My doctor wants to do cataract and glaucoma xen stent simultaneously in January, any my right eye pressure is out of control even on the strongest drops. It’s at 24. I need to be at 14 and below. Is it better to get the cataract surgery now while it’s not a very hard cataract (I am 63) or only do the xen stent? I worry very much about this combination surgery. I have moderate normal tension glaucoma and recently diagnosed secondary glaucoma of psudoexfoliation.when I was diagnosed my pressure was at 22 in my right eye. He’s been my doctor since 2009. He is my second opinion doctor who I stuck with. Also I have never ever forgotten one single eye drop. Ever. I have OCD especially about this. So I know I took great care through these years so far.
I just had the xen gel stent surgery in my right eye 2wks ago. My pressure was 55 before and is now 13. It has been quite an experience. I pray it stays low for a long time
@@joanneramsey7723 oh Joanne, I pray it will stay low too!! I did end up having the surgery and at first it was 10, then 12 two weeks later and last week it was 14. I know pressure fluctuates. I hope mine stays 14 and below. I did the cataract surgery. My vision is worse. I have a slight film under the lens so he wants to laser. I’ll do that next time. But my peripheral vision is like looking thru a glass of water. I won’t do that with the other eye until I must.
May i know where will be the best treatment for glaucoma?i have two little kids and my husband is glaucoma suspect.his iop is between 14-18.can anyone share their good result for glaucoma treatment?
I’m confused my mom lost her sight to glaucoma 8 to 9 years ago but in the last two years she was able to see in a few moments last year during December she was able to tell that I was wearing a green shirt without anyone telling her, and since that day had me super confused to why she is sometimes being able to see a few things from time to time, she was even able to tell if the lights where on or off 3 times. Is there a reason for that?
@@babykushtkf1874 Yes a bit like sonar, we all have it, myself I use all my senses at once , Have you heard of the Myers-Briggs tests, it gives you a result after a load of questions, like for example im an INFJ , I can't even remember what the initials stand for but it gives you 16 types of ppl .
I = introverted, intuitive, feeling and judging , seemingly there's only 3% of us but I would say there are a lot more myself i have gave ppl readings from dead relatives and the dreams I get are premonitions, I also help find broken bones, and heal ppl, I never charge though, I believe its a free gift so I give it freely, all I ask in return is ppl pay it forward in kindness. To be able to give some1 their heart smile back is my reward, so to speak.
I love the metaphor! Genious. Thank you for your hard work. ❤

Being a suspect does not mean he has glaucoma.

Your mum sounds like she was learning to use her second sight ❤
