Last week I went for my annual eye exam and they sent me off for further
testing to see if I may have Glaucoma. This was not because I have any
vision loss or anything, simply based upon family history. With that said,
if I assume that my testing (which is scheduled for next Friday) says
something isn't right and they say I have Glaucoma, what does that mean for
my current medical certificate?

It doesn't mean anything for your current medical certificate, so long as
you have no vision loss.

You'll need to have your opthalmologist fill out a special form (available
on the AOPA web site) and bring that to your AME at your next physical. If
you have "open-angle" glaucoma, and there is no visual loss, he will issue
you your medical.
