A member asked:
What can i do if my girlfriend is 18 and has glaucoma. will she inevitibly go blind?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Most forms of glaucoma can be treated but it takes active cooperation between the glaucoma doctor and the patient. A few , but rare , progress despite the best of care. Most likely your girlfriend will do well.
