DVLA vision test
I know I have glaucoma in one eye so when I filled out the form online I ticked the box for
eye
conditions
. I’m pretty certain that one of the questions was one or both eyes, I ticked one eye only. Few week later got the dreaded DVLA letter.

EYE HEALTH: RELATIONSHIP OF PMR, PRED & MTX TO GLAUCOMA, CATARACTS, & DRY EYE
The

conditions
have been generated or accelerated by the strong meds. Of course, being 81 yrs old is a contributing factor. Stressors like losing family and friends exacerbates such physical infirmities. But I am content. I have been quiet on this site for many months.

Rituximab and Denosumab
Has anyone had a Denosumab injection after having a Retuximab infusion. I have just had my second infusion and due a Denosumab injection soon. Just read that Denosumab can increase the risk of serious infection with Rituximab. Rheumatology have said that it's OK, but I don't trust them.

Faricimab injections and exercise
I’ve just been diagnosed with wet AMD R eye - my long sighted eye I used to use for driving - sadly no more - and dry AMD L eye (shortsighted) After each injection we are instructed to not do a variety of things including physical exertion for 5 days. No one has yet explained why no exertion and what

Advice on Cataract surgery / narrow angle
Hi all, First I must apologise, I am new to Glaucoma and looking to get some guidance from ideally someone who may have had a similar experience. I am a 44 year old male who was diagnosed with narrow angles following a routine eye exam. My eyesight is pretty good and I only wear reading glasses occasionally

Pegasys Side Effects
Hello All - Two months ago I started injecting 45mcg of Pegasys weekly. During this time I have developed dry mouth which is most pronounced in the morning. I drink what I think is a lot of water, and even during the night I awaken several times to drink water. So the issue doesn't seem to be very

Uvetis and Glaucoma and detached retinas
Hi, wondering what treatment people are having if they have uveitis and secondary glaucoma as result of this? I'm asthmatic so only one type of drop is suitable for me. Can't have drugs or SLT to bring pressure down. I heard GATT had successful outcomes but not sure if available outside of Birmingham

Cataract surgery
I often read the experiences on CLL shared by our group on HealthUnlocked, and it's reassuring. I was diagnosed with CLL in 2013. After a long period of watch and wait (W&W), I was given only 2 cycles of chemo (BR) in 2019 instead of the planned 6 cycles due to severe side effects. Fortunately, I experienced
