High IOP after removal of ICL lens. Dilemma…
Meanwhile I’m now on 4 types of glaucoma
eye
drops
. Cosopt,
alphagan
, glanatec & eybelis, but the pressure still ups and down. The pressure will still be around 20-30 range even without any eye drops (I tried it for few days recently), so I stopped the drops.

questions
In the summer, I noticed sporadic noises in one ear. It only happened at night, when lying down to sleep. It was almost like a deep and faint squeak. It lasted 2 days and went away. Months later, after developing a sinus cold, it returned. I did not react immediately as I thought it would pass. After

Simbrinza eye drops
I have been prescribed Simbrinza eye drops as a new method of treatment to bring my eye pressures down. My eye pressures are 23 and 20. These new drops are to be taken twice a day together with Bimatoprost once per day. I have done some background reading on these new drops and the side effects were

I have closed angle Glaucoma and use Monopost eye drops every evening which keeps my pressures around 20. I have had a laser Iridotomy. Just lately I have been feeling very low having lost a couple of friends and been involved in a car accident. I am thinking of taking anti depressants ( first time

Appointment Update
Hello. Following my recent post about my dry eyes, I had my follow-up appointment on Monday nearly 4 months post right trabeculectomy & it did not go well. Had a visual field test and eye scan. No change to my right eye but my left eye continues to lose peripheral vision. The pressure was elevated even

Monopost Eye Drops
Hi, does anyone know of an alternative eye drop to monopost. I have been prescribed this to take in each eye once a day at night but after 2 weeks am finding it unbearable even though I am using eye lubrication drops to try and help with the itchy soreness.

Simbrinza shortage?
Over the years my opthamologist and I have settled on Simbrinza eye drops as the best for my glaucoma. Yesterday my pharmacist tells me he can't find the drops anywhere and he's going to keep looking. We're in SE London area. Any suggestions? Thanks

Taking Ibuprofen whilst on Cosopt eye drops
Good morning, I am suffering from bad lower backache, I wanted to check if I am ok to take Ibuporfen whilst taking Cosopt eye drops twice a day. I have looked online etc but cannot find anything. I have taken Paracetamol but it’s just not shifting. Many thanks

Hair thinning
This is probably a silly question, however I have had multiple different eye drops over the past 7 years for my Glaucoma, and are currently using Travatan and Combigan. Had anybody noticed any changes in hair thinning or hair loss. I seem to have thinning of my hair and are concerned, if this continues

Iopidine
Hello everyone, is anyone having problem with getting GP to prescibe Iopidine eye drops? My GP is refusing to prescribe it, saying its coming up as a red flag. Does anyone know what it means? This was prescribed by a consultant at hospital on 22nd March, when I was put on a waiting list for presserflo

Normal pressure glaucoma -having a rant
I’ve just recently been diagnosed with normal pressure glaucoma. I’ve always been very short sighted so Ive always had regular eye checks from a contact lens optician and a different specs optician. I go to the same place every year. About 18months ago my contact lens optician said that the thinning

Photosensitivity, eye pain and headache.
I have been photosensitive for about three years now but this year I seem to be struggling with quite intense eye pain and subsequent headache (around the forehead) when outside. The headache goes upon going into deep shade or into the house. I do however, find myself squinting even in the home. I do

Nafarelin/Synarel down reg - when did you get period?
Hi I'm currently doing the above nasal spray for my down regulation as I was told there is a nationwide shortage of buserelin which I used in my first cycle. I started on Saturday 4th May and was told I should get a period in around a week but still no period or signs of it. Has anyone done the same

Eye surgery
my doctor told me he wants to do surgery on my eye to straighten out a crease on the retina membrane. At the same time he said he will do a procedure that might eliminate the need for the injections I’ve been having for AMD. is anyone familiar with this?

Posterior vitreous detachment
I had an unexpected issue in the last few days which started with large black flashes then the following day black ‘squiggles’ - went to Eye AandE and they said nothing to do with my normal tension glaucoma and I will have to live with this annoying condition which is very distracting. Has anyone else

Prednisone vs Acterma with steroid induced diabetes. Really terrified
Update: April 2024 was scheduled for eye surgery for Strabismus which was canceled days before when in the same week I was determined by my Endocrinologist to have steroid induced diabetes which makes the general anesthesia too risky at this point. Rescheduled for August tentatively while we work on

Trabeculectomy tips?
Hi I was diagnosed two or three years ago just prior to my 50th birthday. Drops have been ok but left eye seems to be deteriorating quite rapidly. I am having a trabeculectomy in my left eye in a couple of weeks. I know surgery is experienced differently for everyone but wondered if anyone had any tips
