Excellent explanation of Nartow Angle Glaucoma! Frankly Glaucoma has not been explained to me at all. I have also begun to lightly massage the front of my eyes. Will look forward to next video. The time factor (time it takes to drink a cup of coffee,),is a great teaching/learning point. Significant Learning is best done with small doses of information. Thank you very much.
Interesting Article; I was told I had Glaucoma in 2000. I had cataracts removed in 2003. They did implants so I would not have to wear Coke Bottles. I was put 0n 1 eye drop after another. My pressures were trageted to be 12 both eyes. Then in 2020, they did laser to reduce my eye pressures as they were now 14 and the doctor told me no need for eyedrops now. But he still gave me 9 months of eyedrops. He scheduled me for my next appointment in 6 months. I had the pressures checked a 6 months later. they were now 15, so the laser did nothing. I now had a big problem, as no matter what we did my eye pressures stayed above 15. I was losing the battle. Since then I have lost most of the vision in my good right eye. my left eye has blind area above the center. Now my vision is getting fuzzy and I have double vision. Not sure how much longer I will last. I gave up driving in 2020. I can get around the house as I have memorized it well. Then next problem is coming soon. I do not look forward to the coming months and years. I was told 3 years ago that they were very, very close for a cure due to very good progress in several areas for Glaucoma repairs. And for me not to worry. Well, that was 3 years ago now and I see no further progress. Hope for the best, but expect the worst. Good Luck to all of you with similar problems. Doctors tell you stuff, but really do not know.
Sam, check Austin Goh! He has a simple eye message therapy that is pretty darn effective! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pYZKHSitsuo.html!

Got diagnosed with glaucoma this year. Only 24 / : have had terrible eye pressure and migraines cause by the pressure since I was a child. Tomilol has helped the pressure and monthly migraines go down greatly
I have glaucoma in both of my eyes. I have something called aphakic open-angle glaucoma from the effects of cataract surgery as a young child. This is also called secondary glaucoma. I am on for eye drops for my pressures.
I have acute angle closer glaucoma I've had surgery just before covid in both eyes. I've lost most of my peripheral vision were a few months ago my licence has been revoked. My ops were successful. had an amazing consultant who was amazing in his field expert from moorfield. Thanks for this upload.
HI! my grandmother had a check up on her eyes. after the check up around 4-5 hours after she experienced sudden vision loss and painful eye. They dilated her eyes for the check up and it seems one of her eye did not return to normal. took her back to the hospital a day after and now on meds that you described. ( she was never diagnosed with glaucoma , even after numerous eye check ups and even the check up she had that caused caused the ocular hypertension , the doctor did not mention she has glaucoma. we have been to 4 -5 doctors before and all they prescribed to her was lubricants because of old age). Can her vision recover? her vision improved after the initial treatment but still hazy.
Thanks. Full of information. Still suffering with it after 35 years and have seen a lot of advancements in the field. Except diamox. You can stick that. Spent nearly 6 months on that drug. Never again
@@Angiehere-1 I ended up having a lot of side effects from it. Like altered taste. Visual artifacts amongst other things. They got so bad I just refused to take it.
I started to get a really bad headache, both eyes extremely cloudy. Went to ER and Dr. didn't know what was wrong but gave me several shots of fentanyl (3). Pain was getting better, got sent home. Eyes cleared up after awhile. I thought the headache was so bad that it was affecting my eyes. Once in awhile, after that, one of my eyes would get a little "cloudy". Kinda like when you open your eyes underwater in the swimming pool and when you get out your eyesight is kinda cloudy from the chlorine. Like I said every now and then that happened. One day it happened again, I just took tylenol thinking the pain was from my headache. After 24 hours I couldn't stand it anymore, went to the same ER. They didn't have a clue what was wrong ( I also have an aneurysm) they admitted me, took me up to a room. I was in excruciating pain. I'd been at the hospital for about 9 or 10 hours. Finally a Dr. came into my room and said he wanted to check the pressure in my eyes. He immediately said I need to get to an eye surgeon before I go blind. Left the hospital and met the eye surgeon at her closed office. She drilled a hole in each eye, left one got better but right one, no change. I couldn't take the pain. She eventually had to get a needle and suction fluid out. Pain started going away, thank god. My eyesight is permanently damaged.
@@freebackgroundmusicnon-cop4846 my left eye is ok, I can see clearly out of it with glasses, but my right eye (pressure was OVER 85) it's like all cloudy. If both of my eyes were like that I wouldn't be able to read or drive. My pupil stays dilated so light is almost blinding. I really feel such a loss. I mean I'm so grateful that I can still see but it was kinda hard to deal with.
@@luckyPen-E - Thanks for your reply. I'm 71 was just diagnosed with both open angle glaucoma and cataract by an optometrist, now waiting to see an ophthalmologist. In the meantime I'm trying to learn about these conditions and treatments as much as possible on my own. Sounded to me your experiences with the doctors were not all positive which may have left or caused you these permanent damages. I am very sorry. My best wishes to you.
I am a white woman and was told I had very narrow angles and it was likely I had Mongolian blood lines. But in my DNA is 65%Scottish 10%Irish 17% Scandinavian and 8% British Isles. My sister had an acute attack and was lucky not to lose her vission,her treatment was lens replacement. I had an irodotomy 15 years ago,but had developed cataract on both eyes. So I went private and had both lens replaced an the NHS in England don't seem to take it seriously
Nice and simple explanation. As an Ophthalmologist, I have just one little remark, at 8:25 that figure shows an unusual sectoral iridectomy (and not a common peripheral iridectomy), otherwise excellent video.
Thanks Marco--I actually got the image from ""The best of the best: a review of select glaucoma case reports published in 2014 Digital Journal of Ophthalmology 2015". It described it as a large sectoral surgical iridectomy." However as an Emergency Physician I am happy to be corrected. Regards, Alan

hello sir, I had surgery of viterectomy for retina detached after that macula pucker surgery after that macula swelled after that got cataract with 2' open angle glaucoma after surgery vision is blurry so what's the reason? How long to get clear vision? Please let me know
Is it therapeutic to expose the affected eye to some light ? That would certainly cause miosis of the iris too, which could unblock that trabecular mesh work. Also I figure the opioid analgesic is also miotic so it's also therapeutic as well as analgesic.
I am suffering from glucoma, 3 months back my vision started to become blurred, dim low and hazy, Doctor here suggested glucoma and cataract surgery which I did almost 2 months back but no improvement , Doctor say my nerves have become damaged due to eye pressure , the pressure at present seems to be more or less normal. Is there anything can be done so that my eyesight becomes normal and I may be able to see clearly . I can see but the vision is dim and low.For example if I see out of the window and if there is a building at a distance I can see the structural and not the detailing, if I am sitting in a bright light room the light seems to be dim and focus is low. Can you kindly advise.
But I sometimes feel light pain on the back of my head, sometimes.i also feel more haziness in my left eye where glaucoma and cataract surgery is done almost 3 months back. But my both eyes have dim and low vision
Hello sir I have glaucoma.only 5 days I knew I have glaucoma I'm taking (cosopt) dorzolamide hydrochloride timolol maleate every 8 hour but I have 3 month baby I'm breastfeeding is it okay for the my baby
As a former lactation counselor, I would refer to the American Academy of Pediatrics drug safety list to be sure of the drug's classification. As I recall the few drugs classified as contraindicated while nursing were mostly illegal drugs and harsh chemo therapy drugs. Given an eye drop is a very small dose and more or less topically applied, very little would pass through your blood stream into your milk. So chances are the many benefits of nursing would out weigh the slight risk of your eye drops effecting your baby's health.
Supposed you don't have pressure issues in your eyes but have inf thin OD, very large nerves OS>OD, outside norms and 96/82, inf thin OD, larger cup? No headaches, redness, itching, burning, tearing, floaters. How is that treated? Will a good healthy diet help?
