Hi traciboop,
I've never had glaucoma, but each time I have an absence (petit mal) or complex partial sz. my pupils dialate which is normal when a person has a sz. You might want to speak to your neuro about trying the drug Diamox it's used for epilepsy and glaucoma I've been taking it for many yrs. and it works great. I've been told over the yrs. that certain AED's (sz. med) can cause problems with some peoples eyesight. I know that when I took tegretol my eyesight got really bad. I've had epilepsy for 36 yrs. now and I've found diamox a great help. If you do go on diamox I want to let you know that you can't take asprin. Only tylenol. Here's wishing you well and May God Bless You!

Sue
