ive had it for about 9 years now....and Im only 31. I found out when I went to wright Patterson to get my medical for a flying slot in the reserves. had my IOP tested and it was in the mid 30's.

did drops, lowered it to around 17.

Tried SLT (selective laser trabeculoplasty).....this uses a "cold" laser to cause phagocytosis. in a nutshell, my pressure was lowered for about 3 years, but creeped back up.

I take drops once a day at night...stays around 16-17.

usually it's caused my heredity...im an anomaly, since im the only person in my family to have had it.
