Those surgery cure glaucoma or those surgery help eye pressure to become there by making one worry free about vision.
What if someone has lost his vision a bit, can lens medication be use for clearer vision.
God bless you Doctor.

surgery is usually the last resort if drugs fail to bring down the pressure to the desired or in cases where there's very severe damage to the eye nerves already or in managing a variant of glaucoma called narrow angle glaucoma . Secondly, glasses or contact lenses cannot help when vision is lost from glaucoma

I have to clarify that there isn't cure for glaucoma. it is only managed throughout life. whether or not surgery is done, you'll have to constantly go for followups .

Good afternoon doc...

I usually experience blur vision with my left eye and it's always itching me..
When I want to take something,i don't see it until it's been point to me. even when am reading a book, the text looks scattered and I have to relax for a while before reading again and the process continue..

do you experience headaches and tearing when you engage your eyes? anyways I suspect you are having a refractive error and may be needing glasses but only an eye exam can tell what the problem is. I suggest you make an appointment for one

Yes. tho the headache is not constant and when am scratching it, it makes some sound that I can't just explain..

try not to itch. go make an appointment with your eye doc and u'll be given meds to help with the itching too.

when I went for medical examination in school, I did eye test and my left eye result was 6over18 and the right eye was 6over9. the result wasn't interpreted. does that mean I have a poor sight?? my right eye is perfectly fine,i only experience issues with the left eye

your right eye isn't perfectly fine either although it has better vision than the left eye. standard vision is 6/6 . you would likely be needing glasses to help both eyes see better

hi there sorry fr d late replies. i'm just coming across ur post. pls when needing my attention here endeavor to mention or quote me so i get notified . the sandy sensation you are having could be associated with different eye conditions. it would take an eye examination to know the exact cause. i ll advise u make out time to see an eye doctor if u re still hving the symptom.

I'm grateful for your response.I went to see a Doctor at a General Hospital in my locality. He prescribed chloramphenicol eye drop and a few tablets.He plans to send me to an eye specialist if I don't improve. In the meantime I appear to have gotten worst.I can barely open the eye when it's sunny.l plan to get back to him in the new year though. l only hope it won't be too late for me

He told me he was a "general practitioner" so can't handle my issue beyond a certain level. Meanwhile I'm getting worst.I'm so troubled.I constantly fear losing my sight. Last night I had a dream I have lost my sight!

lolz calm down . maybe you thought so much about it hence dream. it took u long to seek professional help. you complained about it in January and now it's December. make an appointment with an eye doc. let the gp refer u to one if u do not know of any . best wishes and Season greetings

please doctor how can one conclude that glaucoma has set in, am confuse.
eye test 6/6)left and 6/6)right eye
eye pressure 17 and 19 irrespectively, although two weeks back it was measuring 41 and 29 left n right eye. after some medication it dropped.
can read clearly small letters during eye test.
so tell me please is the optic nerve damage, is this glaucoma.

one could have glaucoma and still have standard vision (6/6) as peripheral vision is usually affected first and not central vision (giving u a 6/6 vision now). if not properly managed, central vision would become affected in the later stage. good it was discovered early. with that high pressure record and the much difference in pressure reading between the two eyes initially makes it a high suspicion of glaucoma. a visual field analysis /Oct may be needed to establish the suspicion as a true glaucomatous case but most likely, it is.

doc. thanks a lot
what stage of glaucoma is this,also if patient follow up with medication and check up from this stage is there any need to panic that one might loss his vision in the near future.
since one is having normal pressure range if one continues the medication is there any harm if it becomes too low(eye pressure).

there isn't any need to panic if you adhere to your meds and go for routine eye checks as your vision can be very well preserved. you will hardly find a case of too low eye pressure arising . if the individual is placed on a combination of anti glaucoma drugs in order to achieve a target pressure, d doctor knows at what point to withdraw some of those drugs and which to place u on to maintain the pressure. like I stated in the previous reply, it's what is to be managed throughout life and to be done with your eye doctor.

hello doc, I noticed I get to see flashes at d corner of my right eye for some days now pls is it something to get worried about or it's just a minor issue?

Hello house, I always experience mild pain in my right eye and sometimes too on my left which later develops into a migraine when using my phone, initially I tought its because my phone got a small screen (2.5inch or so). So yesternight I tried using a friends 6inched phone, and it even felt worst..I was going to try installing an eye care feature when I later get to change my phone buh I don't know how effective this will be.I was told I had photophobia..
So please docs what do you suggest I do?..
