Answer 1

Glaucoma... some times takes some time to need to see the doctor. I would stay under doctor care and see him every three month.

I have not personal have any Glaucoma but have worked with a lot of pt's that do. Having the Caracts removed  is step one. Noe being able to see better might help everything else. Don;t panic stay under the doc car and always wear sunglasses

Answer 2

Your glaucoma should not "hurt or sting" - glaucoma typically is a painless disorder and only severe cases will cause pain/nausea.  Perhaps it's your eye drops for the glaucoma causing the irritation?  Talk to your doctor about this.
