My husband has had glacoma for many years. He is blind for the most part now. He can see light and some movement.

Medical technology is so good now, that if you will just do what the Dr. says and be really faithful with your meds, the prospect of having a long eyesight lifetime is great.

I don't know where you live, but get yourself to the best specialist that you you can find.
My husband is 71 and has had a host of other eye problems not glacoma related. So, you should be in good shape. One other thing, if you have children have them tested often as this is a hereditary disease. The good thing is that our children are in their forties and no sign.
If I can be of any help in any way feel free to freepmail me.

That is absolutely correct.

We can thank God for some significant technological advances that have provided us much greater insight into early damage from the elevated pressure (or sometimes, so-called normal pressure), of glaucoma. These same technologies also allow us to much better MONITOR for progression of the disease.
