Diamox kind of medicine should not be used without advise of a senior ophthalmologist. It reduces fluid in eye. Pressure of fluid in eye should not be much or low beyond limits. So pl do not be careless and ask ophthalmologist by getting latest check. During acute mountain sickness also it should be used as suggested by your ophthalmologist or the one at base camp etc.
