My grandpa became blind because he didn’t do surgery on his eyes

Recently my uncle said he has what my grandpa had (ocular tension), he needs to do surgery to not lose sight

Since my uncle talked about that, I’m paranoid when I feel something in my eyes

Recently I’m tired and my eyes are dry so I feel like my eyes are tense and it makes me paranoid

I feel like I will lose my sight

I’m like even if I do surgery the surgery could go wrong and I could lose sight anyway

I’m scared

Get your eyes checked regularly. That will put your mind to rest.

I usually see a ophtalmologist once every two years

If you have a family history of it, then once a year would be a good idea

I wouldn’t worry. I would just talk to your GP about your concern. I’m sorry you’re going through this fear
