    WOW!!! I’m 43 and have had Open angle glaucoma since the age of 15. 28 years later I now know all the lingo my doctors talk. Unfortunately I’m really starting to see my Peripheral vision disappear. I actually take every eye drop you mentioned in your video. I’ve had the a couple surgeries as well to no avail. My tube shunt didn’t take or the other one you mentioned unfortunately. The bubble wouldn’t stay up. I’m assuming at some point I’ll be blind. Im very optimistic though and don’t really let if effort me in any negative way. Thanks for such a great video.

      it's just a matter of time
      before science figures out
      how to regenerate damaged
      nerve tissue in most health

    Thank you very much for this explanation. In my case the pressure was initially measured at 45 up to 47 only in the left eye. It was really a surprise to me that this was substantially larger that what is considered an increased pressure, since I see that even 30 is considered high.

      Cupping actually occurs due to loss of nerve fibres - less nerve fibres leaving at the cup therefore a greater CD ratio - like stems of flowers in a vase

    I have suffered with this inherited disease for over 20 years and had a very successful left eye trabeculectomy 2 years ago. As a consequence I now only use Cosopt and Travatan in my right eye.

    I just found out I had this a few months ago. I went for an eye exam after 4 years because I really needed a new pair of glasses. They checked the pressure 4 different times because it was unusually high. It was sitting right at 21-24 each time. The doctor started me on Brimonidine drops right away and a low dose of that every day was enough to bring it down to 14-16. Luckily, they are now bringing me back for regular visual field tests and pressure checks, and so far everything is normal. It scared the shit out of me though. I don't want to go blind.

    • @jenw7277
      @jenw7277 Před rokem +1

      I had an eye doctor appointment today. My doc said the pressure was 30 in my eye. Won’t be a month for my appointment to check peripheral vision, he said most likely glaucoma and start eye drops. Huh should I get a second opinion? Sooner?

    • @theVoid524
      @theVoid524 Před rokem +4

      @@jenw7277 I guess it wouldn't hurt to get a second opinion, but that sure sounds like glaucoma if your pressure was that high. They will definitely want to do a visual field test too.

    I was diagnosed with glaucoma last year when i was just 13
    The pressure of my left eye is greater than my right eye. But the doctor said both of my eyes have glaucoma so she gave me drops to control the pressure of my eye
    I didn't understand any of her explanation so i decided to research glaucoma
    This vid helped a lot and glaucoma is quite scary-

      I’ve had it since about the same age. I’m 43 now and I’ll tell you as a person who’s been dealing with it for 28 years to take care of your eyes. Always take your drops. I’ve over the past couple years started noticing my peripheral vision going away slowly. I’ve never been really 100% consistent consuming my medication. Make damn sure you do.

    I love your videos! I’m not even close to a med student-you’re just good at explaining terms and conditions clearly. BUT in this one, you left out how the aqueous humour affects the vitreous humour. Do they connect somewhere? Are they just different names based on their locations? How can increasing pressure at the front of the eye increase the pressure at the back? Doesn’t the lens block them from affecting one another?
