    so what's with this glaucoma stuff? my grandpa went last week cause they said he has pressure on one of his eyes. They told him to come back in 6 months to see if the pressure gets better or worse than they will put him on drops. my grandpa thinks they are just doing that cause he just turned 65 and on medicare. he always thinks dr's are full of it.

    high pressure is what causes the atrophy of the ocular nerve. tell him to take the drops and see a second optomologist, not optometrist.
