Q: i have been told that i am at high risk for glaucoma. i now am having sharp pains in my right eye and blurry vision. do i go to the hospital?

: You can, but do you have an Ophthalmologist that treats you. Did you have any insult to your eye. Do you were contact lenses. I would seek out services of an Ophthalmologist. ASAP

Yes, even if you were not high risk for glaucoma, anytime that you have high pain and a change in your vision, you should have immediate attention. Good luck.
