Dr says glaucoma caught early w/30% nerve damage & minimal peripheral vision loss. begun treatment. only 58 yrs. old. what is long-term prognosis?

Fairly good.: Since most of your vision is conserved, your outcome, with all available to your ophthalmologist , should be good! but your letter stresses the importance of examination of the eyes, more so, to prevent most glaucoma associated damage!

Good: The prognosis is good if you use the medications as directed and keep all follow up appointments with your ophthalmologist.
