Hi, I also have Glaucoma and have been taking drops in each eye at night for two years. My doctor has taken off of drops and now isn't sure if my Glaucoma is getting worse or not. The problem is I never had a eye exam when I was younger or even in my late 30's so the eye doctor doesn't know if my eye pressure is normal for me or not. He has told me I have large eye cups what ever that means. He wants to stop my drops and then wait 8 months to have another eye exam to see if this condition has worsen.
