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?
I got lenskart eye test a month ago and I'll attach my result
Basically I got contact lenses as well yesterday but lenskart didn't have any option to pick -1.50 cylindrical so I picked -1.75 for the right eye
Was this okay or not?
Past 10-15 days se right eye ki eyelid thodi neeche jhuki hui hai aur eye choti lag rahi hai.
Shuruat mein ye aati-jaati thi (fluctuating), lekin ab lagatar rehne lagi hai.
Mujhe frequently aankhein malne (eye rubbing) ki aadat hai.
Double vision, pain, ya headache nahi hai.
I've had eye pain whenever I wear glasses for the past 12 years. I've tried wearing glasses consistently for long periods (including about 2 years continuously), but the pain never resolved. Because of this, I switched to contact lenses (last 10 years), which were generally comfortable and did not cause the same pain.
However, over the last year, I've started experiencing eye irritation with contact lenses as well. It feels as though my eyes have become more sensitive to them, although I'm not sure whether this is due to changes in my eyes or the lenses themselves.
My spectacle prescription has been checked and updated multiple times over the years, but the discomfort with glasses persists. What could be causing this, and what evaluations should I undergo?
