I have poag and use drops. not had drops for 2 months. see my doctor next month. has there been any damage to my optic nerve by not using drops?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: Damage occurs slowly but progressively in this disorder. Not treating it can lead to blindness. What is the reason you failed to use your drops? Discuss this with your ophthalmologist. There are other options besides drops that may be in your best interest.
