Monitor: Since there very effective treatments for glaucoma, you need not be scared but be vigilant. Be sure to see your eye doctor and get your eye pressure checked at least once a year. In case of sudden onset of severe eye pain /discomfort or vision changes, contact your eye doctor immediately or go to the ER where they can find you one.
