You have my sympathy, friend. Hopefully your next appointment goes as well as mine did - not only is the pressure the lowest measured since starting my annuals, but my nearsightedness improved and my prescription doesn't need to be as strong! Don't get me wrong, they'd still be "coke bottle" lenses if it weren't for high index polycarbonate, but it's still a win in my book.
Actually my last visit last year had pretty good eye pressure. Hoping it is a trend not an anomaly. Just annoying, time consuming, and expensive to have to track as closely. Plus when your border line for maybe 5 years you wonder when things might get worse.
Edit: My vision has been improving with age too for awhile now at least in terms of optical power.
Because of the monitoring nature of the exams, I'm able to submit the exam cost to my health insurance to cover what vision insurance doesn't. This might be something you're able to do as well to help defray some of the associated costs.
And here's hoping lower pressure is a trend for both of us going forward!
