Diabetic and Eye Damage
I have been insulin dependant diabetic for 40 years, which has been the cause of my
eye
conditions
. I was one of the first patients my consultant gave
eye
injection, I've had three steroid implants, lots of Lazer and eye injections.

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
eye
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.

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

Retinal Vein Occlusion Treatments?
Hi. I am looking for people who have or have had RVO (retinal vein occlusion) and have had Ozurdex injections to treat this issue. I'm working with a pharma client on an educational video for their website and I need to connect with people with RVO who would like to share their experience. I can provide

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

Never ending circle
Morning everyone, just looking for advice and to vent a little. I have posted a few times about my journey but finally thought I had got some answers. Quick recap- after years of being fobbed off by my GP, I eventually went private to see a rheumatologist who actually listened. Initially he diagnosed

Can you help regarding symptoms?
Full disclosure here. My ability to determine my health status is lacking. I either over-react or under-react. I never believed I had PMR but I also didn't believe I had a ruptured appendix. I am a hard worker, managing a small farm so I do feel sore at times. I am presently on 10 mgs prednisone. I

Paul Tube implant for Glaucoma
Hello, I am new here and wonder if anyone else has experience of having this surgery? After many years of using various eye drops and also an unsuccessful SLT on my right eye, my consultant advised me to have this surgery in an attempt to lower my IOP thus preventing even further loss of vision. He chose

Blood Pressure Tablets vs Glaucoma
Hi all, Does anyone have any experience with taking blood pressure tablets after being diagnosed with Glaucoma? I have moderate glaucoma in my right eye, have had a couple of surgeries (Preserflo) and have recently been diagnosed with slightly high blood pressure. I saw the Physician Associate today

PA and Sjogren’s
I posted a few days ago about dry mouth and eyes, but since then my early sjogrens bloodwork has come back positive. I am terrified! Is there anyone else who has AIG/PA and also sjogrens? I feel desperately in need of some hope and guidance…in particular I’m wondering if injections have helped with SS
