Interesting for doctors. Thank. I have shared this content in my Ophthalmology group on Facebook.
Whats the best way to see the posterior bowing? Can this be seen on simple slitlamp, or do you need gonioscopy?
I’ve just been diagnosed with this at 39 (male) and put on drops twice a day, as treatment.
Can vision improve with drops, or will this only preserve current eye sight?
My pressure was 26 left and 19 right.
Do you have any recommendations with general life that can help, moving forward??
I have no family history of this condition, either.
Thank you
Treatments to lower pressure target stabilization rather than improvement of vision. Depending on the subtleties of your situation, it is worth the time to discuss with your treating physician what your visual symptoms are and what can be done to make things better. A rise in eye pressure does not typically alter central vision until the later stages of disease and your vision might be influenced by other processes (like dry eye) that can be treated and lead to vision improvement. Please discuss with your doctor.
Bu rahatsızlıktan bende de var. 7 yıl önce öğrendim. En son 6 ay önce doktora gittim herhangi bir sorun olmadığını söyledi.
Kilo sorunum var ve spor yapmak istiyorum. Hangi sporlar yasak hangileri yapılabilir?Ben body building yapmak istiyorum yapabilir miyim. Kısıtlamam gereken şeyler var mı?
Is it safe to get SLT in pigment dispersion syndrome?
I was treated with SLT and it was not effective. It also caused extreme eye pain in the hours afterward - felt like bees were stinging my eyes. The doctor made it sound like it was going to work great and also not hurt. Neither wound up being true.
What is LPI?

Thanks again dear prof 🌺..slt vs prostaglandins.. still controversy?
SLT is a great choice for pigmentary glaucoma... would go with 0.4mJ and treat 360 Degrees to avoid spikes (given increased uptake of laser). PGAs are still fine of course and may be needed regardless since SLT works great in Pigmentary Glaucoma but also tends to fail sooner due to accumulation of pigment.
@@malikkahook9368 thanks doctor, I appreciate🌺👍
@@malikkahook9368 Interesting. My Dr. mentioned this today but it was mostly a suggestion to consider. I suppose because I will continue to shed pigment anyways? She's not calling it Pigmentary Glaucoma at this point. Just PDS. I'm 58 with no cataracts. My pressures have been managed well with the drops and I guess what nerve damage there was has been halted. This is through the VA.
