No Problem. My eye doctor wants to see me 4 times a year, at a minimum. Don't fool around with the eyes.
A good article on GPA and the eyes:

Re: Newly diagnosed
Hi...I have had my eye dr appointment and now have a new question.
pressure in both eyes are slightly elevated, but maintained from previous appointment.
my eye dr, did discover an “eye freckle”that wasn’t there 3 months ago. She said the freckle is associated with retina and that sometimes it is seen in MS patients.
Anyone else have eye involvement??

Re: Newly diagnosed
I have not experienced that. You are doing the right thing by contacting your doctor.
