  • 👀 What is Glaucoma?
    Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that can lead to vision loss and blindness. It is caused by damage to the optic nerve, which carries visual information from the eye to the brain.
    👉 What are the risk factors:
    Risk factors for glaucoma include age, especially over the age of 60, family history, high IOP, African-American or Hispanic heritage, diabetes, and previous eye injury.
    👉 What is the treatment:
    Treatment for glaucoma typically involves lowering IOP to reduce further damage to the optic nerve. This can be accomplished through the use of medications, laser therapy, or surgery. In some cases, a combination of treatments may be used.

    I'm 29 and I have had glaucoma for 20 years and I've been on eye drops for a long time. So far my glaucoma is stable and I'm not losing any more sight!

      Damage caused by glaucoma can not be reversed you can just stop further damage using drops

      ​@@nahomdagnachew3110Yes glaucoma is a lifelong condition I have and whatever Vision I lose from it I can get it back. The only thing I could do is take my eye drops like I'm supposed to and see my glaucoma specialist every 4 months to make sure it's not progressing and if it is then my doctor will either put me on another eye drop or give me a laser surgery.

    I'm 55 years old now, but since I was a teenager of 15 years old, I used to notice that frequently after yawning, some drops of fluid would come out of my eyes, the same has been continuing until now. After seeking advice from an ophthalmologist, I came to know that I was suffering from a disease resembling black-cataract. But actually not that particular disease. In the way that I've lost my eyesight during the past 12-13 years both nearer and farther eyesight, I felt the danger of blindness in future. Can this disease be a glucoma? Otherwise it can be a disease related to age and only be treated after cataract surgery. Please give your kind suggestions.

    We often use our eyes to equalize intraocular pressure, but after injuries and surgery, you can't do that...
    You just can't cure glaucoma with drops, you need to change your lifestyle...
    The pressure in the eye is increased due to the spongy Trauber network clogged with fibrous blood, which removes 75% fluid into the Helmet channel. This often happens after getting blood due to eye injuries, or eye surgery, sugar, malnutrition and... etc..
    There is more fluid entering the eyes than leaving....
    Which really helps!
    It is necessary to improve fluid drainage, but how?:
    1 Improve rheology (fluidity...) diet (for example, diabetics), cans to improve lymph flow, leeches are the best... and so on
    2 Improve blood vessels (contrast shower!!!, vitamins C and much more ...)
    3 Mechanically help to remove fluid from the eyes (massage around the eyes to drain lymph ..., alternately squeezing- squeezing out excess fluid if you can not rub your eyes due to surgery or injury, etc.) ...
    Everything is correct. But not all of them... I'll add it... In order for the blood to be "liquid", proper nutrition is necessary!!!, without excess sweet, flour, potatoes, etc.
    A good outflow is helped by proper MASSAGE of the eyes and adjacent areas and neck. But it also helps a lot to alternately close your eyes!!! An eye to squeeze out!!! excess fluid from the eyes into the lymph via the trabecular network (spongy tissue is clogged with fibrous blood after surgery or injury), into the Helmet canal.
    Massage of lymphatic vessels draining fluid near the eyes and ears, as well as from the entire head helps to prevent and treat GLAUCOMA!!!
    A daily contrast shower helps, or at least applying hot wet or cold wipes to the eyes to train the elasticity of the vessels around the eyes, and the entire head. All this prevents GLAUCOMA, which is almost impossible to cure in any other way. Only if you put leeches to thin the blood. Regular cupping and cupping (hijams) also help to improve the rheology of blood and lymphatic fluid.
