Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a group of diseases of the optic nerve involving loss of retinal ganglion cells in a characteristic pattern of optic neuropathy. Although raised intraocular pressure is a significant risk factor for developing glaucoma, there is no set threshold for intraocular pressure that causes glaucoma. One person may develop nerve damage at a relatively low pressure, while another person may have high eye pressures for years and yet never develop damage. Untreated glaucoma leads to permanent damage of the optic nerve and resultant visual field loss, which can progress to blindness.

Can a person have glaucoma and 2020 vision at the same time?
My son has congenital glaucoma and had surgery at 3 months old.
He is 4 years old now and has 20/25 vision in both eyes. Most importantly, he has no optic nerve damage and his pressures have been normal this whole time.
I believe if the problem is caught in time, 20/20 vision is certainly possible, if not very close to possible.
What would cause the hot water to be rusty and brown just in one bathtub?
Don't know that but do know this. Connect a water hose to your water heater drain valve tomorrow and water your grass or garden for 10 gallons worth.
My guess is that the pipes to this tub are black iron and are rusty on the inside. If this is not happening in any other part of your house then these pipes will need replacing.
Good answer. Draining the water heater also helps it last longer. Or, it can be also 45 year old galvanised pipes feeding the tub like are in my house. My plumbing pipes are rusting internally. That one tub may not be used very often but it's supply line is rusting inside.
How far do you have to stand at a eye examination test?
== == A VAT test is usually conducted from a distance of 8 - 10 feet. The size of the letters is what determines the assessment of eye health (i.e. 20/20).
How high must the pressure be in a person's eye in order to cause damage to the optic nerve?
A higher pressure for a long period of time will gradually start to cause damage to the optic nerve. My guess would be mid 20's and higher, but you can always ask your doctor too.
It should be fine. If your eye seems to keep getting redder then check with your doctor, you could have internal bleeding or a fractured eye, which can cause blindness or scars. It's best to go see a Optometrist and tell him/her what you did. No need to go through your doctor for this. Any bump to the eye area or eyeball itself is extremely important. Sight is everything!
