Preventing blindness
Your cornea is too thin and yet, despite your feeling that you are losing your eye sight, currently available tonometers always read your pressure as a low pressure. It sounds like you have normal tension glaucoma.
Actually, these false measurements are due to the fact that applanation tonometers can not adequately take a measurement of your eye pressure if your cornea is thin.
