Glaucoma.....................?I went to get an eye exam the other day and they tested for glaucoma. They blew the air in my eye but i jumped back after they did it for both eyes.

"The first thing he did was to prod test, and he says 'who among your family has glaucoma?' and I said, 'what is glaucoma?' And that was the start." When drops didn't work to keep the pressure down on his left eye, Ken has traditional surgery, years later, when it came time to do the other eye, Dr. Howard Barnebey took a newer less invasive approach.
