and you are over 50 and appreciate your sight, see an ophthalmologist. I have a friend that was seeing an optometrist, who mentioned to her that her eye pressure were a little high but nothing to worry about. At some point she did get worried and saw an ophthalmologist who said she needed to be taking drops immediately to keep her pressures down to prevent deterioration of her eyes.

Thanks for the OP by the way.
