Regarding the treatment for Glaucoma I would advise all to look at this
Morfields site.... http://www.moorfields.co.uk/EyeHealth/Glaucoma
It explains about eye drops and surgery.
The first a lot of people know about the onset of Glaucoma is a blinding
pain behind the eyes.

All I had was a feeling of pressure in my eye.

This is why when you have an eye test you also have
the pressure measured.

If you have any doubts regarding your eyes you can see your Doctor(If you're
lucky) or visit your local Ophthalmic optician who if he/she has any doubts
can refer you direct to your local Eye hospital or ophthalmic dept.
It's often a lot quicker to visit the optician than the doctor, and your
optician has a lot more training and experience with eyes than your GP has.

That's good advice.
