Nice video, Great inform! Thanks for sharing about Pressure High In Eye!
Thank you Doctor for the update.
Your awesome, i need to find a new eye doctor soon its been several years since iv'e seen one and she was telling me my pressure was on the high side. Thank you for educating me about my 👀 ❤
thanks for being here!!!!!
I experienced exactly as described.... A family history of glaucoma and from middle age for quite a few years my own eye pressure was kept under control with medication. Suddenly the pressure spiked (eye pain and headache) and medication was mostly ineffective. I went to a hospital that specializes in eye problems here in Japan where I reside, going there because my web research informed that they were one of a very few places that had implemented the trabectome treatment method, a relatively non-invasive procedure to treat the high pressure. I had the procedure in both eyes, but the results were unfortunately relatively ineffective. The same hospital advised trabeculectomy, and the same physician did the procedure, and they added cataract surgery, it not being essential at that point, but given my age and determining that I likely would be needing it in the future, they combined the procedures. I guess I was in the chair for a little over an hour for each eye. Now for a number of years after that, the pressure has remained normal without the use of medication. Here the hospital stay is pretty long after such treatment, I think I was there for about ten days. One thing I could tell when the procedure was being done, the physician doing the work, a professor, it being a teaching university hospital, and the head of the large ophthalmology department, he had gifted hands. You need a referral from another place to get eye treatment there, and man they are busy.
It is great that you got the surgery you needed and the pressure is okay now!
It is very helpful information, and very well explained....Thanks.
So glad you found it helpful!
You can't tell with a tire gauge. I tried. It's a myth.
THANK PLEASE CONTINUE,STAY O,
Thank you for watching !
Thank you.
Very helpful. Thanks.
Thanks for watching! Are there any other questions I can answer?
@@GetEyeFacts, A top eye doctor ( deceased) ....... told me in 1998 that I have very high eye pressure and is likely to have glaucoma. I dismissed it introvertly. Now 55 years old and driving without glasses. Thanks to garlic and a disciplined diet high in fruits. RIP Dr. Vaughan
Just had a catraze eye opreation about 7 months back cant go agaist sun rays cant read my moble too long can you sugest small medicines or eye drops to give me relive i stiill have eye obeigtscknow as flotos still a little in my eyes movingbthanks
I see my eye guy twice a year. A few weeks ago he tells me I have unusual eyeball pressure. I felt no difference. Told him not interested. He says next step is glaucoma then blindness. He says to take these prescription eye drops. How Long?. He says the rest of your life. I just turned 75yo. Fofrtunatly the script is covered by insurance. Getting older sucks. Thanx for the post {^;^}
You know you can lower pressure without drops.
Do Tell. Thanx for the post..
Pl@@freespiritpearl89 please say how?
@jasonjay7650 I did it by eating a lot of fruits and vegetables and losing weight. I'm obese and have diabetes. Cut out all processed foods.
@@freespiritpearl89 thanks for the information 👍
I'm an eddie from Indonesia. Doc, I have pressure in the eye about 22 and 23, when I've been given an eye pressure lowering drug, whether with such a value it can still be tolerated?
Thank you Doctor!!!
You are welcome!
@GetEyeFacts also, can straining on the toilet or staring at your phone/computer long cause glaucoma?

I was diagnosed at 37 out of the blue with pressures over 30. First i was on timilol which worked for 3 years. Then pressure got high again and was on timilol dorzolamide. Fine for another 3 years. Now I'm on latanaprost with the other 2 . I just wish i could have a simple operation so i didn't have to worry all the time thinking how long will this one work for.
unfortunately there are not many simple operations in the world of glaucoma, especially in young patients. SLT laser can be helpful but it may not be an option for everyone
Good information! Thank you Doc. I have a question about my eye floaters. I've observed large grey floaters like a web in my right eye a year and a half back. I have Glaucoma and I'm on Glucomol 0.5% eye drops since 4 years. The eye pressure is well under control. Since three months I've observed few floaters in my left eye as well. I've consulted the ophthalmologist and he has advised me to forget about this problem and learn to live with it. Although I have accepted it as my fate but just saw your video and thought of consulting you about my problem. I'm diabetic and hypertensive since 12 years but maintained good levels with healthy lifestyle. I'm 58 years man. I'm taking GNC 50 + multi vitamin since 10 years.
I'm only taking medication for hypertension but diabetes is as good as normal. So no issues. Please help. Thank you. Well, I'm from Bangalore India.
Unfortunately there is no easy treatment for floaters. In some rare cases, floaters can have surgery but this is very uncommonly done
Put 2 drops of hexane free, organic castor oil, 30 mls with 5 drops of frankincense essential oil on your eyelids every night. My floaters are going away.
Good I want to know what are changes which could happen when there's hypertension and diabetes I mean refractive changes
I do have eye probably but my Verizon is very poor because when i look at someone's the face looks dark to me
Hi Doc, After cataract surgery, can you get a tune up if it is not right..
Yes and no - it depends on what is the cause of the blurry vision. In some cases you may need to have a laser to clear up the back capsule of the cataract. This is pretty common and many people need laser after cataract surgery. In some cases, you may need glasses years after surgery if your prescription changes again. It's tough to say as each case is unique and individual.
@@GetEyeFacts thanks for the reply….
high eye pressure doesn't necessarily mean you have glaucoma, however, high eye pressure should be monitored closely because having high eye pressure is a risk factor for glaucoma@@SA-de4lc
my eyes felt sore when i applied eyeshadow from the pressure of a small sponge brush
how we can reduce these eye pressure ? does giving more screen time increases eye pressure ?
screen time does not increase eye pressure!
Doctor, pls am a teenager and i was diagnosed with an IOP of 27.
What should i do to reduce the eye pressure??
If an eye doctor diagnosed you with this, you should be scheduled for a follow up. For some patients, an IOP of 27 should be treated, in other patients, it may be watched closely. Please see an eye doctor to understand your complete risk profile, this channel is for education only
If one cannot tell that they have high pressure, i suppose no one notices that, once treated, they have decreased pressure? It is only by the doctors test that one can tell if treatment is working?
yes exactly, in almost all cases, the pressure decrease that results from medication will not be noticed by a patient in the cases of open angle glacuoma. In closed angle glaucoma, where the pressure goes up very high very quickly and there is eye pain, when this is treated and the pressure comes down the patient will notice relief. this is why following up for doctors visits in the case of glaucoma is so important.
How can I tell at home if the pressure is too low?
This would be pretty tough to tell, it's best to check in with your eye doctor to have your pressure checked.
Are you talking pounds per square inch of pressure or is it a metric number ?
eye pressure is measured in mm of mercury
Hey Dr, I am from India and I went for an eye examination today. The doctor told me that my one eye has eye pressure of 21 and the other one has 23. She has called me again after two weeks to check it again because she wants to see the second Reading as well is the pressure too high as per you is there something I can do to stop the progression?
Kya hua bhai apke case me please reply ?
Can you be out of work for months with the laser surgery?
that would be extremely unlikely
Wondering why the pressure was measured by the blue light at 24 and the hand held tonometer at 21. Which is more accurate? Thank you!!
Typically the blue light (pressure measured by applanation ) is considered to be more accurate. However, sometimes checking pressure can be affected by patients not being able to keep their eye open. So, if an eye doctor has to struggle to keep a patient's eye open, or if the patient is blinking, then the hand held tonometer may be considered to be a better reading. If the doctor needs to hold the eyelids open and inadvertent pressure is placed on the eye during this, then the eye pressure may read higher than it actually is. So, there is some nuance to considering something accurate because the conditions under which is was measured also matters.
Thank you very much for your prompt response. It is greatly appreciated and reassuring.
Hello mam, my cct is 553 and 565 .. nct is 23 , 26.. and at is 19 and 22. Is it okay mam? I am 22 years old .. kindly reply mam
What pressure requires laser surgery?
It depends on many factors such as the results of your glaucoma testing, the stage of your glaucoma, the corneal thickness and the health of the optic nerve.
my eye pressure does be over 50 and it pains alot..my eyes turns red
Please see your eye doctor! This can be dangerous
@@GetEyeFacts thanks I did , I use a drops at nights too lower my eye pressure
Mam , any sinus related issues cause eye pressure or not ?
Hello! Its unlikely but possible, only very rare conditions
I only get pressure in one eye no diagnosis
I cannot have dilators as my eye stays fixed indefinitely
There are cameras now that certain offices have where you may not need to be dilated
Madam I am from India. Recently I came across videos by some homoipathic doctors and they claim that they can correct gloucoma by homiopathic medicines and they have treated many petients. What is your opinion on this?
Hello, no - homeopathic medications are not scientifically proven to treat glaucoma. You can reference this article as well - www.eyefacts.com/glaucoma/homeopathic-medicine-for-glaucoma/
please see an Ophthalmologist who is a medical doctor if you have glaucoma so you can be treated properly
@@GetEyeFactsMadam , thanks for your reply. I am 75 and have no any health problem such as BP and Suger. I am regularly using eye drops since April 23 when it was noticed ,that I have gloucoma and eye pressure is well within control. I have been advised to next visit in January 24 by my Opthalmic surgeon. The purpose of asking auestion about Homiopathic medicines was wether in additin to my eye drops ,wether I can use Homiopathic medicines in addition to my eye drops , will it be harmful ? Anyway I am nit going to stop my eye drops. Since April 23 my eye pressure is well within normal limits.
I have glaucoma, exactly what does Latanoprost do to be able to lower the pressure?
Latanoprost is in a class of medication called PGAs. This medication class specifically works by increasing "uveoscleral outflow" - this basically means that it helps fluid from the eye exit the eye faster and more efficiently. This is how it lowers pressure. Great question, I can make a video on how different glaucoma drugs work.
@@GetEyeFacts Thanks for answering and I'll certainly be watching for that video in the future!
I had blue eyes latanoprost turned them brown! Be careful and talk to your Dr.
@@dalemihocik4732does glaucoma mean blindness??? Even though you are in proper checkup and medication???
@@kristinepark214 permanent?
I'm 61 and my eye dock put me on eye vitamins with extra Lutien and Ziozanthnin , is this a good thing or waste of money. Thanks.
It depends on the exact formulation and the reason
Is eye pressure of 14 and 17 normal ?
It can be, but it also depends on the rest of the health of your eye, as well as the device being used to measure it and who is measuring your eye pressure.
Thank you. I checked again and the one saying 17 is now 14. Thank u. Although I had a very hectic week prior to checking the eye pressure. So after a few days rest, I went to check again and it's now much ok. Thank u
Can using steroid eye drops for 10 days cause glaucoma
As someone living with HIV I hope one day I can cured thank doctors Pius Ozigbe❤❤😂😂😅
