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?
