Sometime in early February of this year I had an "Eye attack" which consisted of a sharp pain behind my left eye. It only lasted for 15 or 20 seconds & went away. I thought it might have been the cold weather I was out in that day so I forgot about it.
About three weeks later, the same thing happened, only this time with after effects. I was not dizzy not was my vision blurred but when I tried to walk, I was off balance & tended to fall to my left. Also, the left side of my face felt a bit numb. My balance returned the next day but I now had a feeling that there was something in my left eye plus I still had a bit of numbness in the left side of my face.

I contacted my Doctor & he examined my eye & gave me a prescription for an antibiotic which I started using. He also ordered some blood work be done & a few days later, advised me I had Type 2 Diabetes. He stated that this was probably the reason for the eye attacks.

He set up an appointment with an Eye Specialist & after he examined my eye, the Specialist stated that there was some pressure evident in or around the eye. He said I would have to return in two or three months so he could put drops in the eye to make a more accurate exam. At the time he said, "I did not say you have Glaucoma"! I am 68 years old & it makes me wonder.
Anybody have any ideas?

Thanks for reading this.
