Glaucoma is fluid pressure in eyes

 My pressure was high, and I had sharp pains in my head. I went to the doctor, and she sent me to an ophthalmologist. My daughter, Vicki Callender took me to doctors, when I lived in Pittsburgh, Pa. The ophthalmologist sent me to the Allegheny General Hospital Ophthalmology Department in Pittsburgh, Pa. One eye went blind. I was treated, and part of the treatment was putting drops in my eyes. My cataracts were removed. I was treated about five years at Allegheny General. Then we moved to Arizona, and I have been treated about five years in Arizona. Eye drops and inspections of the eyes every few months is the treatment. One of the eyedrops is Lumigan. A thimble full of Lumigan is about $1000. A small bottle of Lumigan is $600, and it is about one half a thimble full. I just went to the doctor. The last appointment was six months ago. I’m scheduled to go to the doctor four months from now.
