Narrow angl, no glaucoma worried sick

Posted , 1 user is following.

eye doctor told me i have narrow angles and high eye pressure. I have to see a specialist now to see if I should have an iridotomy. I'm scared out of my mind. I haven't been to the eye doctor in 9 years because of my anxiety. they did a full examination of my eyes today and I had a visual field test and also scans of my optic nerve, all normal and unchanged. I'm so scared if a tumor is causing this and worried if they do other tests at the specialist they will find one. I suffer from very bad anxiety and my eye Dr told me not to worry, this is just preventative. but I'm sick with worry. any one else gone through something similar?
