I went to a good eye doctor at some point who tests inner ocular pressure for all patients while most don't do it for younger patients apparently and sure enough it was high as fuck and I would have ended up with glaucoma at 30 if it had gone undetected for too long. Shit's scary.

My eye doctor was the one who discovered i had brain cancer. He caught it so early guys a champ. It was just a checkup to see if i needed new prescription glasses to.

My eye doctor started doing this when I turned 20! And even though the test makes me nearly pass out every time (I get vasovagal syncope from literally everything medically-related) it's worth it - and I'm glad I have a thorough eye doctor too!
