My father has had it since he was 25, he's now 52 and the situation has gotten worse in the last two years. He luckily got surgery from one of the best glaucoma doctors here. He described it to me like you guys did, he saw white dots and had a blurry vision, his left eye sadly isn't working anymore and he's completely blind in that eye. His right eye is much better but not good either. The surgery he had was the MIGS one (Mini Invasive Glaucoma Surgery, I believe?) where they put a microscopic tube in his eye and changed his crystalline and got rid of his Myopia too. The first day he described his vision as totally white as if he had a lamp right into his eye. Then, after like 10 days, he started panicking because he couldn't see in his right eye anymore either. He rushed to the hospital and luckily recovered and came back home after like 10 days (One of his vessels exploded and he had an eye hemorrhage. Luckily, all of the blood got adsorbed and the vision returned.) After like a month he started saying his vision is getting (a little) better, but sometimes still had the flashing white. It's now been over one month and a half since the surgery and his vision goes by days. Sometimes good, sometimes bad.. He has to get a visit at the clinic where the specialist works to see if he can use glasses or he has to wait. He went back to work but obviously he can't do the things he did because it's on the computer and he would only hurt his eye, but he goes there and does everything he can on paper. I wanted to let you guys know my experience (well, my father's) to see if someone has had something similar. I started getting more information lately, so I know more about this disease and can tell when something is wrong. I have known today that Glaucoma is hereditary and I'm scared I have it too. But, luckily, the last eye visit I did ,(one or two months ago, I don't exactly remember), I didn't have high eye pressure, so I know atleast for now that my vision is still safe. I am so sorry for everyone that has this disease, it's really nothing to joke about, as you may have it and you don't know it. Please y'all be cautious about your eyes and don't take it easy, a lot of people I know have had this disease and some of them are now blind because of it. Don't wait until it gets worse, get surgery done asap so you can prevent more permanent damage. Stay safe and healthy! 🥰
What eyedrops did he takes? I have glaucoma both eyes. but luckily i think i prevent it from grtting worst thru an eye surgery this month right eye 2022. my left eye 2016.
@@jhoneldavegomez3316 Hi! My father has used since he was 25 Izba drops, he would do one drop on both eyes every morning. Now, after the surgery, he has a whole list of medications including Azarga, Eumill for eye dryness, and TRUSOPT. But I would say use the surgery drops since you're about to get surgery, they actually keep the pressure stable. Hope this helps!
@@ayooya8963 Thank you so much! :) I've already undergo surgery last sept 6, 2022. I'm a casino dealer on a sick leave 2-3weeks. My eyes are back to normal now having 10-15 eye pressure. but my check ups is continuous. God bless! Fighting! Take care always.
I recently undergo a eye surgery. this month(right eye) Sept 2022. My left eye(2016). I hope all of you are okay even though we're all got some issues ij our eyes. Just continue to take eyedrops that can prevent glaucoma from getting worst. 👀 always pray! :) Every little things gonna be alright.
I'm 25 and I have glaucoma and both of my eyes. I have to take eye drops and see my eye doctor every 4 months for the rest of my life. Glaucoma it's going to be a permanent marker on my eyes as long as I live until my heart stops.

This is a pretty dang good example. I think Vaseline would be more accurate than the white out however. It’s a frustrating and strange disease. If I look at someone’s neck, they are headless. If I look at their mouth, they have no eyes. I constantly have to scan with my eyes to utilize what hasn’t been damaged. Which unfortunately isn’t much left.
Similar to me. Except if I look at their neck, I can still see their head, but their facial features disappear. So, like a face with no eyes or nose. But, that is only in my right eye. My left eye is still very good. So, when looking with both eyes, I still have fairly good vision. Just had my eyes lasered today for the second time, to help keep the pressure down.
I had glaucome since iwas born and i still do i had soooo mamy operations and i have it on my left eye i use treatment but still glaucone is worse than some ppl think those who dont have it are lucky
You just think it crushed you, if I may. I don`t remember who said that there comes a time when you have to be strong because this is all that`s left. it may have come for me, too. And, if I may, drowning problems in alcohol won`t help either, they come back the next day and dishes don`t wash themselves, you can still dance and do some light sport with glaucoma. You have to cut down on different things, but chocolate and alcohol can be reduced a lot. Nobody to dance with - well, if I were you I would buy a robot, don`t think I am joking. I`ve been to losses and face different problems - spinal neuropathy - under control since July 2018, thank God, glaucoma - moderate, but still under control, irritable bowel - physical activity has helped me a lot. The only real problem I faced was that, whenever I had an argument with a retard, I thought he was gonna punch me in my glasses - you know, especially if I had to jump to hit him hard, in the back or elseway, although I am 180 cm tall. You just have to respect some big rules and just compare with people who face problems - you are one of them. I am one of them. Sorry for my last formulation: I thought a more distant and cynical approach may help me and others, but it actually wouldn`t. I wish you good luck!
I’m 27 and had to live with Glucoma since birth. I have to take eye drops regularly and have to attend my eye appointments every six months to a year depending on my eye pressure. I can see colours and the difference between light and dark.
Both of my parents have traces of glaucoma in there families. My mom has it too. I’m starting to get tunnel vision and migraines. I’m really scared that I’m getting it. My vision is already terrible.
I'm a glaucoma suspect. Nothing is wrong other than my optic cup is thin. My Dr told me people have a donut shaped nerve in the back of our eyes. My nerve's hole is abnormally big. They don't know if I was born this way or if it just gradually got damaged. That's why I'm a suspect. My pressure is normal as are all other parts of my eyes. I see the specialist every 3 months. Go back in January. Is there anything I can do to help repair my optic nerve(eat healthy, exercise)? Anything I can do unknowingly to make it worse? Don't want to do that.
Both my parent had it, I’ve been diagnosed with 50% loss and 25% loss in my eyes , I’ve been try to get someone to tell me what was wrong with my eyes,
I’ve had glaucoma since I was about 10 years old which caused me to be almost completely blind in my left eye. Often times I feel alone like no one my age understands me but reading this, is a reminder I’m not. 💜
Be strong my friends. My brother was diagnosed a few years ago and I try to do everything I can to support him. The future looks bright for glaucoma studies and hopefully something new is found that can help even more.
VIA LIV I feel really sorry for your vision issues, I thought for a moment I was having glaucoma and I was already crying in fear. But, thanks god 🙏🏻 it wasn’t glaucoma it’s more like ocular migraine which is a different eye problem. Hope you’re doing better, and hopefully in the future there’s a cure for glaucoma.
