For those who are listening to this, it has been said that those over the age of 40 should be tested for glaucoma. This sends chills down my spine. I was diagnosed at the age of 23. If I waited until I was 40, I would be totally blind by now. I am now 58. I'm begging everyone from the age of 20 and not 40 to get tested for glaucoma.

Thank you so much beautiful explanation inspiration

Wonderful video and I like the newer approach for the treatment of Glaucoma. As a 57 year old with a family history of Glaucoma and an episode of blindness in my eye I am now going to prepare for cataract surgery in a month and the laser was just done and it was painless and really a wonderful experience. We are being proactive to treat my good eye and doctor in the NY area is treating my blind eye as well. Nice to know of doctor Foster if I need him in the Florida area.

Thank you 💕 from Johannesburg South Africa 👍

Thanks , Very Helpful !!

Had cataracts removed from both eyes using Medicare. The lens covered by Medicare gave me 20/20 vision in both eyes. Was offered better lenses at an out of pocket expense of $6000. Still need cheater glasses for up close reading but can see clearly at a distance. Can see colors now too.

Very Informative Video ...

Thank you.GBU

Thank you so much for your support.

Thanks very enlighting

I do acupressure for my eyes religiously everyday. At this old age I no longer have the problems I used to have. I used to ask my opthalmologist what to do with floaters... nothing, dry eyes..use eye drops...glaucoma, surgery...and the universal answer...old age. Yes at this old age, sometimes I forget to take along my glasses for driving because I would need them to be sure when it gets dark. Besides, no more floaters, pressure in the eyes, dry eyes, blurry vision....We get together and exercise our eyes for 1/2 hour every day, massaging all the knuckles of our hands, our skull, our eyes, temples, ears...and breathe slowly. Check out the Bates method also. Indians from India usually don't wear glasses. They exercise their eyes everyday.

If I was treated by lowering pressure more than normal, which is modern day procedure, more of my sight might have been saved years ago. When I changed doctors I was put on more intense eye drop treatment. My doctor, said to have a good reputation as a surgeon, told me the little drainage tube might not necessarily spare me from having eye drops. Another podcast referred to differences between cranial and ocular pressure being a possible factor in optic nerve damage.

im 87 yr old 3 yr ago i had this surgery takes about 3 weeks from ist eye to 2nd and dark glasses no pain what so ever when i got rid dark glases i thiught we had a new tv all the colors were bright im still driving i recomend this to everyone that needs it in and out about 1 hr and 1/2 each eye i dont need any drops can see a long way

I recently had a car accident about 7 months ago and I ended up having a broken collarbone and I ended up having a concussion and about 4 months ago I started noticing that my eyes are getting a little hazy and because I damaged my glasses I was using my own glasses so I went and got my eyes examined in the doctor says we're not going to give you another prescription you got cataracts and because of the car accident he want to do a full scope of everything to make sure everything was okay especially with my concussion which gave me memory loss and I'm still working on that and he says now I have to go get my lens in my eyes removed and I said to him that I noticed this like 4 months ago and I asked if the accident could of caused it and he said yes. So there you go traumatic cataracts

I was told I had glaucoma in 2015. Been on drops, and had I-stent with cataract removal. I have lost 90% optic nerve. Told by my surgery nothing more can be done.

Thanks so much for your valuable insights . Does glucoma lead to cataracts can you have one without the other

One case mentioned in video was about uniocular vision. In case if someone has one week eye, what would be catract option for other eye viz., standard monofocal, eyhance or edof like vivity etc.

Here in the US Doctors, scientists, researchers, PHD’s. They have good vision and write papers on lab research and go to labs, and go to conferences, make videos, make speeches and they have their vision. BUT for people with glaucoma, the clock is ticking away before they become disabled and blind - while scientists and researchers etc continue reading, lecturing, and yes- talking away and talking about it with no course of action at all

What are the lens options available for cataract operation?

I heard about the device implant and it was done by a doctor in Florida saved a patient’s eye. Why is this method performed or recommended on all patients who are diagnosed narrow angle glaucoma instead of laser?

Would you recommend cataract surgery on an eye that has undergone a trab followed by needling. The IOP is now around 14.

Im living in Guyana, South America , how do I solicit your help ,I'm desperate

I, personally, am still pursuing the eye drops approach to eventually perhaps rid the cataracts. However, my family was rather insistent that I see an eye surgeon anyway - only for consultation. Was told that a person should be completely rid of any "dry eye syndrome or disease" and blepharitus - granulated eyelids, before possibly having any surgery done. They suggested palming the eyes with warm compresses for 5 minutes morning and night, plus gently wiping the eye lids (making sure lids are shut so as to NOT touch the actual eye) using a product like OcuSoft lid scrub Plus -- otherwise granulated flakes (feels like minute kernels of scratchy sand) can cause a surgical operation to remove the cataract to be unsuccessful and can cause scarring infection and to wait at least six months - allowing time to heal any predondition.

Will Areds help in any way to fight against Glaucoma or will Areds just help for dry macular degeneration?

What types of lens options does one have for cataract operation?

Can you perform cataract surgery if a trabeculectomy was done (followed by needling) on the same eye?

Completely blind in one eye for 3 yrs during COVID. Had new lens both eyes. Doc do not tell you all the side effects and drawbacks from surgery. Been 6mths...still have both negative and positive dystopia. very very annoying... Is not going away. Doc didn't tell me about 250$ that I could up grade lens. Do it. These free lens are crap. I can see but I live permanently with flashes in the corners of both eyes and corner shadows. Had to get glasses. I will never see as well as I could with my own lens... So up grade... If you can upgrade. Free lens are crap

Is being occlusion related to glaucoma

Minesota Ellington blington. Suncity

I have been taking drops since I was 35. I am now 74. I see doctors several times a year . I am also blind in my left eye from a blunt trauma. I could see 20-15 in my good eye but within a few months it went to 20-80 my cataract has gotten much worse . Things are cloudy now. In 1999 I had two emergency surgeries to try to save the eye. A total of about 8 hours . As I said I am blind , I don’t even have a lens etc in blind eye. I am close to having cataract surgery. Since my pressure has been under control for the last ten years ( around 16) no surgery for glaucoma is imminent. I’ve been told for 22 years to wear protective glasses. ( to protect my good eye) I’m assuming after cataract surgery I won’t need glasses but wondering if I should wear them anyway? I’m an unusual case. I can’t say I’m looking forward to another surgery.
