A member asked:

My doctor is putting me on glacoma medicine low dose for swollen optic nerves. is this the right choice? spinal tap came back fine

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: If your opening pressure on CSF tap is normal then using brimonidine can be a rational choice. First need to rule out pseudo-swelling and an ultrasound of the eye to rule out optic disc drusen is in order. Need to see an ophthalmologist for this..usually a retinal specialist
