Ok

Do you a video on getting OFF of the CPAP? Does one need to be on it for life???? It’s affecting my skin, major acne and severe dry eye.

I take Iyuzeh . It has not changed my numbers ,but I do have less irritation. Do you. It gives me 19 and 24.

How do you tell things like this versus Normal Tension Glaucoma?

Can we share kmk subscription with friends?

Am using travatan, do I have to use this all the. Time.

I became allergic after a year to the preservatives in Latanoprost. I had been on Bromidine twice a day and Latanoprost once at night. I went through five weeks of hell trying to cope with horribly blood red, sore, swollen eyes to figure out what was going on. Finally, I tried going off both meds for a week, and almost overnight, my eye issues ceased. I'm now on preservative free 😊single use vials of generic Cosopt (Dorzolamide and Timilol). So far, so good.

I wake up like the picture at 1:01 every morning. So irritating

Bloody hell

Hi ! can you please put the link where we can find the KMK book or preparation exams. thank you !

hi! i take part 1 next tuesday & i havent done well on the optoprep/kmk practice exams. i got a 63 twice in a row on optoprep then 75%, 74%, & 67% on kmk in that order (taking mock 1, 2, then 3). do you think i will be ok on the exam if i cram this last week? doing the booster course now.. might get the crash course if i have time.

Hi Doc, I’m really reluctant to use latanoprost because I do not want the pic me ration & loss of fat. Can I just go right to surgery?

I can’t take beta blockers. I got massive inflammation and blood clots. My glaucoma came in two years from chronic body inflammation and taking Eliquis caused actual severe optic nerve damage

Drink cayenne pepper in water it’s healing to the eyes.

Great video and good info!

Thanks for the video! Is it common to have 1 interview per residency or would it be unusual for one residency to request multiple interviews?

I am on rhopressa and a specialty pharmacy RX of a combo of 4 drugs. Left eye is at 14 but right is at 25. I was on xalatan and a combo of dorzolamode-timolol since 2009. Worked fine until 2022. Tried these new drops for a year but had additional vision loss in right eye. Now I am 63 and have psudoexfoliation as well as normal tension glaucoma. I have a cataract so may account for visual field vision loss somewhat. I am going to get cataract surgery and gel stent implant hoping to bring that pressure down. I am scared because I don’t know what will happen with cataract surgery and psudoexfoliation surgery. I have read it’s risky. I’m just at a loss. I have never ever forgotten one drop ever in all these years. I have a touch of ocd and wouldn’t forget. I’ve had a few SLT. They worked until they didn’t. It always creeps up.

SLT isn’t bad. Just didn’t work well.

2:02 Can you point out exactly which diagrams you’re referring to as far as superior arcade thinning versus inferior

I am currently using Travoprost for my eyes, I am supposed to use it one drop per night, I have noted every time I use this eye drop, my eyes are red for 2 to 3 days. I am not consistently taking the eye drops one drop per night for that reason. I spoke with my doctor asking for switching to another eye drop, he told me to continue with this Travoprost. I am worrying that I don’t take this eye drop, my eyes will get worse, but If I use it, my eye are red. I need some advice. Thank you

Compliance was initially a problem. I put an Expo marker chart on my refrigerator to remind me to take Timolol and assure me that I did. I ended up getting SLT after about eight years anyway.

I've been through the glaucoma mill since 1992. Pretty accurate on what the various eye drops do to us. I'm currently on Timolol PF, Azopt and Rhopressa. I have trouble with exhaustion and am on other drugs for other medical problems. I'm wondering now if Timolol is affecting my heart because I have a heart murmur, but I digress. My main point in writing is that Rhopressa is a bear to take. It causes tearing that can be major. I know this because it does it to me and my pharmacist agreed that patients find it rather difficult to live with. I've got to change to something else. I'm wondering what you've researched about glaucoma being called diabetes of the brain. Plus there's new research out now that the microbiome is the basic instigator in disease formation in the body. I sure would like to hear any input on that. I watch Jesse Chappus' site on UA-cam. He interviews researchers about the latest medical solutions coming in the future. I heard about a doctor doing research putting insulin drops directly in the eye but that was before covid. I wonder what happened to that.Morer research required. I found your talk interesting.

Is blink eye drops good?

Good job guys, congratulations !

Nice success with the Optometry board.

If you are interested, I am happy to share more about law. And specific education departments clarify the definition of vision impairment. CI, amblyopia and almost all binocular vision problems which can not correct by glasses. But they don’t include optometrists in loop. Why? It is very concerning to me. I hope KMK as an education agent could play role in the educating our future optometrists. I was enjoying the KMK classes for my board exam. Thank you for all your work.

Not to brag. It has to happen in every VT practice. We change lives. I helped a college student return school after She struggled with headache for years and saw numerous specialists including optometrist and ophthalmologist. I helped patients start to enjoy reading at her age of 70. I helped middle aged patients understand how he used his vision for his life. This may bring emotions in my exam. They cried because they don’t know how hard they are working to see. Some may recall some previous unpleasant experiences and realize why they missed catch a ball and his baseball coaches called them out when he play at high school. I am now advocate for school students to get help they need. Do you know VT is related service. CI is vision impairment in education law. This law is not from our profession but it made into the federal law. But most optometrists don’t bother. Ophthalmologists have tried to removed it from the law. If we don’t dignose this vision problems and talked to school, I don’t know this law is not help our students at all.

Thank you. I am practicing referral based VT. I do not accept insurance. I code my visit for some patients who need. I just want to express my concern about our optometry as a professional. In my office, I have amazing colleagues referring patients to me. Patients appreciate her referral. I sent back to her after treatment. I asked my patients to say thank you to her referring OD because She is the hero to them. I also have some patients who referred by Other professionals or find me from internet. They are angry with their previous care care providers who never tell them the vision problems. I really don’t know What I have to say about their previous eye care providers. I could tell them that they got lousy eye exam but I often tell them because they don’t get right type tests. Am I telling them truth? But I do think it is our job and responsibility to pick up those problems and make proper referrals. I don’t think patients are really Asymptomatic. They just don’t tell optometrist because they don’t think their other medical diagnosis are related to vision. But most actually are. Anxiety depression and other mental health problems are truly vision problems which we can be helpful. I test functional vision field in every patients. ( 5% vision is central 20/20, 95% vision is peripheral vision). Everyone come to my office is tested tunnel vision. We have so much to offer in our toolbox. I have got amazing results with optometric tools. I got my patients off the medication and be very happy person. Optometry is Amazing if we learn to use the right tools ( lenses and light) which is unique to us.

It became more and more frustrating for me to see our profession do not take those binocular vision problems seriously. How many of us miss diagnosis of CI and children struggle for life. Missing CI is OK and missing glaucoma is not oK. Not saying the ocular disease is not important but binocular vision problems are equally important. The eye strain may cause those ocular emergency you mentioned in the video.

Thank you. But you missed Binocular vision problems which could cause mental health. Those diagnosis deserve high level coding during the series of visits. Just saying. Optometry not only treat eye disease but also functional vision.

Thank you for your competent presentation.Horrible diagnosis

Timolol was a nightmare for me. Made my asthma AWFUL! Then my GP prescribed steroids for asthma, then steroids were causing IOP to spike….bad cycle.

Whats the difference between 2x a day and every 12 hours?

You needed to also inform patients of potential side effects. There are dangerous side effects that patients Must be told about in order for them to know before these drops are instilled in their eyes.😅 You didn't mention Lanoprost ! 😅 I've been this prescription. I looked it's side effects.... What I read of these effects are frightening!! I, surely, will NOT use this prescription. Unfortunately, for me, my family has a history of glaucoma. I saw this Ophth😢alomogist who did my 'Visual Fields.' When I we I went in

When will there be something for those who are unable to take pharmaceuticals?

God video, thanks... So. WHY does Travatan Z give you 32~ days of drops (1 drop in both eyes/day); vs Travaprost which only gives you a 25 day supply, no matter how stingy I apply it? PS Rant: The Travaprost bottle it very hard to squeeze and falls out the tip via gravity.

I’m starting my optometry journey. This was super helpful thank you guys so much!

Hi Dr. I am from New Delhi India, I am suffering from high pressure in left eye since 6 months. 10 years ago i was injured from the broken side mirrior of the car while driving. After one year i got the cornea surgery some scar visible over the cornea. And after 8 years in 2022 suddenly eye red and visit the my Dr. And he did again surgery with IOL after cataract surgery my vision is going blurr and now i am suffering from glaucoma. My pressure is left eye 47-11 right eye in normal range. Again i got laser surgery from other Dr to control IOP but after sometimes IOP suddenly increased and very painful. Now i am using Simbrinza 2 times in a day with properly timing. What i should do for better relief. I am a 30 years old and doing work on PC. Appreciating you for well knowledgeable video.

Do you really hear what you’re saying?-- the pharmaceutical treadmill. A lot of guesswork. This drop then that drop-try this now and we’ll try that now. In the meanwhile are you really helping anybody? Do your research -be your own advocate. Don’t allow yourself to be pushed into the one-size-fits-all treatment protocol. Go to your doctor armed with information. Ask questions don’t be afraid to challenge them. See Dr. Mark Latina’s presentation on SLT 2018 and Dr. Paul Singh 2022 as well and many others.

Hi doc Iam 70 years old my left eye have kind of infection which causes high pressure in my eye my doctor gives me acyclovir 400 and 2 each day and also using drops in one eye please advise if there is any alternative thaks

Hi Dr, I am an international student with optometrist and I want to take optometry license in usa.. Could u plz tell me what are books do you recommend me for my preparation?

Ive just started taking drops at night as dr said i have ocular hypertension. I had op for glaucoma 11yrs ago and only recently had any problems. Dr said its chronic and i must now start taking. drops. But how can something thats been fine for 11 yrs be chronic.

IHi I’m from Australia. have been using Alphagan P 3x a day, plus Saflutan at night, and Refresh or ? 2x a day! for about10 years now! But it’s true what you say 😢 my eyes always itchy,dry, and RED! I see my ophthalmologist 2 a year because my pressure is under control! 9/12 from 15/24. She also done the iStent inserted in the optic nerve? And.. and.. I get so confused? But funny on the one hand! But problem is I sometimes see spiders ! That’s a problem! She said to go in emergency at once? Should try another eye drop to take away the redness! Thanks

Would multiple collapsed lung episodes from 15+ years ago still count as a lung issue with regards to timolol use today. i wouldnt want to have another collapse or create a new issue in my lungs by using timolol. Thanks for sharing your knowledge its definitely appreciated

I am a 76 years old sufferer of Glaucoma - discovered some 30 years ago, when my older sister was diagnosed. Sadly she is now totally blind. We did find that this disease seemed to be passed down though our mothers side of the family - a number of our 'old' uncles and aunts went blind in the 1950s. I have an excellent Eye Doctor, he has laser treated my eyes twice in the past 3 years in an effort to reduce the eye pressures - and it seems to work. I am taking 1 drop of Xlatan every night and two drops of Cosopt twice a day (approx 12 hrs after) After watching your video, I wonder if I should leave a little time between the two Cosopt drops? My eye pressures were 11 and 12 three months ago. I have recently seen on Facebook, a supposed 'wonder' supplement which apparently stimulates T-cells to repair the Optic Nerve damage after about 3-months - I assume this is a Scam?

I had been taking Combigan twice daily & Latanoprost once in the evening since about last June, but have been experiencing bloodshot eyes over the last several weeks, I had an appointment today & my Opthamologist believes it's an allergic reaction to the Combigan, I was advised to discontinue both, and was given a sample of Rocklatan, but also have a consult May 1st for Cataract surgery to increase drainage in the right eye as my OP was 23 & 17 in the left. I was also advised to use Systane but to take that and the Rocklatan 15 minutes apart. My Dr also said there was dryness & irritation.

I was diagnosed with open angle glaucoma 14 months ago. In those 14 months, I have gone from one medication to 4 medications. Is laser treatment next? I am taking Rocklatan and Timolol/Dorzolamode. My eyes are red but a little better with lumify.
