Get third opinion: This is a case where i would normally side with the glaucoma specialist, but you will never be convinced you received the correct diagnosis. I would advise you seek a third and final opinion from another ophthalmologist.

Glaucoma specialist: While most optomitrists can diagnose and in some states treat glaucoma a glaucoma specialist can often find signs an symtoms that are overlooked.
