Favorable: You have early loss with probably no functional damage at this point. Glaucoma is successfully treated with regular follow-ups and diligent use of the treatment recommended. You can do well with reasonable effort on your part. And the advice of a good glaucoma ophthalmologist.

GOOD: That response to medication is grand. Keep up meds and keep contact periodically with the ophthalmologist. You're on the right path.
