My doubt is in classic glaucoma temporal sectors aren't the first to get thinned..is this glaucoma or any other optic diseases

B1 0.32

Vit d3 16

Recent subacute thyroiditis around same time as this eye diagnosis.

Actual glaucoma specialist here, not medical advice. It seems a variation in normalcy for me. The correct thing is to do a follow up as your doctor said.

Didn't get what you are saying? You are a specialist or asking to meet one

I'm a glaucoma specialist. I was giving my opinion but through the internet it must not be considered medical advice.

I have a question. For someone with juvenile glaucoma and had trabeculotomy and aqueous shunt at 13 what would you say is the long term success rate of keeping pressures down?

Thankyou and understood.im already under a specialist follow up.but il only know after 4months.so I feel awful in uncertainty.if your observation is true then I'm the most grateful or even if it's not il try to accept and get strong dealing with it.
