My optometrist said that he saw signs of glaucoma because of my intraocular pressure and nerves when he saw my eye with a light and I should see an eye doctor. Im in my 20s and still have my full peripheral vision. He didn't do a dilating exam.I have set up an appointment in few weeks but wanted to know how soon could it get worse if nothing is done. My optometrist said it could be decades, sooner, or never (if my eye pressure is based on just bad eye physiology (I am cross-eyed and nearsighted). Just wanted to get some opinions from others since most of the info is geared towards those whom already have their peripheral vision compromised or seniors.
