Glaucoma laser surgery

Thanks teabagwoman.
I’m glad you cope ok.
I’m lucky too, living near a station and bus routes.
Just a matter of getting used to the idea of not jumping into the car at a minutes notice.
I will use cabs too.

I had to give up driving some time ago due to a glaucoma crisis in both eyes. Fortunately I live on the edge of a town so taxi fares don’t mount up that much. It’s inconvenient at times but less stressful and financially I’m better off.

I have glaucoma and following an in depth eye test , I’ve been told I cannot drive any more. It is a shock and I believe I’m a good, safe driver.,. I am appealing the decision and having an independent eye test next week.

Has anyone been in this situation and how did you cope. ?

I had a similar experience, laser didn't work for me either. Stronger drops made all the difference. Don't lose hope; there are still options to explore.

DH also had a trabeculectomy, his pressure is now in low single figures.

Drops and laser surgery failed to bring down the pressure in one of my eyes. I had surgery, a trabeculectomy, which did the trick. It was done as a day case and was quite straightforward.
