Yup, yup. I have glaucoma. In just the left eye until lately. The glaucoma responded well to an Xalatan eye drop nightly for the last 5 years or so. UNTIL I agreed early this year to using Advair for my COPD and a Medrol Dose Pack. Now the right eye has glaucoma as well. And while the Xalatan appears to be controlling the pressure in both eyes the pressure in the left eye is 2 above what it has been maintaining at w/the Xalatan all these years.

Oh My Gosh!

I had no idea that Glaucoma had any relation what so ever to Sleep Apnea, My Husband
Scott was diagnosed with Glaucoma roughly 3 years ago now & I've noticed his lack of
breathing - breath (take your pick, they're both scary) within the last year to 2 years now.
I am so going to be on his case & our D**** of a Dr.'s case as well.

We've only been to-gether 20 years, we have so much more to learn about each-other still.
Besides he's not getting out of re-newing our vows so easly....lol
