About This Video:
Have you been diagnosed with Primary open angle glaucoma? Well if you are researching the treatment of glaucoma or how to treat glaucoma then this video is for you. There are many different glaucoma medications out there and with these different drugs for glaucoma you and your doctor can reduce eye pressure and hopefully delay vision loss. Treating glaucoma can be very difficult and there is no glaucoma cure, but with glaucoma drops such as latanoprost eye drops eye doctors are able to help control eye pressure. In this video I review latanoprost, a glaucoma medication, including latanoprost side effects. I also review a few glaucoma surgeries. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
❗❕❓ EYE HEALTH QOTD: Which are some of your favorite Glaucoma treatments? Do you have any questions about them? Let Me Know!
What about narrow-angle glaucoma??
Are you able to prescribe in your practice or do you refer to an opthalmologist?
@@BrokebackBob I have a full therapeutic license for prescribing medical treatment and management of glaucoma in the state of Minnesota. Most states license optometrists to manage and treat glaucoma because of our extensive training.
@@BrokebackBob narrow angle is a different cookie to crack. Most people with narrow angle require a laser treatment called an LPI to create an extra drainage Avenue through the iris to prevent angle closure and high eye pressures. Oftentimes early cataract surgery can solve this issue as well.
Hi... my father had glaucoma... he had done operation many years ago from local hospital but things did not work.. now he cannot see, now a local clinic doctor suggest him some drops to increase eyes pressure.. but things are not working... can you tell me any treatment for him please...
When I was first suspected with glaucoma, I feel my life is changed. It was a very down time. I then went to see specialist and was told having high risk but not yet develop it. I hope, really hope, there will be a way to reverse and regenerate the dead optic nerve. I hope everyone with such disease, can be treated efficiently.
🙏
🙏
My sight is fully restored and I’m free from glaucoma after many years. I got cured with the help of Dr Oyalo whom I met on TH-cam and his remedy work for me perfectly
🙏🏼
How are you dear?
I was diagnosed with glaucoma a few months ago. My pressures were 26 and 27. I was put on Xylanatan, and the pressure is 21 and 20. I have been offered laser, and am due for my next appointment, where I will decide what to do. Although the diagnosis has changed my life, I am glad that there are treatment that can save my vision.
i had a traubelectomy procedure for both eyes and still using 2 kinds of eye drop..Praying for not losing my eyesight..
Praying for you and us all✝️🙏❤️
Excellent presentation. I recommend this video as the first introduction to Glaucoma treatment options. I have used prostaglandins for many years. Each time I change eye doctors they put me on different drops. I am now on Rhopresa and Lumigan drops at night. They do lower my pressure. Now a new eye doctor is pushing SLT treatment. In the past I had tried Latanoprost which did not work though it was cheaper than Lumigan. Also tried Alphagan 3 times a day with Lumigan and it worked but was too difficult to manage the eye drop routine.
Great info for upcoming exam!!! Perfect level of detail.
I've had what's called a peripheral iridotomy done on BOTH my eyes, as I have glaucoma (open and closed-angle) and I take timolol twice a day; once in the morning and once before I go to bed at night!
In late March I had a marathon 7 hours where the surgeon did EVERYTHING in BOTH eyes:
1. Cataract surgery--regular lenses.
2. Small stents for glaucoma in both eyes.
3. Removed mesh work in both eyes.
4. A big drainage pipe in the right eye.
I can see all the way to China now. No more bifocal progression lenses, no more correction lenses. I got 20/20 now, where I used to have 20/950. No more eyeglasses!
I got pressure down to 11 and 10 in my eyes. I am still on post-op drops, but it is amazing to have normal eye pressure as that will arrest the deterioration of my optic nerve dramatically whether I have to continue some drops--or not.
I have never had any surgery before of any kind. This is a phenomenal result, and I am very grateful.
This is encouraging & am no longer scared of having my surgery
can yu recommend the doctor that did the surgery .thank you!!!!!
@@thenewdavinci1852 Yes. Email me.
U had glaucoma? And u can see now?
HELP ME PLEASE WITH DOCTORS NAME AND E-MAIL I'M DESPERATE ❤ UR ADORED ❤
My grandma uses eye drops and also had LASIK a few years ago to help her glaucoma my grandma is doing very well her optometrist is happy with how she's going
Thats great she is getting such good care! Do you get eye exams regularly?
@@DoctorEyeHealth i was supposed to have one last year but i never went but i'm waiting for a appointment with an opthalmologist but i haven't got a appointment date yet my doctor referred me to the opthalmologist because of my migraines and wants to make sure that the migraines i get have nothing to do with my eyes i'm on a preventative for my migraines which really helps i've also got (itp) idiopathic throbocytopenic purpura which means i have a low platelet count i had to have my spleen removed after trying all treatments available my splenectomy didn't end up working so i'm on nplate its a weekly injection that's meant to help my platelet count so far its working i wonder if people with (itp) can have eye problems as well thanks for replying
Here's a link about itp if your interested in reading it

Thank you Dr., you are so kind to explain so well.
Thank you Doctor for the wonderful advice. I have high pressure in both eyes. I didn't realize there were so many options for treatment. Thank you so much. I appreciate you.
Pharmaceutical industry must love you
I am getting yag laser lridotomy surgery since I have glaucoma in both eyes. I just found out 2 days ago I am freaking out. Thank u for this video I am 41yrs very healthy person.
I am so glad I found your videos. I'm 38, my left eye has strabismus and amblyopia and had muscle surgery 15 years ago. It was around that time when my eye doctor noticed elevated pressures, and I've had elevated pressures since then. My last annual exam, the eye doctor said she noticed cupping in my right eye and referred me to a glaucoma specialist. I'm already blind in my left eye this is all pretty scary.
Omg.Pretty much the same.My left eye is 20%vision and i have Glaucoma in both eyes.The worst part is that my good eye is most affected by Glaucoma.Im scared
what was ur elevated pressure...did u develop glaucoma or u were just suspect
I would recommend testing for diabeties and removing sugar and grains from diet. I had high pressures for 10 years until I was diagnosed with diabeties.
I was diagnose with Secondary Open Glaucoma because I had Uveitis. Thank you Doctor for this video. I'm using the medications you have mentioned.
Hi Chynna ^_^ What you mean secondary open glaucoma? 😕 So is there diffrent types of glaucoma? & if so can you tell me what are the types? :)
You should use preservative free drops. The ones with preservatives cause ocular surface disease, or corneal erosion.
Western medication forever can't effectively treat and reverse high tension
POAG (primary open angle glaucoma). Why?
The culprits of high tension POAG are:
a. oxidative stress, free radicals
b. AGEs (advanced glycation endproducts)
c. lipofuscin
God's mercy nano-grade eye drops should be the last-ditch treatment for
high tensiion POAG.

All glory belongs to God !
Great explanation. Work in a eye hospital in theatres and trab procedure very common now
Thank you very much for your information. Since last February, I've been prescribed four different Prostaglandin Analogs which caused me side effects and one of them - Latanoprost by Alcon prevented me from reading by chopping up the print in the book, on the TV and computer. I freaked thinking I was going blind.
Last month, my ophthalmologist recommended Xelpros which has been successful in decreasing pressure below 20 and eliminating obvious annoying side effects.
I take all those drops and more was diagnosed with glaucoma at 24 while Active duty. And this has been life changing. Love the videos still.
Thank you Doctor so much. Was just diagnosed with open angled glaucoma. Lots of worries and questions. On Lumigan drops now. Doctor says it’s mild. Your video and overall explanation and attitude just amaZing! Will be definitely watching more of you. Thank you!
Hey! Glad you liked the video! Happy to hear your seeing your doctor and that things are mild for you. Wish you the best! please let me know if you have any other questions I can help with,
I passed field test.(I think that’s the name). All other tests results came normal. No edema. No irritations. Doctor keeps on saying it’s mild and it’s good news. Should I avoid hot saunas and other physical activities? I know yoga is not recommended which was never my thing. Overall living a normal life and continue with drops IS my thing now!
Watch out for prostaglandin analogues with preservatives. They'll give you corneal erosion.
Dr. You have explained the eye drops medication superbly. Like to know more about tiny stent implant surgery.
Thank you Doctor. Have a Good week.
That was a great overview. Im getting ready to have surgery on my right eye next month. Been on Simbrinza, Vyzulta and Rocklatan for last 3 yrs. Had 2 laser surgeries that lasted 18mos.
Hoping this more invasive surgery works and with little complication.🙏
Hydrus stents, here. First one two weeks ago. Getting the other eye done next week. Positive results, so far
Thats great news Chris! What was your pressures before the stents?
@@DoctorEyeHealth . Just one stent so far. Pressure was 26 when diagnosed. 19 before Hydrus. 11 the day after
@@DoctorEyeHealth . Pressures were down to 19 and 17 with drops. 15 and 14 after stents
How are your pressures doing now 2 years later?
@@amyharris2121 . Last checked about 6 months ago. all good at 14 and 15
Love the video. Watched full video. VRA army 💪
😁👍 You Rock!
Thank you , very much , you did a great job with the presentation 👍
Also look up David Sinclair. He’s a Scientist who’s in the final r&d stages of actually reversing the negative effects in terms of the Retina and optic nerve. Kinda interesting.
IT HELPS AND I AM MOST GRATEFUL.GREAT VIDEO THANKS
You're welcome! So Glad to hear it!
Thank you so very much for this video! I have learned so much and now having Glaucoma doesn't seem so scary look forward to "seeing" and learning more from you
Thank you for the kind words Julie! I look forward to your comments 😁
For me glaucoma is like college because you have to work hard to keep your eyesight my doing the homework your glaucoma specialist gives you meaning taking your eye drops and the coming to the doctor for medical care. In college you have to work hard and do your work and come to class so you don't fail. With collagen glaucoma if you don't do your homework or come to your appointments, you are going to fail losing your eyesight and your education!

Thank you Doc, please make a video of exercising with glaucoma....please.
thank you for giving my notes on glaucoma more life! lol
I’m using latanoprost at night, timolol and zimbriza twice a day hopefully my right eye gets better.
Thanks for these videos, a great resource! What about Laser Peripheral Iridotomy?
My favorite glaucoma treatment are the drops because that is non-evasive. I was told, today, that I had open angle glaucoma and they want to have some kind of laser surgery. No one mentioned that there were drops for lowering the pressure in the eyes. I will talk to the ophthalmologist about using drops as a first resort when I see him next week.
Exactly I was discovered with glaucoma few months back it's been almost a year & when I got told about it after the x-ray they told me I might need surgery but never mentioned me I could take any sort of eye drops but I will ask to knowing surgery can be a risk
The first thing that they did for me was to give me eye drops at the hospital to lower the pressure. They also gave me a prescription for eye drops to take twice a day. Next they did the laser thing to lower the pressure, while still on eye drops. Go back next week to find out how it worked (or didn't work). If it didn't then I might need eye surgery. Hope to avoid that if possible.
What eye drops are you using?
@@my3dviewsany updates?
excellent information thanks. just back from my 3rd appointment and have lost 40% and 15% . pressure lower so thays a positive
Just a comment about brimonidine. Using these eye drops caused a decrease in my blood pressure of about 30 numbers(?). For instance,if my bp was 150/76 the medication would lower it to 120/60 (which was great - but if my bp was 120/68 the medication would lower it to 90/56). Unfortunately, it wasn't effective in lowering my IOP and medication had to be changed. Dr. is still working on trying to find an effective med. The "expensive one" is the next option. And I nearly fell off my chair when $400 was mentioned, Working with my insurance co. for an affordable price. Thanks for the information which you give us. It's most helpful.
Love this channel
Had blurry vision in my left eye and headaches, started using eyedrop and 2 days later, I got my vision fully back. I've been on drops for 3 weeks now, and I dont have any headaches or eye pain anymore and the treatment is kinda cheap too. Thank God for good medications and doctors. And thank you for the video.
Sir plz tell me which drop you are use
@@shaukatthanekar4734 it's called Misopt. Btw, I'm Nigerian so the medication could be unavailable in your location. Better yet, let a doctor prescribe the medication that's best for you.
Thanks so much bro lvl try
Thanks again
@@UssyMustyYS I'd that a glaucoma medication type that you use?
@@pdswrld5200 yeah, it's a glocoma medication, and my eye pressure went from 31 to 20 in just a month. But please, let a doctor prescribe a medication that's best for you, because glaucoma is a very complicated disease.
excellent information thank you.
Congrats on your good work. What is your opinion comparing Cosopt Eye Drops vs. Simbrinza?
When I was using Cosopt Twice daily my eyes used to get red, Switching to Simbrinza 3 months ago, also twice daily, I do not get this redness.
I have had LOTS of glaucoma treatments. One that didn’t work so well for me was the express shunt. My bubble collapsed unfortunately. I now have a tube in my right eye that I don’t think is performing so well anymore after some years. This is definitely a serious disease.
Good video and you put lots of energy which helps the audience understanding of what is being presented: Thank you. Another procedure is laser IRIDOTOMY: I am going to have it done in May 2022: one eye at the time. thus preventing the potential complication of acute angle closure, which could happen at night without any warning constituting an emergency situation that may compromise the vision by damaging the retina forever.
I take briminodine, dorzolomide, latanaprost, an pilocarpine for glaucoma
So pleased I watched this video xx
Thanks Susan! Glad you are here
Great video.
My mom just got diagnosed with glaucoma and we’re all sad and worried. Anyone on here that has positive stories to share or hope that everything will be okay 😞.
@@RA82828 thank you , it's been a year now and we're still fighting glaucoma to preserve her vision 💙
3:51 Sounds like it could be a Kim Carnes song: “Stanley Kubrick Eyes.” A ton of information all in one video. No doc has told me about surgery, other than do discourage it because they personally didn’t like it. Well done.
I have open angle glaucoma ROP ( Retinopathy of prematurity )
I got the OAG due to sudden eye pressure rising four times
First 94
seconded 66
Third 64
Fourth 55
Fun fact the eye pressure that is safe is 20 or below
Anything above that means it’s going up slowly
I am 63 with open angle glaucome. Right eye controlled with drops and left one controlled with a in-focus microshunt, which provoked a bleb that causes me pain and gave an ugly appearance and deformation of a eyeball. Even though the microsunt is working well, I am not happy with my aspect now.
I have glaucoma in the right eye I'm 45 and I've had glaucoma for the past 9 years and I've viscocanalostomy surgery
Has a trabeculectomy last month on one eye. Recovery is way more difficult then I thought. Dealing the stitches scratch the eye lid drove me nuts for two weeks. My next follow up is in a few day. Drops and laser was not doing the trick. Pressure dropped from mid/high 20’s to 4-5. Still healing. Keep up the vids. Would like to see one on recovery’s after surgeries and what to expect.
Hey thanks for sharing. I hope things continue to improve for you and the pressure stays low. I have been hoping to make more videos about surgeries too, will probably start with more common ones like cataract surgery. But hopefully in time I will have ones about more complex surgeries such as a trab. I wish you the best and thanks for watching.
Can you tell me which procedure they used and the downtime afterwards. How did your eye look after?
@@joanneramsey7723 ended up getting a Trabeculectomy done in both eyes. Right eye first and left eye 2 months later. You can’t even tell I had the surgery. My eye pressure before surgery were both in the low 30’s. Because of Covid and not knowing if and when the surgeon would get an other chance they did them both close to each other in time. But I had massive multiple vision. Example when I looked up at the moon I would see like 9 of them. The way my Dr. describe it to me is a balloon over inflated and now is under inflated and the back of my eye was all crinkled making me see multiple. Been about 2.5 years since both eyes were done. Currently eye pressures at sitting at 9 and 8. I can still see, but one eye is not the best. However, my eye dr said if I did not get the surgery when I did they would have pulled my drivers license. I can work and still drive just took about a year to feel comfortable enough to get back to normal.
Hello, thank you very much for your clear elucidation about glaucoma. The video is great and very helpful. A month ago both of my eyes had done a glaucoma surgery. Now I am recovering my eyes sight, unfortunately I am currently having suffer from a blurry vision and at night I see all lights sparkling and seems that the whole city is covered with Christmas lights. Please help me What should I do. Waiting for you kindly reply.
Jesus Christ is healer of 👀. Holy spirit. Blood Jesus. Believe
When you talk about pigment , do you mean pale eyes? . I’ve had laser, have very pale blue eyes. After two weeks the Specialist said it hadn’t worked - which I felt was a big early, and put me back on drops. I have low pressure glaucoma. 17 one eye 18 the other. The doctor wants it down to 14.
I got glasses 3 years ago. I got my optometrists notes and found out i had Glaucoma. Binocular vision dysfunction and high Myopia.
I did not get any information and still have struggled with clear sight. I am going to try contact lenses. As i have been told with -16.5 / -17.5 prescription it will be a amazing.
The laser works a little but lumigan and combigan works best.
How does antidepressants affect my glaucoma health? Are there any recommended antidepressants that I can take a while Being treated for glaucoma?
Like your videos, I have had canaloplasty surgery and am still on brominidine taratate,3 times a day.do you a new or better pressure lowering drop,as these give me cotton mouth, and make me drowsy.i am Male and 72 years old. Thank you for informational videos.
Please make a video on congenital glaucoma
Doctor Please How Can I Get The Eye Drop, Am From Ghana, God Bless You
TNX Doc. I am more concern about eye floaters. Any advice doc
I'm taking three drops in both eyes. Two in the morning and three at night. Adopt, Combigan and Travatan and I don't miss a drop. My right eye is really bad and I'm going to see a specialist next week. I've been on melds for 5 years and now I'm 62. It's kinda scary to lose your sight. So, I don't miss my drop.
How are you now
can you make a video Regarding how to correct lazy eyes. thank Alex
My doctors put me on:
Atropine 2x a day
Predforte 4x a day
Brimonidine 3x a day
Cosopt 2x a day
Latanoprost 1x a day
I’m so happy to see your video . I have glaucoma in my right eye few years ago and the doctor pro the eye drop one a day but changed my eye colour from colours eye to brown . After the surgery the doctor stopped the drops my question isn’t eye colour comes back to the original colour or not , thank you doctor ..
No.ots permanent

I'm using Krytantek and Lumigan for about 6 years to low my eyes pressure but recently my doctor talk me about the SLT because the drops are not working very well. I have pigmentary glaucoma.
Thank you.
Timolol. It stings. Dont have glaucoma but high pressure in one of my eyes after a vitrectomy. I'm a likely candidate for glaucoma in the future so this video was very informative. Thank you
When I discovered that have glaucoma and my eyes were already damaged especially my left eye total blindness was like my life is over almost tried to end my life
I'm taking the Combigan (it should have the same name in USA too)
🙏🙏🙏🙏 sir thanks for your wishes
Treatments I have heard of? Well I have had a Lazer treatment on both of my eyes that didn't drop the pressure enough. I was put on Zioptan and it did well for about 9 months. I was put on Rocklatan and had a horrible reaction, really itchy eyes. So I am now back on Zioptan and timolol. Hopefully when I go back for a pressure check this is working.
I am using brimodine of brimochek 0.2% do you think it is okay to use alone. Or which combination will be better with it.
Hallo Dr., Today first time I am watching your some videos on glaucoma. I have " Open angle glaucoma", as per prescription I am using:
1. Systane Lid wipes, 2. Optive gel eye drops,3. Luminan 0.01% w/v, eating kale, carrot, beets, banana, blue berry, milk. If you have any advice pls. So so, your opinion will be great to save my future. I am 74 yrs. women, prediabetic, taking metformin tablet twice. Thanks 🙏 Bye, Canada 🇨🇦
I'm on Dorzolomide for my glaucoma.
Your video is very helpful and educational because I’ve inherited this disease from my mother side.
I take Diamox and Kaleroyd, to prvent blood storns to form in my kidnyes.
Excellent.
Glad you think so!
What’s your opinion on ABiC? And if I forgot for a day to take my drops,how much risk is it to vision?
I deeply resent that I wasn't warned about the loss of periorbital loss of fat with prostaglandin eyedrops. My eyes are all sunken in, and I look like a zombie. And watch out for the eyedrops with preservatives. They'll cause corneal erosion.
Have used blue,yellow and orange caps, cataract and glaucoma surgery next..😎
I had a treatment called goniotomy in conjunction with cataract surgery which lowered my pressures a great deal. I was removed from the three drops I was taking for about two years after which I was put back on drops. I did not hear you discuss this.
Hello Dr. I was diagnose to have open angle glaucoma since I am 19 yrs old. In the past 7 months I am using timolol, but I still see rainbow halos in the light, for almost 1 yr now, what is a posible cause of that? Last time i have an eye checkup with my doctor, the pressure of my eye is low and getting to normal again
My doctor's first line treatment was SLT laser surgery. The results didn't last and he did it again. It also didn't last and I've been on eye drops for a year and the pressure is back up again and he's doing SLT for a third time next week.
Hi Doctor, I had a laser treatment on my eye for diabetes and two days later when I woke up I wasn't able to see for about 10 min and my eye started to feel irritated and had headaches, so I called retnal specialist and went to see him the next day and said my pressure was super high 45 (I have never heard or new anything about pressure in the eyes) and after a month of trying to lower the pressure with drops and wasn't able to. he referred me to a glaucoma specialist which tgey had to perform a emergency surgery..and thank to the doctor that did the first laser now my life changed, haven't been able to drive or see well and soon I will need another surgery because my body is rejecting the valve and my pressure is way high again😭😭
My spouse also has diabetes. Could you explain first part when you said laser treatment for diabetes? I'm sorry it happened to you. How are you now?
If someone has dark brown eyes will it change the colour too, like make it honey colour or lighter?
My glaucoma started when I had a myelogram that went sour before a proposed 2nd back surgery. Headaches for 20 years. To me, a direct correlation, but I could not find any information on this situation.
Do you have any information on this, probably infrequent occurance? The headaches were in the back of my head where I believe the optic nerve also has presence.
Been using latanoprost (at night) and timolol (2x/day) for years but my pressure still hovers in 18-20 range.
My ophthalmologist just retired. Looking for a new doc in the Tom's River, NJ area.
Your vid was very informative.
Thank you Doctor, what are your thoughts on SLT and the new citicoline studies for wide-angle(?) glaucoma at NY optical from Dr. Chan?
Can u send me the name of Eye drops which good for glaucoma to prevent or to lesser until I got the big amount for operation help me plz
So far so good with Lumigan.
I’m not sure if you are able to answer this but, i take Dorzolamide and Brimonide in combination with each other does that mean i have close Angle glaucoma? Thanks Dr Alan
Thanks
Any vitamins could u suggest plz
Should the eye drops be used if you have sclerobuckle ? (Prostaglandins and Timolol)
Unfortunately we have experienced abusive treatment at our local hospital eye care clinic as post op. treatment for Trabeculoctomy. This feels dehumanising and leaves us with no faith in the public health care system in Australia. Ironic as stress is also a cause for high eye pressure and high blood pressure in general.
I am scheduled for more tests this week, but at my last appointment, my eye pressure had gone from 16 to 21, but my blood pressure has always been low, so my doc said she may prescribe more salt in my diet to actually raise my BP as a treatment for glaucoma if that is my diagnosis. What is the normal course of treatment for someone with Lower BP but higher eye pressure? Thanks
Hello pls tell me what should be done best with glaucoma with dry eyes. Treating with all drugs till date but moisturizers 😟
That is the kind of drops that I put in my eyes.
In England we don't pay for treatment but saying that there is a long wait to be seen. My optician referred me to the eye hospital because the pressure was high in my left eye and it took a year before they could see me I know these are difficult times but by the time I was seen the pressure in that eye was 36 and damage had been done although my sight is still good in that eye I wish I had gone to a private hospital and payed and probably would have been seen in a week or 2. I am now on Latanoprost
