Favorable: Wise of you to have your eyes checked because of changing visual symptoms. Often this is how asymptomatic disease is caught and your iop was clearly too high. Depending on how affected your optic nerve(s) is, visual field loss, corneal thickness, and family history, your iop reduction is definitely effective at stabilizing glaucoma. Frequent checkups are necessary.
