    Well, possibly you have the start of glaucoma. If you are seeing an optician you need to be referred to an ophthalmologist for regular monitoring and treatment. Glaucoma does not automatically mean you will go blind. There are so many treatments available now. I have had glaucoma for 20 years and its well controlled with once a day eye drops. However, dont ignore the warnings.
