My Dear,
Thanks for sending your query to us.
First thing first,glaucoma suspect is a term where you do not have glaucoma but there is a preglaucoma situation which is to be observed that it should not convert to XXXXXXX treatable disease.Field charting is to be done as a baseline investigation so that progress of disease can be followed if needed.
Dryness isto be treated and you can use multivitamins to relieve strain.
Do get back to me in case of any further query in this regard.

Thank you Doctor for your revert.

But If its Glaucoma, can it be treated? I have read about the disease and it says it leads to permanent blindness.

You DO NOT have glaucoma.There is a less than borderline pressure.This condition is not treated,just keep you under observation by periodic checkup.Royal air force allows piolets to have pressure upto 21.
