There is a lot more to glaucoma treatment than you'd expect, so I'm here to break down how the various drops function and how they can be used together to achieve the best result-lower eye pressure and reduced progression of vision loss!

I have a few videos about cataracts that may help you! Cataracts, unlike glaucoma cannot be treated with drops. Hopefully these can help answer some questions. :) kzread.info/dash/bejne/Z4l7j9xrg5zaoto.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/pqR2sdp_edqfnag.html
Are drops necessary if the pressure is 20 in one eye, and 21 in the other?

Hello, I appreciate your comment. This is an excellent question that I plan to address in a future video, so stay tuned! Every person's diagnosis, treatment, and vision prognosis is so variable, it's not possible for me to know what any individual should expect, but I hope I can answer generally in the future. Your doctor will be the best one to answer this question, because they know the details of your individual case. I wish the very best for you and your vision!

Seeing waves when looking at straight lines or a grid could indicate a problem in the macula, and should be checked right away by an eye doctor to pinpoint the exact cause and treat accordingly.

It depends on where you live. Eye drops for glaucoma are available in pharmacies with a prescription from a doctor. In other countries, sometimes prescriptions aren't needed to get the drops from a pharmacy, but it's important to have an exam where a doctor can discuss potential side effects or contraindications (some drops shouldn't be taken if certain health conditions are present) and to make sure the drops are working sufficiently.

You're gorgeous! Sapiophillia! 😆
Latanoprost acts in a way similar to homeopathy. Combigan is a combination of medicines that act like A beta blocker . Shitty meshwork is the most common cause of glaucoma. A most valubable surgery is called Trabeculectomy Maintaining eye pressure is the name of the game. There's plenty of anecdotal evidence that lifestyle and nutrients diet cutting out alcohol help with the condition. Some people benefit from cannabis But not enough of an effect for most people to keep the high pressure under twenty. Even though you don't understand it take your drops. Show up for your appointments. There are other Eye diseases that the Glaucoma People will pick up on. As with all diseases keep your weight down.
