I have a family history of Glaucoma I have high myopia I have -14 number in both eyes I have thin retina due to which I see black spots in front of my eyes and also linings. Now my eye specialist told me to have check for Glaucoma as during her observation she suspected POAG but I have undergone through few tests like CCT and OCT and after seeing the report doctor said the reports are ok but still she needs reports one more test and that is humphrey visual fields afterwards she will be able to tell me whether I shud start medicine or not. I am confused and afraid right now whether I will loose my vision or am I safe. Please assist after considering all my problems.

Your doctor is doing all the right things. Please get the perimetry done. Even if Glaucoma is diagnoses, in most cases it can be controlled with drops. Very few patients go blind from glaucoma, so I would not worry about loosing your vision.
