Bad disease that does not have symptoms....the only symptom you will see is blindness, if you are lucky, one eye first or peripherial vision. On your own, go for ocular checkup ones a year. 1 Like |

Ouf reseafchers should doore on this disease till now no cure has been found just some expensive eye drop to arrest its growth and many poor pple might not visit clinic again when they are not seeing changes and they are spending much on a daily basis so it turns so many pple blind completely. Also the causes of it has not been found all they claim is heredity. May God safe His pple sha am sure my God can reverse the irrivasible sha |

gabonsky:This article is ALMOST useless as it does not state possible causes and prevention of glaucoma. I have a boss who had to go through 4 surgeries in Israel and was only able to salvage one eye from total blindness. 1 Like |

Glaucoma is a tragic disease. it has cause permanent blindness to my dad after series of operation. worse of it, is the pain he do pass through daily. upon which you spend almost 12k every 4weeks for eye drops like cosorpt and Travatan. the earlier you detect it, the better your chances of saving your sight. 2 Likes |

I am a glaucoma patient. I have completely lost my vision in one eye. I am trying my best to preserve the last eye. The treatment is eyedrop. Surgery is not the best treatment please. For those that are lucky to detect their's early, please avoid eating plenty salt. Stop doing streinous exercises. Stop consuming excess alcohol. Cut down on smoking, if you cannot stop it. Stop using aphrodisiacs. Stop reading for more than 30mins at a stretch. Stop using your smartphones at very high screen brightness. Stop driving at night, except when there are no other road users that can dazzle you. Note: the eye drops will greatly reduce your libido and don't see it as impotence. Choose wisely between your visiblity and a 30mins fun. Lastly, i wish all glaucoma patients a speedy recovery. And for those who have sound vision, i pray you shall never fall victim to the disease called GLAUCOMA. I wish us a blissful Glaucoma Week! 3 Likes |

Waladade4luv: Our researchers The thing is pretty simple, saying dey should cure glaucoma is like saying dey should cure STROKE! The damage done to the optic nerve head is irreversible! When a nerve atrophies in d CNS it does not regenerate! The drops u take cannot bring back a DEAD blood vessel, all they do is lower d pressure in d eyes because increased pressure leads to nerve death.. |

LordIsaac:. Let me just say little Glaucoma is caused by several factors... first it can be genetic or acquired. it's characterized by raised intraocular pressure. A trauma to your eye, an untreated eye condition and abuse of steroid-containing eye drops could all lead to raised intraocular pressure, in turn leading to Glaucoma (acquired). Most cases in Nigeria are Genetic. Most times there are no symptoms for Glaucoma (you may just wake up one day and it has eaten up your vision) on few occasions, you experience pain. There is no cure for Glaucoma. it can only be managed by seeing a doctor regularly. The earlier you are diagnosed of it, the better your chances of preserving your vision. It's advisable you go to a good eye clinic regularly to see a doctor. 1 Like 1 Share |

scully95: Beautiful question. Glaucoma is hereditary.And the moSt shocking thing is there is no symptoms other than regular eye check.You can imagine my shock last year when I was diagnosed with suspected glaucoma. How?My nine years old son went for his usual regular eye check ups and to my dismay I was told to bring my wife.Her eyes were checked and was told it's not her.I was still lost.I was told to bring a relation in my family.Came with my elder sister,when she was checked they saw traces and amazingly that was how my eyes were checked.The rest is history. I have being attending the clinic with my son periodically. Glaucoma is irreversible but can be managed when detected early.The bad thing about glaucoma is one eye is gone for good but because the other eyes still aids vision one thinks they can see.Until they finally loose both eyes. Regular check up is the key.Hope I educated you. 2 Likes |

arewaboy01: Yes, Marijuanna to be precise, but it only reduces the eye pressure level for 3 to 4 hours. Therefore,it only works for 4 hours max. How many of it then will you have to take in a day. NB ; Glaucoma has no cure, it can only be managed. Thanks. |

paulsir: Oh wow sorry to hear that. . Yeah I was supposed to be operated too but I prefer using the eye drops for life. I dont get the message part. How does it work? |
Re: 1.8 Million Nigerians Suffering Glaucoma by paulsir: 9:13am On Mar 15, 2017 |
Musty856:you must have done surgery before massaging. Actually that surgery was tedious and mind blowing. imagine getting 3 injections on each eye before they operate then and also one each after . There was this former Nigerian goal keeper that had his session after my own. The guy died in the theater. I think his name is best ogedengbe. |
