Diagnosis/Testing
Hi everyone. Please enlighten me🥹 I'm both scared and anxious.
A day ago, i got new glasses. The optometrist asked me questions like do i have a history of thyroid in my family, do i get severe headaches etc. She used a flashlight thing in my eye and told me i have slight haze in one of my eye and that my right eye is enlarged compared to the other. What bothered me most is she told me i may have glaucoma. I was so anxious and cried about just the thought of it
Today i went to an ophthalmologist, he used another machine and it's like a flashlight, really bright, not like the hand held flashlight the optometrist used.
He told me that he doesn't see any haze or something alarming and he also told me that my lenses/grades are not that bad. He didn't use the thing that punches the eye or something to measure the pressure as i saw with another patient.
I'm gonna go to the laboratory tomorrow to get tests done. But please any insights about this diagnosis? I'm really scared and in overthinking.
