In August, my eye dr. suspected she saw a "narrowed drain angle" (caused by enlarged lens in one eye, which she said tends to happen as we age) and asked me to come back in October for a gonioscopy exam. She said that if the drain angle becomes blocked, I could develop sudden acute angle glaucoma. If the gonioscopy confirms the condition is present, I will need eye surgery to make a new drain hole.
Has anyone else experienced any of this? To the best of my knowledge, no one in my family has had glaucoma. Of course 3 of my grandparents died before they were my age, so who knows what they would have come down with if they'd lived longer.
