A member asked:

Eye doctor did a series of tests on my eyes today. she said in my right eye i have slight optic nerve thinning. i do have higher than normal eye pressure (27). i return for follow up in 3 months. is this glaucoma at my age or tumor, ms, etc? worried?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Glaucoma can occur at any age, testing for glaucoma includes: family health history, visual field testing, measurement of corneal thickness, gonioscopy and and OCT testing with a dilated eye exam. If you have optic nerve thinning you may have ocular hypertension but I would get another opinion with an Ophthalmologist.
