Question 1 : Will the booster jab affect my glaucoma or eye pressure?

There is currently no evidence that it is dangerous for people with glaucoma or high eye pressure to have a COVID-19 vaccination. This includes the Pfizer, AstraZeneca or the Moderna vaccines.

Question 2 : Q: My appointment has been cancelled. I’m a bit worried about not having my pressures checked. Is there something I can do?

A: You could contact your local optometrist (optician) to ask if they would be willing to check your eye pressure.  They may charge you for this.  You can then tell your consultant the result of this test and they can decide if you need to be seen early.

Question 3 : Q: My appointment has been cancelled or delayed. Should I be worried?

A: If your glaucoma is well controlled with eye drops and there has been no deterioration, having your routine appointment delayed to a later date shouldn’t cause problems. It’s important to be extra diligent about taking your eye drops at this time.
