I'm 20 and a glaucoma suspect but i need to see a specialist to confirm it. what will happen if it is confirmed?

Do not worry: If are a glaucoma suspect that means you do not have glaucoma. You are just being observed. The best way to prevent any problem, you just follow up with your eye doctor. If you ever will develop glaucoma do not panic. If you are under close observation and treatment the patient does not loss sight or have any problem.
