I have just been diagnosed with acute angle glaucoma

[Guest guest]

HI everyone. I am a 42 year old male, and was just diagnosed with glaucoma. It

started on Tuesday night. I started having loss of vision like someone smeared

vasaline across my eye. Then the pain started. OMG it was horrendous and

nauseating. I went to see my family doctor who gave me eye drops and water

pills. He called the eye surgeon immediatly and got me in within 2 hours,

prescribed eye drops and water pills which I took immediatly. I went to see him

and he was affraid the damage had been done and I had permenant vision loss. The

doctor put an eye drop in every 20 minutes for 2 hours and my eye responded

rather well. I went home, continued with the drops, water pills. Today I woke up

and 80% of my vision had come back. I am still scared about what caused this. I

hear you can have a brain tumor that causes glaucoma and that makes me very

scared, especially for a man of 42 getting this. I saw the eye doc again today

and he was amazed at how fast my eye recovered and seeing him again monday. He

said I need further treatment, but not right now. What other treatment could he

be talking about?
