Ocular Hypertension

Yep, that is what I was told. I go see an opthlamolgist on Thursday. I have one weakness, that is the eyeballs. I don't wear contacts for a reason, I can't touch my eyes. I can't even put in my own eye drops. I had pinkeye a few weeks back, and quit doing the drops because I couldn't put them in myself. I had to have my husband or daughter or even coworkers do it.

Today i wento the optometrist for an eye exam. He said my ocular pressure is high, I need to see a specialist. That doesn't mean I have glaucoma, it does mean I am at a higher risk. I did have a cousin in his 20's that had it. Through research I have found one is diagnosised with Ocular Hypertension if they have 2 exams that resulted in it. So I am praying that the next exam will be normal. I don't know how I would ever be able to do eyedrops, I don't know how. I can't do the eyeball thing, I don't want to have eye surgery or go blind because of not being able to do eyedrops. This is something I really need God's grace on. Eyes scare me, I know that is silly, but it does. I am really fearful of the outcome. I know the Lord will be with me, but I am still nervous.
