Glaucoma risk

2023-10-05 15:33:58
She's been pretty anxious about this for more than a month. The tests are normal and no glaucoma yet but doctor suggested she's at risk because of high pressure (24), eye structure (also high myopic) and some second degree family history (only grandfather, no other cases in family). How concerned should she be? Anything to do or prevent? Any hopes?
