I haven't been on here in a while..anyway, I took an eye exam today to get my prescription updated and get the proper lenses I'll need [I have astigmatism and correctable vision]. As luck would have it, during the more extensive part of the exam, my optometrist told me she thinks I might have glaucoma, and I have to reschedule an appointment again to be tested for sure. I haven't had any symptoms and I'm only 22, but I'm assuming this would be a problem for the medical during my PEPC [which is on Friday]..does anyone know how BAD this could be for me, if I do end up having glaucoma? I don't know if they even check that much during the eye exam at the PEPC, but if they do the whole eyedrop thing and shine lights into your eye, it'd show a red flag because apparently I have "a large optical nerve". Anyone care to fill me in?
