What's this?

Glaucoma question. My Opthamologist told me yesterday

that he now needs to see me twice a year for checks for Glaucoma. He said my eye pressure is normal but he's concerned that Glaucoma may still develop. And if it does he will prescribe drops to prevent it from progressing. Scary, but he told me that twice a year checks will enable him to catch it in time. Funny, after all of that my vision is 20/20. Which has nothing to do with Glaucoma.

Anyone else dealing with this?
