I visited for regular eye check up where they diagnosed me with glucoma
My eye pressure with contact tonometry came 23/24 but with applanation came 28/29 with corneal thickness of 580/590. perimetry (MD L: -4.48 & R: -7.2). I hv mild occular myasthenia due to which I cant Focus for more than few seconds and can't keep eyelid upgaze for longer. This might have affected my perimetry test. As per prescription I started travoprost drops.
On second visit my pressure came down to 20/21. she added another drop(betablocker). Before starting new drop I took second opinion I visited another doctor. He again did perimetry where my results are almost normal.( L:-2.25 & R:- 0.42)Pressure was also 14/14.He did pressure test on three occasion every time it was around 14/14 w ( corrected 11/12). He said Its not glucoma, it might be occular hypertension. He prescribed to continue travoprost for sometimes & keep follow up regularly. I hv attached RNF reports. please review them and suggest,who's correct
