How to Save the Sight of Patients with Glaucoma While Minimizing Adverse Reaction from Eye Drops

Рет қаралды 21,927

Күн бұрын

For patients with glaucoma, the fact that their disease can be slowed down with pressure-lowering eye drops is unquestionably a good thing. But is there enough focus on the unwanted side effects that come with the daily application of one or more eye drops?
This presentation will focus on the ocular surface discomfort that far too many glaucoma patients suffer from. In addition, examples will be given of ways in which ophthalmologists can stratify the treatments to minimize the individual patient’s adverse effects. All to improve both adherence and quality of life in the growing glaucoma population.

Thank you sincerely for this excellent presentation. Thank you doctors and also your host. I am a retired US physician in and also a patient of open angle glaucoma. I agree, doctors, that BAK should be taken off the market. BAK has had a lifespan of 50 years and that's just long enough. I am impressed about the patient oriented steps being taken in Denmark and other European nations. Kudos to you. The US is far behind because health care here is a profit seeking "business", not a Hippocratic service. Thanks again.

Thank you so much to the Foundation and to the speakers - there's so much useful information & insight into BAK issues, and it was articulated so clearly. I'mvery fortunate to be prescribed preservative-free Ganfort though this partly off-set by Brinzolamide which is not yet available preservative-free. The point made wrt different bottle designs is a very well-made one too, sometimes it's a struggle to initially remove the secured bottle top, let alone know that some bottles dispense what feels like a bigger drop than others. Thank you to all for improving our understanding of this topic❤

Fascinating. My Glaucoma Specialist did not provide any information whatsoever. Just handed me a prescription... so sad.

@user-oc3lv9mc8y Жыл бұрын

Thank you very much for this information. I use two eye drops and both contain bak. I have all the side effects mentioned. I will discuss with my eye dr.

Very useful discussion info. I was prescribed Simbrinza (which is BAK) which I drop twice daily, morning and night. I was also given latanoprost (kept in fridge) and drop at night earlier than the BAK. My eye has had been constantly red due to eye drop and Ptosis. I am 80 next birthday. My eye consultant think I am doing well with 6/6 vision but irritation in Glaucoma eye. I think Covid and double flu one month later last year damaged the eye. Thanks for sharing.

is Pataday, an over-the-counter eye drop bad to use if you have glaucoma. Also, I use Vysulta for glaucoma. Does it contain preservatives?

Is Potassium Sorbet better than BAK, as preservative for Glaucoma eye drops. Regards. Mukesh Jain, INDIA

My doctor had me on 4 kinds of drops. My IOP's didn't lower, so I stopped taking them. Also stopped going to that doctor.

Surprised to see that you have completely omitted mention of selective laser trabeculoplasty or SLT. Multiple studies have validated the efficacy of SLT for glaucoma treatment and in fact promote it as first line therapy. It has greater efficacy than drops and no side effects. I wonder whether this is because you receive your funding from these pharmaceutical companies. Please review conclusions of LIGHT trial.

You are asking "why doctors still are prescribing drops with BAK?" well FDA aproved aspartame on diet sodas, and is proved to be CARCINOGEN, so do the math. and for dry eye you guys can use castor oil and also the active ingedient in castor oil looks alot alike a prostglandine , so again do the math.
