概要
What should you expect after a glaucoma diagnosis? If you’ve been just diagnosed with glaucoma and are wondering what happens next, this episode of Field of Vision with Nikki D walks you through the first steps of navigating life with this condition.
In this episode, Nikki explains what typically happens during glaucoma appointments, including eye pressure (IOP) checks, optic nerve imaging, OCT scans, and visual field tests. She also discusses how doctors monitor glaucoma over time, how treatment plans often begin with pressure-lowering eye drops, and why understanding the testing process can help reduce anxiety after diagnosis.
Having lived with glaucoma for more than 25 years and previously working as a medical and surgical technologist in an eye surgery center, Nikki shares both personal insight and practical perspective on managing this chronic eye condition.
If you’re newly diagnosed with open-angle glaucoma, worried about eye pressure readings, or trying to understand what your doctor is monitoring during visits, this episode will help you feel more prepared and less alone.
