Long ago my optometrist found my eye pressures getting high and I needed
to start on Glaucoma medication. My peripheral vision is still pretty
much perfect and my pressures for probably 35 years now have averaged
from 13 to 18 usually which is not too bad (13 and 14 a month ago).

I have always needed glasses for distance but not for reading, which
is great since I spend a lot of hours reading.
