A member asked:
I have borderline glaucoma, how long will it be before it gets really bad?

Borderline glaucoma: Diagnosis from your ophthalmologist indicates you have risk factors coupled with suspicious results on your glaucoma tests that do not meet the criteria for the actual diagnosis of glaucoma. Some individuals never go on to develop overt glaucoma while others do progress. Regular follow up visits and testing will help develop a clearer answer over time.

Glaucoma suspect : It is possible that if you were diagnosed with borderline glaucoma, that you may never develop glaucoma. However it is very difficult to determine when glaucoma may begin. Certain factors that can be attained through your exam can let one know if they are at low, moderate, or high risk of development. The best thing that you can do is continue to have regular follow-up to assess if change occurred
