My mother has glaucoma, and she has now lost around 70% of her vision in one eye. Several eye doctors have told us that the vision loss cannot be reversed.
I would like to know how we can best take care of her condition and protect the vision she still has. Are there any treatments, procedures, lifestyle changes, or other options that could help prevent further vision loss?
I would really appreciate advice from ophthalmologists or anyone with experience dealing with advanced glaucoma. Thank you.
I’ve had increasing flare/glare for the past ~2 months. I notice it more while driving at night, especially with bright lights, and sometimes with blue/bright lights. I also experience some disorientation/distortion when looking at many fine lines together, such as in elevators or patterned areas.
I recently visited an eye hospital. My prescription was:
Right: −6.00 SPH, −1.00 CYL × 10°
Left: −3.25 SPH, −0.75 CYL × 160°
They checked my eye ,did a scan and did a dilated examination, and the senior doctor discussed IPCL/ICL as an option for my refractive power.
However, I’m not particularly interested in refractive surgery just to avoid glasses. My main concern is understanding why this flare/glare has increased recently and whether there is an underlying eye problem causing these symptoms.
What tests or evaluations would be appropriate to identify the cause?
Yesterday I got checked my pressure was 12 (GAT)
Also in my reports it shows Anterior Chamber: Normal in contents and depth pacd=1ct and Deep and and Quiet.
Im I in the risk of angel closure glaucoma in future? Also I have myopia -3 in my left eye and pathological myopia/coloboma in my right eye
Like if i strain something or do strength training in gym in that case can it lead to this angel closure glaucoma.

My son took Accutane (isotretinoin) (20 mg) for about 2 weeks. Shortly after starting it, he developed significant dryness and discomfort. He stopped the medicine about 35 days ago, but symptoms are still present and fluctuate in severity. Eyes: He has dry and sometimes painful eyes. Eye drops provide temporary relief. He feels the left upper eyelid is producing little/no oil or no tears and feel pain in the eye, doubts about MGD. His eye examination showed 6/6 vision, normal fundus and normal eye pressure, with dryness diagnosed. Internal body dryness: He has persistent dry mouth and throat with very less saliva in mouth , sticky/dry lips and dry nose, with a feeling of dehydration even after drinking ample water. Sometimes he wakes during sleep because of dryness. He experiences heavy breathing and internal dryness problems. Guide us about any specific dryness test for eyes and body.
