The eye doctor that I was going to since I was 7, for eight years never checked the pressure in my eye. If he had, my eye would have been saved.
There were no signs that I had glaucoma other than my vision decreasing. Once your vision decreases, it's too late. That's why its so important to get a routine eye exam.
I kind of had a lazy eye and nobody had an answer for my mom. When I was 15, while on the Douglas High School ski team, I fell skiing and had blackened eyes. The pressure in my left eye was tremendous.
