To add to the thread, and the bank of information.
I was diagnosed as having Ocular Hypertension about six months ago. Fair to say that I was terrified that I was going blind. However despite all my fears and paranoia it would appear things are not as bad as I first feared.
My eye pressures were 29 on the left and 30 on the right. With 16 being the norm.
I have been taking Xalatan for the last three months and the pressures have dropped to 20, and 21. The consultant said that 21 was the target reduction. So a huge bundle of relief.
The CAA have been informed every step of the way. To date they have made no demands on me or my medical, other than to ask to see the latest consultant report, and to be kept fully informed.
The CAA seem very relaxed about the condition. Relaxed as long as the pressures reduce, and stay reduced to a sensible figure.
For me Xalatan seems to have worked.
Fingers crossed.
