I went to the eye Doc for a fresh exam and new glasses. he noticed elevated pressure and sent me to another place for more specific testing. Nutshell: Glaucoma is developing. He didn't seem to worried about it and said he'd check it again in a couple of months and would likely prescribe meds via eyedrops. I'm doing some reading online to get schooled. I don't know how long my eyes will be ok for driving.

Did you get official diagnosis ? Everytime i get the pressure test, they say "you need to be tested for Glaucoma" $200 later at Specialist office, i don't have it. But next pressure test, i get the "you need..." speech, even thou i tell them i don't...
If you do have it, eye drops is usual med, your night vision suffer a bit but it's got to get bad before you get sidelined -
Agree with ci. Let's get the diagnosis first. I've been told I have high eye pressure just from working out. The internet can be scary.

Yep. It's confirmed. Just caught me unawares. Eye drops in the near future.

Sounds like you caught it early... hopefully it should be manageable for loooong time
