Went and had my eyes checked, and results were not too good. I now have Glaucome - pressure 24 with nerve damage in left eye, and pressure of 25 in right. Now have to take eyedrops for the rest of my life.

From what I've been reading, if the drops don't work, they can do surgery, as a last resort, and I know they can do it 5 times. Just found out yesterday, that 2 of my brothers were just diagnosed with Glaucoma also. It must be hereditary in our case.
