Ocular hypertension at 18
I got diagnosed with ocular hypertension at 18 last October on my first visit ever to the ophthalmologist. I went because I was having bad headaches. My readings were 30 and 29 and they put me on latanoprost. My corneas were also very thick(both ~588). No optic nerve damage at all or vision loss. I also was on Zoloft at the time, and there have been studies that show that the medication can cause high pressures. I’ve been off Zoloft since this March and been to the eye doctor 3 times since October and my readings have been under 21. I don’t feel like I need to be taking the drops anymore. I also want to join the military when I graduate college and the ocular hypertension is a disqualifying factor. How do I go about telling this to my doctor and letting her know I want to stop? I respect her so much and don’t want her to think I am undermining her professional opinion. Thanks.
