A glaucoma suspect is a person in who, in the doctor’s opinion, there is a high chance of developing glaucoma. It may be due to the elevated eye pressure or the appearance of the optic nerves. Some people may have pressures that are higher than normal, but is not associated with optic nerve damage and vision loss but they do not develop glaucoma and are called ocular hypertensives. Other people have optic nerves that might appear to be abnormal, but, in fact, are normal for them.
