Let me know in the comments below if you or anyone you know has been diagnosed with glaucoma, and what glaucoma treatment are you on or have you had? 👇
i have eye floater and sometimes eyestrain and dry eyes went to doctor and he said that the floater come from stigmatism and describe me a glasses and gingko biloba to cure eye floater over time but he didnt do deep eye scan for gloucoma how i know that i dont have the gloucoma in first stages ?
@@davidfriesen7748look up glaucoma plant-based diet here on UA-cam or the internet and you'll find hundreds of stories of people putting their glaucoma into remission as long as they stay on the diet
I have a glaucoma and I underwent a surgery where 4 valve were planted in my eye. This year doctors found out that 2 of the valve are no longer working and the pressure of the eye is now increasing. They told me they have to remove them and replace them with the new ones. My problem is that I'm scared but at the same time I want to do it, it's just that the risks are high.
There is no cure AT THE MOMENT. But research is being done and the progress that has been made is very encouraging. Trials are under way for lots of different possibilities to halt the progression of glaucoma and to regenerate dead cells in the retina.
You're right. There's no more for glaucoma. I've had glaucoma for the past 10 years now and I am using 3 kinds of eye drops and have done SLT treatment. Still, my IOP is high. I have false information that will only give us false hope.
I see clearly your video and read comments. As you say there is no cure is bothersome. Myself I look at you as hope, I will watch your videos regardless. Your videos showing complicated figures will be lot helpful in universities. I had my cataracts done several years ago and I can see lot better. Thank you and well wishes.
You are very knowledgeable and explain well. The trabeculectomy blinded my mother. The Dr tried to say it was the disease. I asked. Then why could she see when she walked in, then blind when wheeled out and after? Very Informative passing your info on to a friend. THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCES. Extremely thoughtful❣️
Very informative I have a trace, using timolol and I thought it could cure just learning there's no cure,I will contact to I'll continue to watch your program thank you 🙏
I had the surgery a few days ago. Your information helped me to understand the knowledge I needed. I have heard of glaucoma but your information is an eye opener.
I was a diabetic since 2012 within a reading of 13 then. I was put on medication and after 6 yrs, it gone down to 8 but remained there. It was during then that I was diagnosed with retinopathy which caused floaters in my eyes and sometimes it blocks my vision. I had several laser treatment to stop the bleeding on the retina of both eyes and after 3 lasers a piece, the bleeding stopped coupled with my ability to bring my diabetes lower than 8. Since 2019, I adopted drinking of resonated water and my diabetic level had fallen since and is now around 5.5 - 5.8 which occasionally dropped to 5.0 or even 4.9. Irony is prior to 2018, I was on strict non-carbo diet but since 2019 I start taking carbon again which is a standard for Asian cooking. While treating my retinopathy from 2015, I was also checked for glaucoma each time I go to the doctor, about once quarterly. My reading on both eyes was in the region of 12.5 to 15.5 since. Is this a concern?
Today I'm diagnosed with glaucoma, as a medical student, I'm shocked when I'm thinking about this disease and the impacts it could make on me. The good news is that I'm asymptomatic. So I'm going to start with eyedrop treatments awaiting an eventual definitive treatment discovered by any great researcher.
I hope that researchers can find a cure soon, I was diagnosed with glaucoma at 16 and have done laser surgeries and trabeculotomy on both eyes and one needling, I’m currently 17 having my second needling this Tuesday and I’m scared and exhausted because at this point, it’s hard to live with this eye condition as it causes me to skip school a lot for check ups that are mostly twice a week and the surgeries that make me see blurry for a while.
I have mild glaucoma - have had cataract surgery both yes, now I use 3 drops every day, and had laser treatment - the one where dr does the laser light treatment
Actually there are a few different types of glaucoma. She briefly mentions Narrow-Angle Glaucoma which I was diagnosed with. It is caused by my anatomy. As we grow older our lenses become larger, thicker and hard as rock so if you have narrow angles, like me, the large lens is so big in a small eye, like mine, that it blocks the outlet of aqueous fluid from the eye can lead to Acute Closed- Angle Glaucoma causing a rapid build up of pressure which can lead to blindness very quickly which is why this type of Glaucoma is a medical emergency. I developed Closed-Angle Glaucoma Whixh had not yet reached the Acute stage so the only way to cure my glaucoma was to have preventative cataract surgery, involving the removal of my own lenses and replace them with Intra-occular lenses which are smaller, eliminating the possibility of pressure build-up. This type of Glaucoma is rare and is based on having a particular type of anatomy. Small eyes, larger( and older ), lenses, being long- sighted and having narrow-angles. Although I still have Narrow- Angles, they cannot become Closed-Angles. I would never have known I had Glaucoma but for my regular checkups.
hello to you, what about the iridotomy? I am in a similar situation and had double iridotomy done about 5 years ago, it lowered my IOP significantly and first of all, it opened my angles. Together with eye drops, my IOP went down from 20 to 9-10 during the day, and from 28 to 12-14 at ca 4AM. No cataract surgery, though there were such suggestions from some doctors.
I had the omni procedure done on my second eye a week ago. Yayy, no more rhopressa. I had laser surgery first but several years ago. The omni procedure was done along with cataract surgery. My pressures were around 8 this morning, down from 18 or so
@suzanneemerson2625 I have my pressure checked every 3 months by my eye doctor for 1 year after surgery then every 6 months in my second year. Both eyes stay around 9 MM since surgery
Before I was diagnosed with Glaucoma in my right eye I was diagnosed with KERATITIS virus in the same eye, approx. 10 years before. Will this virus impact my glaucoma?
Excellent tutorial. You mentioned laser surgery techniques for open and closed angle conditions may be ineffective for some. What are those cases ? Thx
I had an iridotomy done for close angle. My pressure was 18,19 before the prrocedure. I have 20/20 vision. Use readers only. After the treatment both eyes IOP went up to 23,24 and I see crescent flashes of light in both eyes. Now doctor wants to do SLT. Is this normal? I have asked to have a follow up IOP pressure test before SLT.
Dr, what is the expected outcome with SLT for primary angle glaucoma? Is it the idea that once SLT is done, it will help get rid of the tiny granules that break off at the back of iris? As the tiny granuels break off and block the trabecular meshwork causing increasing in eye pressure because the aqueous fluid drains slowly, Should the SLT procedure help clear the broken granuels that block trabecular meshwork? From what I understand, the effect of SLT wears out after 3-4 years. Is the idea of SLT to be repeated or is it to target the blocked trabecular meshwork so that it clears up and no more blockage should form? Please advise. I have severe glaucoma and doing my own due deligence, checking for opinions from experts. By the way, I am already seeing an opthamologist to manage my glaucoma.
Dra. después de mi cirugía por glaucoma, me quedó muy borrosa mi visión, creí que duraría sólo la recuperación, pero no se me quitó; hace 2 años que me operaron el ojo derecho y veo muy borroso, aunque me pusieron un lente interno, y uso lentes para leer… es normal que con la cirugía vea uno más borroso que antes de esta? Gracias por su respuesta.
I have had the trabecluloplasty, laser surg. I am going to see my doctor about the MIGs surgery since the others have not worked. How long does this surgery take . Can I have it done without being anesthesia. Imhad cataract surgery and they just used some kind of drops and I did not feel any pain just a little pressure.
Eye pressure was 71! Was seeing rainbows around lights and haziness. Acute angle closure was my diagnosis. Emergency Laser surgery was done that day to prevent stroke in eye. Combigan and prednisolone acetate drops given with follow-up appt.
I am from sierra leone my six years daughter was diagnosed with glaucoma yesterday and i have no idea and i need help and how can i know the type of glaucoma was diagnosed
Glaucoma. The simplest method for determining increased pressure in the eye or glaucoma is eye palpation. To determine the pressure in the eye, a palpatory method is used, based on a comparison of pressure and elasticity of the eyes in a sick and healthy eye: The patient closes his eyes and looks down, and the examiner puts the index fingers of both hands to the eyelids above the cartilage and lightly presses on the eye alternately with each finger. When comparing the tone (density) of a healthy and diseased eye, an impression is created about the pressure level in the diseased eye. Finger tonometry - an ophthalmologist gently presses his fingers on the patient's closed eyes, checking the properties of the eyeball, comparing an overly elastic diseased eye with a healthy one of normal elasticity. How to reduce pressure in the eye. It is best to start washing and massaging your eyes thoroughly every hour under the shower or tap with water, until the sore hard eye becomes soft, like a healthy one. It is even better to take a shower for 5-10 minutes and wash your eyes, head, ears, face and neck thoroughly, preferably under contrast!!! a shower. It is useful for improving the vascular system of the eye and everything. A strong shower jet also massages the eyes, head, ears, neck, chest, helping the outflow of lymph from the face, and hence from the eyes. Strong jet and massage movements of the eyes and head improve blood flow and lymph flow. At the same time, we constantly close our eyes under water, and rinse them, massaging the eyes, face, ears, head, neck, etc., thereby squeezing out excess fluid from the eyes through clogged with blood, inflammation, sugar, or retrograde (reverse) movement of blood after venous stagnation of the spongy filtration trabecular network, which removes 85 percent of the excess fluid there is a channel from the eyes to the Helmets, which, for various reasons, poorly removes fluid from the eye, and as a result, the pressure in the eyes increases, more often in one. It becomes elastic to the touch and it is necessary to take immediate action. This is the same as a clogged outlet of water from the sink, which can only pour out slowly, but
@@suzanneemerson2625 Glaucoma. If glaucoma is diagnosed or you have determined by palpation that one eye is more elastic than the soft healthy one, urgent measures must be taken. 1 Improve the rheology of blood and lymph. Strict minimal diet, no sugar, flour, potatoes, strong coffee, alcohol, etc. In short, DIET Diabetes 2 or similar, reduce the volume by 2 times. Cups on the back daily, leeches, at least one every 1-3 days. Walking for at least 20 steps, closing your eyes one by one, squeezing fluid out of the eyes, and a lot of exercises to improve lymph flow and relieve venous stagnation, during which retrograde blood flows into the Schlemm canal and even into the trabecular meshwork, which mainly removes fluid from the eyes. .2 Contrast shower twice for 10 minutes to return the vascular system to normal and improve lymph flow; when washing the face, ears, neck, head, chest, lymph flow improves, and therefore the outflow of excess fluid from the eyes. 3. In case of crisis, wash your face and eyes until the elastic, diseased eye becomes as soft as the healthy one. Pathways for fluid drainage from the eye 1 Trabecular through Schlemm's canal (main) 2 Uveoscleral 3 Uveolimphatic 4 Vitreal It is worth noting the important property of the trabecular apparatus as a “self-cleaning” filter!!!, caused by the transtrabecular fluid flow, which creates the prerequisites for the passage of relatively large conglomerates [80, 102]. Intraocular fluid passing along the “uveoscleral branch”, i.e. intertrabecular, does not create similar conditions for the formed elements contained in it. “The possibility of large protein molecules leaving the cavity of the eyeball is due to the unusually high permeability of the vessels of the sclera and choroid due to the strongly pronounced perivascular space. Large protein molecules are removed from the perivascular spaces through structures histochemically similar to lymphatic ones” [28]. Recent work convincingly proves the existence of structures characteristic of the lymphatic system in the choroid of the eye, including the ciliary muscle [75]. The lymphatic system contributes to the drainage of aqueous humor and the use of the term uveolymphatic pathway is justified[182]. There is a proverb - water will find a hole, improve the rheology of blood and lymph, improve the vascular system, squeeze out excess fluid from the eyes, for example, by washing the eyes every hour, and massage and alternately closing the eyes, leeches, cupping, hijama, walking 10 thousand steps, exercises for lymph flow and everything is back to normal.
Thank you. I managed to reduce my blood pressure after the operation in a month from a critical 27 to a normal 19 in less than a month. I didn’t use drops for glaucoma, only for an infection after a victrectomy operation to remove blood from the vitreous... At first the doctor scolded me for not using drops against glaucoma!!! (but maybe this is not superfluous), and then measuring the normal pressure, He said everything was great!!! They tried to treat hemophthalmos, hemorrhage in the vitreous body with GEMAZ injections, which is not very effective, and in another hospital a month later, they sucked the blood out of the vitreous body, victrectomy... This is a super operation!!! If the vitreous body of the eye is heavily damaged by blood, GEMAZ injections are ineffective, only pumping out the blood and filling the vitreous body with saline solution, the sooner the better!!! Until the platelets settled and thickened and destroyed the retina... What saved me was that it was a month before the victrectomy operation, every other day I put on one leech and followed a strict diet, otherwise I would have lost my eye!!! When placing a leech, just one, after an hour I measured the sugar, from 8.5 the sugar dropped to 4.4 or 5.2... And in general, when following the diet, the sugar generally returned to normal!!! And before it didn’t fall below 6.5... I didn’t expect this effect from leeches... I recommend it to everyone, since almost all eye diseases are caused by high blood sugar....from venous retrograde (reverse) movement of blood into the trabecular spongi network that removes excess fluid from the eyes 85%... For inflammation of the excretory canals... or eye surgery... It is necessary to at least palpate to check whether the eye is solid, compared to a healthy one, if so, then immediately take measures: shower, wash face with eye massage, alternately closing the eyes, massage the face, ears, around the eyes, if possible (not after surgery) then just gently squeeze out excess moisture from the eyes, best in the sea, pool, shower, when washing your face many times a day during a crisis, ...cupping, leeches!!!, hijama... But the most important thing is diet, food restriction reduced by half, or intermittent fasting!!! Proper periodic breathing to improve blood rheology and vasodilation.
@@matios6013 How I cured glaucoma after surgery... Most doctors are not diagnosticians and do not look for the causes of the disease, but treat not the cause, but the symptoms... And they treat according to the plans of insurance companies, and for them a step to the left or to the right is execution... And they do not deal with disease prevention and the eradication of the causes of the disease at all... First, Reduce gluttony, especially sweets, flour, fatty foods, alcohol... .. improve and strengthen blood vessels, improve blood rheology, and if you do not know how to improve the flow of fluid from the eyes and the movement of lymph from the eyes, then simply wash your face many times a day, sometimes with cold, sometimes with hot water, squinting your eyes, when washing your face, all movements are aimed at the outflow of fluid from the eyes and lymph from the eyes, even better are trips to the pool, even better in the sea, but constantly diving and immersing your face in water, and then washing off the water from your eyes and face. Putting leeches is just super, they improve blood, lower sugar, the main cause of all eye diseases ... Pollution, most often with blood of Trauber's spongy canals that remove 85 percent of the fluid from the eyes into the Schlemov canal, cannot be cured otherwise if you do not improve the lymph flow ... !!! Walk a lot, while squinting your eyes in turn, helping the fluid to come out of the eyes. Our blood is moved by the heart, and lymph only large muscles work well during movement and various exercises. Movement is life !!! At least 10 km a day must be walked, if it is slippery, then at home do equivalent exercises squinting your eyes in turn, and doing other eye exercises, of which there are many on the Internet, if there is no eye injury, then a gentle massage of the eyes and around, if there is an injury or after surgery, then only squinting in turn !!! Rubbing the entire body, especially the neck, head and face, with a towel stretched between the hands helps a lot, until the ears are red and burning, this is a sign of good blood flow to the head, and therefore the eyes!!! The rheology of the blood is also improved, and especially the movement of lymph is improved by the use of vacuum cups... ua-cam.com/video/DWamy72Eamw/v-deo.htmlsi=qA5a5WfO97tMa253 Fyodor Karmatsky has a lot of useful information, including eye massage and the use of leeches, and a lot of useful information... youtube.com/@dr.karmatsky?si=BUedNs1K81YTbPnm Here is an excellent Doctor Bozhev, he recommends a simple method for reducing intraocular pressure, by palpation and squeezing excess moisture out of the eyes... ua-cam.com/video/T6YuUCgTl5c/v-deo.htmlsi=pRQxtcYq9daiONB2
I have been diagnosed with Glaucoma 4 years ago. I am taking Louten Emulsion Latanoprost 0.005% at nights and Poentimol 0.50% ( Timolol 0.50%) 2 times per day.
Thank you for this video. I have ocular hypertension. I have been on lanaprost? once a day drops for 2 years with good reduction in my pressure. This year, after drops seemed to be becoming ineffective, my doctor did the quick, in office Lazer treatment to allow more drainage. At first, it was great, then after we did the second one 6 weeks later, my pressure in the first eye was back up to 22. I am wondering if I can get better drops or have a different surgery? I am only 60 and am afraid of the future health of my eyes. I am on a CPap and am diligent about my drops, but sometimes when I take the drops before bed can vary between 11 pm and 1 am. I appreciate your videos.
I am not able to give you personal medical advice without examining your eye. In general, in addition to laser glaucoma surgery, there are different glaucoma eye drops with different mechanisms of action, and MIGS surgery to control eye pressure for people with glaucoma. I hope this helps.

Get into the shower for 5-10 minutes and thoroughly wash your eyes, head, ears, face and neck, preferably under a contrast shower to improve the vascular system. A strong jet and massage movements of the eyes and head improve blood and lymph flow. At the same time, you constantly close your eyes under water, and wash them, massaging the eyes, face, ears, head, neck, etc., thereby squeezing excess fluid from the eyes through clogged with blood, inflammation, sugar, or retrograde (reverse) movement of blood after venous stagnation of the spongy trabecular network, which removes 85 percent of excess fluid from the eyes into the Shlemov canal. If you can’t get into the shower, you can thoroughly wash your eyes, face, head, ears, neck every hour, preferably with water, to improve all the blood vessels and capillaries of the eyes and everything else. It is also necessary to provide a diabetic with gentle nutrition 2 to improve the rheology of the blood and lymph. Also useful in times of crisis and not only daily cupping, for example on the back, but once a week cupping (hijma) and the most effective once every three times for cupping, at least one leech, first on the navel, or near the sacrum, this is also close to the liver, and then closer to the head to the neck and even to the head. This also immediately reduces and normalizes blood sugar; you can check it by measuring your sugar before and after applying leeches and canes. You will be pleasantly surprised by the results. To remove venous congestion, which is often the cause of glaccoma, and to improve lymph flow throughout the body, various exercises also help ua-cam.com/video/4mrpcvFYMBk/v-deo.htmlsi=vJ1ccsAyj6ThPE01 you need to perform them in the morning and several times a day.
Is there any glaucoma surgery for a patient who has to rely on azopt and brimolol eye drops. He is not possible for glaucoma surgery because he ia psychotic patient not complying doctor's instructions. His other eye had lost vision due to an injury. May I have any suggestion.

Hello, I'm 19 years old and I'm diagnosed with glaucoma. If i proceed with any of the treatment described here, how long will it take before I'll loose my vision? Please anyone answer 🙏🏻
Without treatment between 10 and 15 years according to studies. With treatment the progression is much slower and you will probably never lose all vision. Treatment is very important!! and never lose faith.

Thank you for this video Dr. I was recently diagnozed with glaucoma and was prescribed lanaprost but is allergic to this meds so I stopped the meds.I have an appointment next week with the eye doctor.
Have have glaucoma on one of my left eye, only about 1/8 view left and 7/& is lost, my treatment Is using eye drop , my vision now depend only on my right eye. Can let me know, will I get blind in future or can my right eye help me view for forever till I die ? Is scary issue for me .
Dear God we pray 🙏 for healing of all eye problems thank you for meds and wisdom of Doctors but Jesus you are the healer and deliverer❤❤❤ amen.Glory to God ❤
Mam, I have undergone Glaucoma surgery in both my eyes before 6-7 years and the IOP remains ok till now. Till the operation I had lost more than 50% peripheral vision due to damage of optic nerves. Mam,is there any procedure or treatment to reclaim these damaged optic nerves.
How do we know our eye pressure is fine and is in control ? If we don’t know, then is very very risky, does any invention lately to let self check or sense to feel that our eye pressure is fine. As I am applying eye drop, and must make appointment to let doctor to check, this can be too late!
I was diagnosed with early glaucoma in one few months ago (hereditary), few spots were noticed in right eye after the test and yesterday I had laser procedure on that eye. If it worked I will check in September and I hope this will help me to avoid taking drops for a number of years. The eye pressure was between 15.9 to 21.9 (right eye), left between 12 and 15.
Doctor i am 52, had a surgical operation 4 years ago to correct glaucoma in one of my eyes while continued to use eye drops in the other eye. However, recently during my reviews at my ophtalmologiste, it became clear that i am losing my vision in the eye I had surgical operation while in the eye i have been using eye drops my vision has remained intact or perhaps much better. My question is what should I do to stop my gradual vision loss in the eye I had glaucoma surgery ? Please, any suggestions. My ophtalmologiste seems not to have any answer. I am really worried, please help. Thank you (UK)
Hi doc I'm 70 years old my right eye persure went up 4 years oga Ivisit eye doctor and I have laser Iwas OK for awhile but again right persure went up since then many times Iwisited doc any they say there's kind of infection on your eye and they say you should eat Acyclovir 400 2time aday Iwant to know if there's any alternative please advise many thank
I can’t give personal medical advice on this platform. In general acyclovir and valacyclovir are medications prescribed to treat viral infections in the eyes. Viral infections in the the eye can cause increased eye pressure, and often need close follow up with a qualified eye doctor.
So approximately in 2021 I was totally lost 50% of my eye vision glaucoma I have been doing eyedrops and I did the laser surgery recently I got a severe concussion and it caused me to get more blurred vision I'm interested in your third option I I'm truly concerned I don't want to lose my eyesight I went to four different doctors I don't feel safe to be honest I don't know what to do I live in eastern Oregon really close to Boise Idaho any suggestions
hello friend. i know a lot because i come from a family of all medical people and i have been dealing with vision loss for over 50 years. of course that does not make me in any way qualified to advise you on your symptoms, but i have some 100 % solid gold advice for you. get seen and treated by the best people out there. and how do you find the best people out there ? here are a few true facts about doctors, told to me by my brother the doctor. some of them are hackers and you are taking a chance being treated by them. they were asleep in med school or maybe they just aren't that smart. there is usually a reason a doctor is in a small town, and it usually is that they couldn't get hired in the top hospitals or clinics. you want to go to a university hospital ( teaching hospitals ) or a big name clinic. i live in seattle and i see several doctors, all at the university of washington. big name clinics are mayo clinic, cleveland clinic, etc. when my eyesight tanked, i went to a local clinic. they advised me to get surgery, but something didn't smell right, so i skedaddled. ten years later, i still have not needed that surgery. what was the difference in treatment plans ? well, i think the first local clinic was trying to generate money from surgeries. i ended up at UW, where they are not working to keep their practice afloat. it is a different patient focus.
Please i am 22 and it was said that my glaucoma is advanced, my pressure have been consistently low since i started treatment, how long do i have till i start loosing vision ?? Will i lose vision??
You won't loose vision. Take care of the presure. Take a good dose of Vitamin C, B2, B1,B12 and pray. Really connect with God is so calming and healing. This is what a friend does with that diagnosis and is getting better

Good afternoon doctor am from Guyana when to eye doctor I have to ask what happened to my eyes she said it swollen at the back of my eyes they not giving me no eye drops only taking vitamins tablets one eyes gone through and it started on the next eye I so stressed out
Um...yeah...high pressure causes glaucoma...that's the theory. It's the theory because eye pressure is the only "controllable" risk factor. Okay ..sure...it's a risk factor if your pressure is maybe over 30. But most doctors will insist on getting the eye pressure down to 12-15. Multiple eye drops, much follow-up, then laser treatments, then surgery...with all the concomitant side effects that themselves are then eye diseases that need treatments. "ALL ABOARD!" The studies that justify this industry all use the most sophisticated statistics that'll have an undergraduate math major's head spinning. First they do a "multi-center double blind" study that uses only a few hundred eyeballs and that then gets wittled down to maybe two hundred for various reasons. Then when the results show only the smallest statistical significance, they do a " follow-up" study where they wittle away yet again at the sample size by using what's called "intent to treat" shananagans getting it down to under two-hundred eyes so that they can get a little bit higher a correlation so that this multi-BILLION dollar industry can be "justified". There are other theories about causes for glaucoma and really, those other theories ring more true than the eye pressure theory. But again, eye pressure is the only risk factor that can be controlled. So..."ALL ABOARD"!!
It's a slippery slope. I'm in hopes of the eye drops keeping my IOP down. This 70 year old battling open angled the past decade has my fingers crossed.
@@milkhoney694 There's something called Google. But for one, how about toxic neuropathy. How about the "we're not 'entirely' sure what causes glaucoma, but..." answer. Then there's the, and this one you got to love, "we're not 'entirely' sure why lowering eye pressure reduces the rate of progression..." But man...those "researchers" love their numbers, their statistical probability manipulations. Oh, and their "cha-ching" numbers. Ah yes...the DROPS gravy train.
He can try Nicotinamide (vitamin B3) 😮supplements 500mg per day. It helps for people who have already sight loss because of glaucoma, and prevents further sight loss. You can google and get all the information on Nicotinamide(vitamin B3).
He can use eyedrops for glaucoma , one drop in every eye every Morning and evening. The problem with most eyedrops is that the preservative in it(namely Benzakonium chloride) causes dry and very itchiness and inflammatory eyes. Benzakonium chloride was already banned in Europe, also for using in baby wipes and sanitizer is it banned in Europe.

Ok Dr Audrey l have a eye 👁🗨 doctor. He said my baby clocoma still a baby no need surgery. His always cheking my eyes every month. He gave me only 👁🗨 drops for dry eyes. That's why when l saw you in UA-cam. I'm impressed about your drops for clocoma. Thanks if want to give me the name of medicine pls and thank you.l want to try.
Hello, I was just listening to what you were saying and I really think as others have suggested that how you title your hot hot on Glockoma is misleading it makes it sound like you can cure it and there’s no cure better say that you can try to help it, but not again it would be better if youchanged exactly what you’re going to tell us about then from Hawaii
Unfortunately there is no cure of glaucoma.We may find on youtube people claiming that there is glaucoma cure but reality is that there is no cure for glaucoma.But it can be controlled.My father lost 80% vision (age=74) and lost one eye completely .Then one eye was operated for glaucoma.Still after operation doctor said he has to put eye drop for the whole life.Since operation he has been putting eye drop continuously.In your case your 90% lost vision will not come back .It's gone forever but you can protect your remaining 10% vision
Hi Dr Tai, I told I have both cataract and glaucoma. I want ask you ,will laser cataract surgery treat both cataract and glaucoma at the same time? Or will a person need get a separate surgery for cataract? Then get separate surgery for glaucoma? I will appreciate a reply from you
Laser cataract surgery treats cataracts, but not glaucoma. MIGS or minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries can be combined with cataract surgery for patients with cataracts and mild to moderate open-angle glaucoma. I hope this helps.
Before comment, take the title with the thumbnail together and then you will understand that she questions the statement. As she says in the video there is no cure only control of symptoms.

A plant-based diet can cure glaucoma they can reverse it I'm not sure once the damage is already done but it can stop it and put it into remission if you stick to the diet that is Whole Food plant-based low-fat you can research it here on UA-cam
Vitamin B3 niacinamide at 500mg a day has improved my vision and also strengthened the o-nerves from the eye to the brain. 40mg lutein is strengthing the inner eye wall as well. 😊

I have a glaucoma and I underwent a surgery where 4 valve were planted in my eye. This year doctors found out that 2 of the valve are no longer working and the pressure of the eye is now increasing. They told me they have to remove them and replace them with the new ones. My problem is that I'm scared but at the same time I want to do it, it's just that the risks are high.
There is no cure AT THE MOMENT. But research is being done and the progress that has been made is very encouraging. Trials are under way for lots of different possibilities to halt the progression of glaucoma and to regenerate dead cells in the retina.
Pls stop with the misleading headline how can u cure glaucoma
You can look up on the internet and UA-cam plant-based diet cure glaucoma and there are hundreds of stories
So true, it is misleading I have the eye disease, there is no cure, all you can do is comply with the treatment s
You're right. There's no more for glaucoma. I've had glaucoma for the past 10 years now and I am using 3 kinds of eye drops and have done SLT treatment. Still, my IOP is high. I have false information that will only give us false hope.

Thank you for the kind words. Stay tuned for more videos on the topic of glaucoma coming up soon!
You are very knowledgeable and explain well. The trabeculectomy blinded my mother. The Dr tried to say it was the disease. I asked. Then why could she see when she walked in, then blind when wheeled out and after? Very Informative passing your info on to a friend. THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCES. Extremely thoughtful❣️
Very informative I have a trace, using timolol and I thought it could cure just learning there's no cure,I will contact to I'll continue to watch your program thank you 🙏
I had the surgery a few days ago. Your information helped me to understand the knowledge I needed. I have heard of glaucoma but your information is an eye opener.
So how is it after surgery I had to do but I'm really scared I heard many bad things about after surgery
I was a diabetic since 2012 within a reading of 13 then. I was put on medication and after 6 yrs, it gone down to 8 but remained there. It was during then that I was diagnosed with retinopathy which caused floaters in my eyes and sometimes it blocks my vision. I had several laser treatment to stop the bleeding on the retina of both eyes and after 3 lasers a piece, the bleeding stopped coupled with my ability to bring my diabetes lower than 8. Since 2019, I adopted drinking of resonated water and my diabetic level had fallen since and is now around 5.5 - 5.8 which occasionally dropped to 5.0 or even 4.9. Irony is prior to 2018, I was on strict non-carbo diet but since 2019 I start taking carbon again which is a standard for Asian cooking.
While treating my retinopathy from 2015, I was also checked for glaucoma each time I go to the doctor, about once quarterly. My reading on both eyes was in the region of 12.5 to 15.5 since. Is this a concern?
Today I'm diagnosed with glaucoma, as a medical student, I'm shocked when I'm thinking about this disease and the impacts it could make on me.
The good news is that I'm asymptomatic. So I'm going to start with eyedrop treatments awaiting an eventual definitive treatment discovered by any great researcher.
What is your age
@akhtersakeena3116 I'm 26
I hope that researchers can find a cure soon, I was diagnosed with glaucoma at 16 and have done laser surgeries and trabeculotomy on both eyes and one needling, I’m currently 17 having my second needling this Tuesday and I’m scared and exhausted because at this point, it’s hard to live with this eye condition as it causes me to skip school a lot for check ups that are mostly twice a week and the surgeries that make me see blurry for a while.
So sorry to hear your story. Pray that you will get better 🙏
Please change your diet eat more plants food and exercise no more process food
I hope also the researchers find the ways .my son also diagnosed glaucoma on his both eyes at the age of 25 and praying for his healing.
I’m 27 and have congenital Glukoma.
I have to administer three different eye drops three times a day, Cosopt, Iopodine and Bimatoprost in my left eye.
There is no Glukoma.
Hey doctor, which is best eye drop for glucoma
I have mild glaucoma - have had cataract surgery both yes, now I use 3 drops every day, and had laser treatment - the one where dr does the laser light treatment
Actually there are a few different types of glaucoma. She briefly mentions Narrow-Angle Glaucoma which I was diagnosed with. It is caused by my anatomy. As we grow older our lenses become larger, thicker and hard as rock so if you have narrow angles, like me, the large lens is so big in a small eye, like mine, that it blocks the outlet of aqueous fluid from the eye can lead to Acute Closed- Angle Glaucoma causing a rapid build up of pressure which can lead to blindness very quickly which is why this type of Glaucoma is a medical emergency. I developed Closed-Angle Glaucoma
Whixh had not yet reached the Acute stage so the only way to cure my glaucoma was to have preventative cataract surgery, involving the removal of my own lenses and replace them with Intra-occular lenses which are smaller, eliminating the possibility of pressure build-up. This type of Glaucoma is rare and is based on having a particular type of anatomy. Small eyes, larger( and older ), lenses, being long- sighted and having narrow-angles. Although I still have Narrow- Angles, they cannot become Closed-Angles. I would never have known I had Glaucoma but for my regular checkups.
hello to you, what about the iridotomy? I am in a similar situation and had double iridotomy done about 5 years ago, it lowered my IOP significantly and first of all, it opened my angles. Together with eye drops, my IOP went down from 20 to 9-10 during the day, and from 28 to 12-14 at ca 4AM. No cataract surgery, though there were such suggestions from some doctors.
Really informative, thank you!🙏🏾
I had the omni procedure done on my second eye a week ago. Yayy, no more rhopressa. I had laser surgery first but several years ago. The omni procedure was done along with cataract surgery. My pressures were around 8 this morning, down from 18 or so
Do you measure pressure yourself?
@suzanneemerson2625 I have my pressure checked every 3 months by my eye doctor for 1 year after surgery then every 6 months in my second year. Both eyes stay around 9 MM since surgery
Very informative,,,,,from ur video it appears that good eye pressure is the only way to treat the growth of glaucoma
Before I was diagnosed with Glaucoma in my right eye I was diagnosed with KERATITIS virus in the same eye, approx. 10 years before. Will this virus impact my glaucoma?
Excellent tutorial. You mentioned laser surgery techniques for open and closed angle conditions may be ineffective for some. What are those cases ?
Thx
Very Helpful. THANKS!
I have open angle glaucoma and uses eye drops to control the pressure
May I know the name of this eye drop.
Hello doc how long can prolonged the glaucoma to avoid blindness??
I'd like to know also😢
There are hundreds of stories of people reversing their glaucoma smooth plant-based diet please do your research
I had an iridotomy done for close angle. My pressure was 18,19 before the prrocedure. I have 20/20 vision. Use readers only. After the treatment both eyes IOP went up to 23,24 and I see crescent flashes of light in both eyes. Now doctor wants to do SLT. Is this normal? I have asked to have a follow up IOP pressure test before SLT.
If you blind on left eye on from Glaucoma. You can have you vision restored? Any surgeon operation doing it?
Dr Audry Tai.Where's your clinic pls
You can learn more about my practice here 👉www.athenaeyecare.com
Dr, what is the expected outcome with SLT for primary angle glaucoma? Is it the idea that once SLT is done, it will help get rid of the tiny granules that break off at the back of iris? As the tiny granuels break off and block the trabecular meshwork causing increasing in eye pressure because the aqueous fluid drains slowly,
Should the SLT procedure help clear the broken granuels that block trabecular meshwork? From what I understand, the effect of SLT wears out after 3-4 years. Is the idea of SLT to be repeated or is it to target the blocked trabecular meshwork so that it clears up and no more blockage should form?
Please advise. I have severe glaucoma and doing my own due deligence, checking for opinions from experts. By the way, I am already seeing an opthamologist to manage my glaucoma.
Dra. después de mi cirugía por glaucoma, me quedó muy borrosa mi visión, creí que duraría sólo la recuperación, pero no se me quitó; hace 2 años que me operaron el ojo derecho y veo muy borroso, aunque me pusieron un lente interno, y uso lentes para leer… es normal que con la cirugía vea uno más borroso que antes de esta?

I have had the trabecluloplasty, laser surg. I am going to see my doctor about the MIGs surgery since the others have not worked. How long does this surgery take . Can I have it done without being anesthesia. Imhad cataract surgery and they just used some kind of drops and I did not feel any pain just a little pressure.
Eye pressure was 71! Was seeing rainbows around lights and haziness. Acute angle closure was my diagnosis. Emergency Laser surgery was done that day to prevent stroke in eye. Combigan and prednisolone acetate drops given with follow-up appt.
Thank you for sharing.

What is the difference between Glaucoma and Retinal?
I am from sierra leone my six years daughter was diagnosed with glaucoma yesterday and i have no idea and i need help and how can i know the type of glaucoma was diagnosed
Glaucoma. The simplest method for determining increased pressure in the eye or glaucoma is eye palpation.
To determine the pressure in the eye, a palpatory method is used, based on a comparison of pressure and elasticity of the eyes in a sick and healthy eye: The patient closes his eyes and looks down, and the examiner puts the index fingers of both hands to the eyelids above the cartilage and lightly presses on the eye alternately with each finger. When comparing the tone (density) of a healthy and diseased eye, an impression is created about the pressure level in the diseased eye.
Finger tonometry - an ophthalmologist gently presses his fingers on the patient's closed eyes, checking the properties of the eyeball, comparing an overly elastic diseased eye with a healthy one of normal elasticity.
How to reduce pressure in the eye.
It is best to start washing and massaging your eyes thoroughly every hour under the shower or tap with water, until the sore hard eye becomes soft, like a healthy one.
It is even better to take a shower for 5-10 minutes and wash your eyes, head, ears, face and neck thoroughly, preferably under contrast!!! a shower. It is useful for improving the vascular system of the eye and everything. A strong shower jet also massages the eyes, head, ears, neck, chest, helping the outflow of lymph from the face, and hence from the eyes.
Strong jet and massage movements of the eyes and head improve blood flow and lymph flow.
At the same time, we constantly close our eyes under water, and rinse them, massaging the eyes, face, ears, head, neck, etc., thereby squeezing out excess fluid from the eyes through clogged with blood, inflammation, sugar, or retrograde (reverse) movement of blood after venous stagnation of the spongy filtration trabecular network, which removes 85 percent of the excess fluid there is a channel from the eyes to the Helmets, which, for various reasons, poorly removes fluid from the eye, and as a result, the pressure in the eyes increases, more often in one. It becomes elastic to the touch and it is necessary to take immediate action. This is the same as a clogged outlet of water from the sink, which can only pour out slowly, but
Hilarious!
This advice was out of date in the 16th century. 😂
It didn’t work even back then.
@@suzanneemerson2625 Glaucoma. If glaucoma is diagnosed or you have determined by palpation that one eye is more elastic than the soft healthy one, urgent measures must be taken.
1 Improve the rheology of blood and lymph. Strict minimal diet, no sugar, flour, potatoes, strong coffee, alcohol, etc. In short, DIET Diabetes 2 or similar, reduce the volume by 2 times.
Cups on the back daily, leeches, at least one every 1-3 days.
Walking for at least 20 steps, closing your eyes one by one, squeezing fluid out of the eyes, and a lot of exercises to improve lymph flow and relieve venous stagnation, during which retrograde blood flows into the Schlemm canal and even into the trabecular meshwork, which mainly removes fluid from the eyes.
.2 Contrast shower twice for 10 minutes to return the vascular system to normal and improve lymph flow; when washing the face, ears, neck, head, chest, lymph flow improves, and therefore the outflow of excess fluid from the eyes.
3. In case of crisis, wash your face and eyes until the elastic, diseased eye becomes as soft as the healthy one.
Pathways for fluid drainage from the eye
1 Trabecular through Schlemm's canal (main)
2 Uveoscleral
3 Uveolimphatic
4 Vitreal
It is worth noting the important property of the trabecular apparatus as a “self-cleaning” filter!!!, caused by the transtrabecular fluid flow, which creates the prerequisites for the passage of relatively large conglomerates [80, 102]. Intraocular fluid passing along the “uveoscleral branch”, i.e. intertrabecular, does not create similar conditions for the formed elements contained in it. “The possibility of large protein molecules leaving the cavity of the eyeball is due to the unusually high permeability of the vessels of the sclera and choroid due to the strongly pronounced perivascular space. Large protein molecules are removed from the perivascular spaces through structures histochemically similar to lymphatic ones” [28]. Recent work convincingly proves the existence of structures characteristic of the lymphatic system in the choroid of the eye, including the ciliary muscle [75]. The lymphatic system contributes to the drainage of aqueous humor and the use of the term uveolymphatic pathway is justified[182].
There is a proverb - water will find a hole, improve the rheology of blood and lymph, improve the vascular system, squeeze out excess fluid from the eyes, for example, by washing the eyes every hour, and massage and alternately closing the eyes, leeches, cupping, hijama, walking 10 thousand steps, exercises for lymph flow and everything is back to normal.
Thank you. I managed to reduce my blood pressure after the operation in a month from a critical 27 to a normal 19 in less than a month. I didn’t use drops for glaucoma, only for an infection after a victrectomy operation to remove blood from the vitreous... At first the doctor scolded me for not using drops against glaucoma!!! (but maybe this is not superfluous), and then measuring the normal pressure, He said everything was great!!! They tried to treat hemophthalmos, hemorrhage in the vitreous body with GEMAZ injections, which is not very effective, and in another hospital a month later, they sucked the blood out of the vitreous body, victrectomy... This is a super operation!!! If the vitreous body of the eye is heavily damaged by blood, GEMAZ injections are ineffective, only pumping out the blood and filling the vitreous body with saline solution, the sooner the better!!! Until the platelets settled and thickened and destroyed the retina... What saved me was that it was a month before the victrectomy operation, every other day I put on one leech and followed a strict diet, otherwise I would have lost my eye!!! When placing a leech, just one, after an hour I measured the sugar, from 8.5 the sugar dropped to 4.4 or 5.2... And in general, when following the diet, the sugar generally returned to normal!!! And before it didn’t fall below 6.5... I didn’t expect this effect from leeches... I recommend it to everyone, since almost all eye diseases are caused by high blood sugar....from venous retrograde (reverse) movement of blood into the trabecular spongi network that removes excess fluid from the eyes 85%... For inflammation of the excretory canals... or eye surgery... It is necessary to at least palpate to check whether the eye is solid, compared to a healthy one, if so, then immediately take measures: shower, wash face with eye massage, alternately closing the eyes, massage the face, ears, around the eyes, if possible (not after surgery) then just gently squeeze out excess moisture from the eyes, best in the sea, pool, shower, when washing your face many times a day during a crisis, ...cupping, leeches!!!, hijama... But the most important thing is diet, food restriction reduced by half, or intermittent fasting!!! Proper periodic breathing to improve blood rheology and vasodilation.
@@koljivanov4050thanks 🙏..l will practice.
@@matios6013 How I cured glaucoma after surgery... Most doctors are not diagnosticians and do not look for the causes of the disease, but treat not the cause, but the symptoms... And they treat according to the plans of insurance companies, and for them a step to the left or to the right is execution... And they do not deal with disease prevention and the eradication of the causes of the disease at all...
First, Reduce gluttony, especially sweets, flour, fatty foods, alcohol... .. improve and strengthen blood vessels,
improve blood rheology,
and if you do not know how to improve the flow of fluid from the eyes and the movement of lymph from the eyes, then simply wash your face many times a day, sometimes with cold, sometimes with hot water, squinting your eyes, when washing your face, all movements are aimed at the outflow of fluid from the eyes and lymph from the eyes, even better are trips to the pool, even better in the sea, but constantly diving and immersing your face in water, and then washing off the water from your eyes and face. Putting leeches is just super, they improve blood, lower sugar, the main cause of all eye diseases ... Pollution, most often with blood of Trauber's spongy canals that remove 85 percent of the fluid from the eyes into the Schlemov canal, cannot be cured otherwise if you do not improve the lymph flow ... !!! Walk a lot, while squinting your eyes in turn, helping the fluid to come out of the eyes. Our blood is moved by the heart, and lymph only large muscles work well during movement and various exercises. Movement is life !!! At least 10 km a day must be walked, if it is slippery, then at home do equivalent exercises squinting your eyes in turn, and doing other eye exercises, of which there are many on the Internet, if there is no eye injury, then a gentle massage of the eyes and around, if there is an injury or after surgery, then only squinting in turn !!! Rubbing the entire body, especially the neck, head and face, with a towel stretched between the hands helps a lot, until the ears are red and burning, this is a sign of good blood flow to the head, and therefore the eyes!!!
The rheology of the blood is also improved, and especially the movement of lymph is improved by the use of vacuum cups...

Thank you for this video. I have ocular hypertension. I have been on lanaprost? once a day drops for 2 years with good reduction in my pressure. This year, after drops seemed to be becoming ineffective, my doctor did the quick, in office Lazer treatment to allow more drainage. At first, it was great, then after we did the second one 6 weeks later, my pressure in the first eye was back up to 22. I am wondering if I can get better drops or have a different surgery? I am only 60 and am afraid of the future health of my eyes. I am on a CPap and am diligent about my drops, but sometimes when I take the drops before bed can vary between 11 pm and 1 am. I appreciate your videos.
I am not able to give you personal medical advice without examining your eye. In general, in addition to laser glaucoma surgery, there are different glaucoma eye drops with different mechanisms of action, and MIGS surgery to control eye pressure for people with glaucoma. I hope this helps.
Have you tried a plant-based diet or eating healthy and cutting out all processed foods and all fatty food
I am 46 and having Glaucoma
Glaucoma. The simplest method for determining glaucoma is palpation of the eyes.
To determine the pressure in the eye, a palpation method is used, based on comparing the pressure and elasticity of the eyes in the diseased and healthy eye: the patient closes his eyes and looks down, and the examiner places the index fingers of both hands on the eyelids above the cartilage and lightly presses on the eye with each finger alternately. When comparing the tone (density) of a healthy and diseased eye, an impression is created of the level of pressure in the diseased eye.
How to reduce pressure in the eye.
Get into the shower for 5-10 minutes and thoroughly wash your eyes, head, ears, face and neck, preferably under a contrast shower to improve the vascular system.
A strong jet and massage movements of the eyes and head improve blood and lymph flow.
At the same time, you constantly close your eyes under water, and wash them, massaging the eyes, face, ears, head, neck, etc., thereby squeezing excess fluid from the eyes through clogged with blood, inflammation, sugar, or retrograde (reverse) movement of blood after venous stagnation of the spongy trabecular network, which removes 85 percent of excess fluid from the eyes into the Shlemov canal.
If you can’t get into the shower, you can thoroughly wash your eyes, face, head, ears, neck every hour, preferably with water, to improve all the blood vessels and capillaries of the eyes and everything else.
It is also necessary to provide a diabetic with gentle nutrition 2 to improve the rheology of the blood and lymph. Also useful in times of crisis and not only daily cupping, for example on the back, but once a week cupping (hijma) and the most effective once every three times for cupping, at least one leech, first on the navel, or near the sacrum, this is also close to the liver, and then closer to the head to the neck and even to the head. This also immediately reduces and normalizes blood sugar; you can check it by measuring your sugar before and after applying leeches and canes. You will be pleasantly surprised by the results.
To remove venous congestion, which is often the cause of glaccoma, and to improve lymph flow throughout the body, various exercises also help

you need to perform them in the morning and several times a day.

The chances are you are you willl never lose your Vision , take the drops and you will be fine .
Without treatment between 10 and 15 years according to studies. With treatment the progression is much slower and you will probably never lose all vision. Treatment is very important!! and never lose faith.

If it worked I will check in September and I hope this will help me to avoid taking drops for a number of years. The eye pressure was between 15.9 to 21.9 (right eye), left between 12 and 15.
Thank you for sharing 😀
Thank You🙏🙏🙏💕💕💕
Thanks so much.
Doctor i am 52, had a surgical operation 4 years ago to correct glaucoma in one of my eyes while continued to use eye drops in the other eye. However, recently during my reviews at my ophtalmologiste, it became clear that i am losing my vision in the eye I had surgical operation while in the eye i have been using eye drops my vision has remained intact or perhaps much better. My question is what should I do to stop my gradual vision loss in the eye I had glaucoma surgery ? Please, any suggestions. My ophtalmologiste seems not to have any answer. I am really worried, please help. Thank you (UK)
Hi doc I'm 70 years old my right eye persure went up 4 years oga Ivisit eye doctor and I have laser Iwas OK for awhile but again right persure went up since then many times Iwisited doc any they say there's kind of infection on your eye and they say you should eat Acyclovir 400 2time aday Iwant to know if there's any alternative please advise many thank
I can’t give personal medical advice on this platform. In general acyclovir and valacyclovir are medications prescribed to treat viral infections in the eyes. Viral infections in the the eye can cause increased eye pressure, and often need close follow up with a qualified eye doctor.
So approximately in 2021 I was totally lost 50% of my eye vision glaucoma I have been doing eyedrops and I did the laser surgery recently I got a severe concussion and it caused me to get more blurred vision I'm interested in your third option I I'm truly concerned I don't want to lose my eyesight I went to four different doctors I don't feel safe to be honest I don't know what to do I live in eastern Oregon really close to Boise Idaho any suggestions
😢🙏🏿🙏🏿💪❤️
hello friend. i know a lot because i come from a family of all medical people and i have been dealing with vision loss for over 50 years. of course that does not make me in any way qualified to advise you on your symptoms, but i have some 100 % solid gold advice for you. get seen and treated by the best people out there. and how do you find the best people out there ? here are a few true facts about doctors, told to me by my brother the doctor. some of them are hackers and you are taking a chance being treated by them. they were asleep in med school or maybe they just aren't that smart. there is usually a reason a doctor is in a small town, and it usually is that they couldn't get hired in the top hospitals or clinics. you want to go to a university hospital ( teaching hospitals ) or a big name clinic. i live in seattle and i see several doctors, all at the university of washington. big name clinics are mayo clinic, cleveland clinic, etc. when my eyesight tanked, i went to a local clinic. they advised me to get surgery, but something didn't smell right, so i skedaddled. ten years later, i still have not needed that surgery. what was the difference in treatment plans ? well, i think the first local clinic was trying to generate money from surgeries. i ended up at UW, where they are not working to keep their practice afloat. it is a different patient focus.
Please i am 22 and it was said that my glaucoma is advanced, my pressure have been consistently low since i started treatment, how long do i have till i start loosing vision ?? Will i lose vision??
You won't loose vision.
Take care of the presure.
Take a good dose of Vitamin C, B2, B1,B12 and pray. Really connect with God is so calming and healing.
This is what a friend does with that diagnosis and is getting better

My eye doctor giving me eye drops for glucoma of witch i dont know if i have Glaucoma i dump one eye doctor for not telling me the truth now i have another doctor's he ask me if i have Glaucoma my answer i don't know
Good afternoon doctor am from Guyana when to eye doctor I have to ask what happened to my eyes she said it swollen at the back of my eyes they not giving me no eye drops only taking vitamins tablets one eyes gone through and it started on the next eye I so stressed out
Um...yeah...high pressure causes glaucoma...that's the theory. It's the theory because eye pressure is the only "controllable" risk factor. Okay ..sure...it's a risk factor if your pressure is maybe over 30. But most doctors will insist on getting the eye pressure down to 12-15. Multiple eye drops, much follow-up, then laser treatments, then surgery...with all the concomitant side effects that themselves are then eye diseases that need treatments.
"ALL ABOARD!" The studies that justify this industry all use the most sophisticated statistics that'll have an undergraduate math major's head spinning. First they do a "multi-center double blind" study that uses only a few hundred eyeballs and that then gets wittled down to maybe two hundred for various reasons. Then when the results show only the smallest statistical significance, they do a " follow-up" study where they wittle away yet again at the sample size by using what's called "intent to treat" shananagans getting it down to under two-hundred eyes so that they can get a little bit higher a correlation so that this multi-BILLION dollar industry can be "justified". There are other theories about causes for glaucoma and really, those other theories ring more true than the eye pressure theory. But again, eye pressure is the only risk factor that can be controlled. So..."ALL ABOARD"!!
It's a slippery slope. I'm in hopes of the eye drops keeping my IOP down. This 70 year old battling open angled the past decade has my fingers crossed.
So what are the other potential reasons for glaucoma other then eye pressure.plz reply
@@milkhoney694 There's something called Google. But for one, how about toxic neuropathy. How about the "we're not 'entirely' sure what causes glaucoma, but..." answer. Then there's the, and this one you got to love, "we're not 'entirely' sure why lowering eye pressure reduces the rate of progression..." But man...those "researchers" love their numbers, their statistical probability manipulations. Oh, and their "cha-ching" numbers. Ah yes...the DROPS gravy train.
My father has glucoma any medicine i can use to lower eye pressure
He can try Nicotinamide (vitamin B3) 😮supplements 500mg per day. It helps for people who have already sight loss because of glaucoma, and prevents further sight loss. You can google and get all the information on Nicotinamide(vitamin B3).
He can use eyedrops for glaucoma , one drop in every eye every
Morning and evening. The problem with most eyedrops is that the preservative in it(namely Benzakonium chloride) causes dry and very itchiness and inflammatory eyes. Benzakonium chloride was already banned in Europe, also for using in baby wipes and sanitizer is it banned in Europe. Benzakonium chloride can bleach and remove colour from clothes and is used for cleaning floors. He must try to obtain eyedrops without preservative. I have the same problem now in South Africa, that's why I started with Nicotinamide( Vit B3) supplements. ❤
I´m still undecided
eye especialist what is a good 💧 eye drop for clucoma.and where's is your clinic. Located.where.😂❤😢😅😮 l have baby clucoma.thanks.
Ok Dr Audrey l have a eye 👁🗨 doctor. He said my baby clocoma still a baby no need surgery. His always cheking my eyes every month. He gave me only 👁🗨 drops for dry eyes. That's why when l saw you in UA-cam. I'm impressed about your drops for clocoma. Thanks if want to give me the name of medicine pls and thank you.l want to try.
These treatments actually "cure" glaucoma, as stated in your video title? That means these treatments reverse the damage, too?
Noo
@@smakash3107 I know. That was my point. I was wondering if this doctor would actually respond. As expected, she didn't.
What she wrote is not true.
Good morning mam..can you help me my mom, her both eyes blind..for a month...

My kid 3 months old shows white spot on his right eye. Is this glacouma?
Hello, I was just listening to what you were saying and I really think as others have suggested that how you title your hot hot on Glockoma is misleading it makes it sound like you can cure it and there’s no cure better say that you can try to help it, but not again it would be better if youchanged exactly what you’re going to tell us about then from Hawaii
I have glaucoma i have lost 90% eye vision Pls Help Me Tell Me Where Is Glaucome Cure 😭😭😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Unfortunately there is no cure of glaucoma.We may find on youtube people claiming that there is glaucoma cure but reality is that there is no cure for glaucoma.But it can be controlled.My father lost 80% vision (age=74) and lost one eye completely .Then one eye was operated for glaucoma.Still after operation doctor said he has to put eye drop for the whole life.Since operation he has been putting eye drop continuously.In your case your 90% lost vision will not come back .It's gone forever but you can protect your remaining 10% vision
Hi Dr Tai, I told I have both cataract and glaucoma. I want ask you ,will laser cataract surgery treat both cataract and glaucoma at the same time? Or will a person need get a separate surgery for cataract? Then get separate surgery for glaucoma? I will appreciate a reply from you
Laser cataract surgery treats cataracts, but not glaucoma. MIGS or minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries can be combined with cataract surgery for patients with cataracts and mild to moderate open-angle glaucoma. I hope this helps.
I have but am using eyes drop not really helping 😢
Very informative video
where are you located? do you see patients? or would you be willing to review a patients history to give suggestions?
Hi doc thanks for your advise
Before comment, take the title with the thumbnail together and then you will understand that she questions the statement. As she says in the video there is no cure only control of symptoms.
Can you go blind after laser treatment for glaucoma
No

I had trabecular both eye right eye 12 months left eye 8 months no eye drops at the moment 12 one eye 10 right eye talking little more time settling
In the video She only mentions treatments for glaucoma not a cure So she simply got the title of her video wrong
its called click bait
A plant-based diet can cure glaucoma they can reverse it I'm not sure once the damage is already done but it can stop it and put it into remission if you stick to the diet that is Whole Food plant-based low-fat you can research it here on UA-cam
She wants to make money out of views, so this title will attract more viewers, simple 😬
Vitamin B3 niacinamide at 500mg a day has improved my vision and also strengthened the o-nerves from the eye to the brain. 40mg lutein is strengthing the inner eye wall as well. 😊
Is it good with primary closed glaucoma?
I don't find the video helpful. You only describe different ways of treating glaucoma and not how to cure it, as you stated in the title page.
I take drops for glaucoma and yes the drops leave the skin around my eyes really dry
Do you get a lot of side effects?
@@erikaornelas7879 Thankfully I don't beside the drops drying my skin the drops kind of sting if I forgot to take them.
