Some possible side effects go unmentioned here. Like lowered heart rate and insomnia both of which I'm currently dealing with.

Very helpful and informative video! Thank you Dr.

A visual test when the doctor can't read the script.... that's great

Great…. I found out today that I have narrowing angles and have to have the procedure done next month. I also have a cornea disease called Fuchs Dystrophy which requires another procedure in my future. Beginning stages of cataracts as well… it sucks getting old!🤬

just realized this video is 8 yrs old and still nothing has changed...I rest my case!

apologist for old time medicines rife with side effects ... and in the long run ineffective at preventing sight loss...but they already know this.``

Hello Dr can you please tell me if there is evidence that travoprost eye drops cause psoriasis I have open angle glaucoma and have been taking travoprost for many years.

Are these dangerous? Can they cause infection or irritation?

I don’t want another surgery in a few years! That’s a lot of money and time. I thought this video would reassure me, and instead it depressed me.

Perfect

Nice having it done next week. Don't know how they get the tube in loll

2:06 for practice

Thanks for the very informative video and complete instruction. I had this test done and was given no instruction except hit the button when you see 3 lines. To me it looked more like a vibration. I did not like getting the test done as I wasn’t explained so clearly as in this video . Now I am getting a retest using the lights instead of lines. Thanks again .. now I know exactly what to do . Much appreciated .

Hi there. Could you kindly let me know that as I've been diagnosed with glaucoma. I'll be having cataract surgery soon. After that will it be safe to have laser surgery to drain water so I don't have to use drops. Will appreciate your guidance. Thank you.

Thank you for a very clear explanation. It is much appreciated.

Can you wear your contact lenses during this examination?

Is the patient supposed to click the faint color light too or just the most pronounced light

Show constipation and loose motion?

The most uncomfortable position for patient to maintain focus,,,,especially for patients with neck shoulder back problems. 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

I noticed that NOTHINGF was saiod here about PRESERVATIVES. My OPthalmologist insiss that if I use a drop for dry eyes such as "Refresh", NEVER use one with preservatives, but neither he nor any in the past talk about preservatives in the drips he prescribes. I was told recently that the drops I use Pilocarpine, Brimodine,l Timolol etc have Thirmerosol (sP0 in them and that it causes scratching of the cornea . DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE A CLOUDINESS TO THEIR VISION ? I was told the glaucoma causes this but asnother doctor told me the preservative causes it. My straight ahead ability to read letters has no blur but only this severe haze and . Why do doctors avoid talking about preservatives ?

My Xalacom eye drop produced by Pfizer which is a combination of Timolol & Latanoprost gave me an adverse effect of Tinnitus, hyperacusis, vertigo, Major Depression, anhedonia, anxiety, insomnia, & hypotension. It's ruined my life 😡 😭

Thank you for the explanation

I was diagnosed when I was 33 and now almost 53. Both my dad and his mom had it. My dad went blind from it. I have been on lumigan for a long time. But next month, I have to go on something else. Hopefully it won't increase pressure. When I was first diagnosed, my pressure was 62 and 58 and now it is in the teens.

You failed to mention that brimonidine can significantly lower blood pressure. Pharmacist compared it to the action of clonidine.

Doctor which drops are less likely to cause blurred vision, since I've started my drops my vision has gotten so bad. It's definitely not a natural progression because it's only been since I started the drops. I take two different types of drops latanprost and brimondine

Im on truspot 3a day @ lata night ,had 11 ops over covid light sensativuty from op 4

I take latanoprost in my left eye and it’s visibly made my a little eyelid droopy over the past few years. I hate it but I still have to take my eye drop every night. Better a droopy eye than blindness 😣

I have used eye drops for 20 yeas The intra ocular was less than 18 at all tines. So many kind of tests were performed in addition to Visual Field. No test has shown evidences that eye drops cure or help or prevent glucoma getting worse. Some effort should be put to create medication to Regulate intra ocular presure

Well explained, thank you.❤

Greatly explained, especially the precautions to get an accurate reading. Thank you!

With the exception of Timolol and Latanoprost ALL the glaucoma medications make me dysfunctional: headaches, confusion, joint pain, pins and needles in hands and feet. Also, note the bad side effects of the PRESERVATIVES in these medications, especially if used long term: >> Baudouin, Christophe et al. “Preservatives in Eyedrops: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.” Progress in retinal and eye research 29.4 (2010): 312-334. Web. >> Saade, Celine E. et al. “Topical Glaucoma Therapy and Ocular Surface Disease: a Prospective, Controlled Cohort Study.” Canadian journal of ophthalmology 50.2 (2015): 132-136. Web. There is a new preservative-free version of latanoprost approved by the FDA in early 2023. www.reviewofophthalmology.com/article/fda-approves-preservativefree-latanoprost-option

Very low volume of sound inaudible

Timolol sucks, it makes you very lethargic and weak, latanoprost gives serious neck pain and migraines. My pressures have been in the mid to high 40's my entire life with no eye damage at all and I am now turning 50 and still refuse to use the drops. The way I see it if there is no change or damage in decades then I don't need the meds.

diagnosed at 21, now 26 I was slightly loss my right vision, have been using eye drops, how to minimize redness of eye while using drops

God's mercy nano-grade eye drops should be the last-ditch treatment for open-angle glaucoma because it can effectively treat blocked TM (trabecular meshwork) as well as Schlemm's canal. ua-cam.com/video/iswRngmN-cY/v-deo.html All glory belongs to God !

I say this to all of the patients in the comments. I was diagnosed at 18, now am 45. Current doctor insists on eye pressure to be at 12, but no higer than 15. She does not believe in generic drugs. Very serious person, which i totally respect. She says you have to assume that you will live to be 90-100 lol that is why you have to keep it down by all means. What i really want folks to try is a regimented diet for 2 months and see what happens. At 5'8" i was near 190 lbs (which is way to heavy for a short person). I decided on the foll...breakfast glasd of water 1st thing. Then fruits alone for breakfast (bananas, apples, paypaya, watermelon, blue berries etc)...with the smoothies added ginger & the melon was the liquid for the drink....if no melon i'd use almond milk. Lunch :peas, provisions like yam, dasheen, cassava, green figs, steamed vegetables (cooked no more than 2mins in some olive oil), salads. CUT OUT ALL MEATS, except fish. The NO NOs': No flour, fried foods, preserved foods (stuff in tins), no sugars..ZERO, no rice.the only liquid consumed was water. I went from 189/190 to 132 in the 2 months...oh no eating after 6pm...only a salad if you must and wash it down with you know what: Water. It was tough the first week and a half but my stomach just tuned in. The hunger pangs stopped. Apart from losing weight i coincidently had my annual check up & tests at the opthomologist. Ran through all the various tests as i'm sure you all do...field tests etc...her reaction when she looked into my eyes was one of awe...i could here her repeating under breath" wow...this is fantastic..everything looks so different". Long story short, i never got those sort of readings, everything was looking great....blood flow was great, eye pressure even better. My blood pressure was also way better..like a 20 yo. Other thing at the side, i used to suffer with acid reflux badly...that just stopped. I have resumed eating some stuff but i dont feel for rice again...i'd eat that and flour once a month...i remain more off of sugars (i do use one teaspoon of honey per day). I know longer call it my diet, but its just my way of life. As someone said...when you think of eating all the nonesense out there ask yourself "in a day, is eating all you can think about? Eat to live, dont live to eat." There has got to be some correlation...visit your green markets more than the grocery...those west indian & asian stores to get those provisons. If you dont know how to cook em, get online or someone who can show you.

About to get this surgery here at Brighton eye hospital in England and this video is very reassuring thank you.

Yeah and don't forget Ptosis (droopy eye) with Prostaglandin Analogues. It's a biggie and my Ophthalmologist didn't even mention it as a potential side effect. And it's well known by Ophthalmologists, and is well documented. In fact when I had my ophthalmology appointment and mentioned I'd noticed my eye drooping, his response was 'ah that will be the drops' (I had recently started). So why didn't you mention it prior doc??? And it aint written on the safety data insert either. Plus darkness under eyes, deeper eye crease and also the eye can atrophy. Pretty big potential side effects to not even mention them I reckon

Trabeculectomy should be out of date in the near future. Nano-grade eye drops should be the last-ditch treatment for POAG ( primary open angle glaucoma). ua-cam.com/video/iswRngmN-cY/v-deo.html

This video is ironic because I just took my eye drops for glaucoma just now.

sounds scary

I have glaucoma in both of my eyes and I have to take eye drops every day 4 times. Brimonodine, pilocarpine, latanaprost, and dorzolomide timiolol are my glaucoma eye drops.

My right eye was easy but my left eye took a few more "hits" and I feel like my iris is lighter and, one day later, im still somewhat dilated. Am I losing my mind or can this be a possibility?

Dear doctor..I am using the eye drops since Iam 19and Iam 22 now..iam having red eyes after start using them..is there any way to reduce the redness of the eyes

Highly recommend anyone receiving early signs of glaucoma results to seek a second option ! I did and turned out the tests I had with original ophthalmologist showed ( a high pressure number, 26 ) ... SECOND OPTION: it was just thick corneas !

I am struggling with this test. Any tips? I think my lens are incorrect.

I was diagnosed with glaucoma when I was 9 years old and I've been taking eye drops for 18 years to control my pressures in my eyes. I just want to see my eye doctor and so far my glaucoma is stable. Only thing I have to do is get a retinal scan on June 30th to see if glaucoma affected my retina too.

i had this surgery last month only takes a few minutes..only side affect i had was blurred vision which got batter after 30 minutes
