time I can recall having pressures that fell within normal limits!
I will continue my regimen of Xalatan in both eyes once per day and Trusopt in the right eye twice per day. I have to see the doctor again in four months. Here’s to hoping for another good report!

I’ve been told that pot is good for that…but I’m not speaking from personal experience.
Good news.
