Answers:
this doesn't sound like glaucoma to me!. (i've had glaucoma since i was 11 and i'm now 22)
the symptoms of glaucoma are
eye pain (your eye feels huge)
blurriness
head aches
watery eyes
sensitive to light
what it sounds like he has is a problem with his blood pressure!. his blood pressure gets too low and his vision fades out!. this can make your head hurt and you can get dizzy and feel like you might faint!.
if this is what he is experiencing then it definitely is not glaucoma!.
plus if it was glaucoma the eye dr would have been able to figure that out with a simple test so since he is being sent to a neurologist it doesn't sound like glaucoma!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Glaucome is diagnosed when the optic nerve looks damaged and your ocular pressure is high, sometimes blood vessels will squeeze and make the eye pressure go really high quickly this is very dangerous, this is called closed angle glaucoma make sure he sees an ophthalmologist as they are the expertsWww@Answer-Health@Com
