Glaucoma

[Rhynorune]

When i close my right eye and stare at myself in the mirror with my left eye without blinking, after some seconds my vision goes blind (black) so my face seems to disappear in the mirror for few seconds than come back.

also it seems like i have a permanent disturbing flickering thing on the inner half side of my left eye's vision which never seem to go away.

this only happens with my left eye.

I'm 21 years old, nearsighted (around −4.0 diopter on both eyes) stabilized vision.

[mrmarshmallow321]

Just watched due date and this said nothing about getting high to fix it lol

[bmw0208]

I'm 21 and my eyes have started to hurt more dull aches, I've got watery eyes and sensitivity to light which ive had for some time and it's like I can feel pressure at the back of my eye, are 21yr olds usually affected by this?!

[townkevin59]

I found out today that I have Glaucoma and may have to start eye drops. I am not worried because things eventually wear out with the human body, it's to be expected. I roll with what life dishes me....Oh well!

[dayspeace]

very informative and very helpful. keep up the good work. :D

[insomniacgrace]

This is a very informative video clip. He clearly shared what glaucoma is. This is a great help for me in realizing to take good care of my eyes.

[philsmusic867]

i'm 15 and my eye doctor is telling me about my eye pressures being a little over 1%....I don't want to go blind :/

[sugarbunny333]

[Emad5501]

Wednesday Aug 10 2011 4p.m. (est) Just yesterday i had my usual eye check up. I learned that i may have Glaucoma in my left eye. I need to go back for a morning appt. on Aug 24 at 9:20 a.m. HATE morning appt. NOT a morning person. I am FRIGHTED about this my nerves are anything but calm . I PRAY i will be ok. The good news (i hope and pray) is i was told if i do have it and given the times we are living in un-like yester years i won't go completely blind because the treatments available.

[ema1171224]

People with diabetes are also at risk. Some people develop visual problems-glaucoma as a results of diabetes & may even go blind.

[RuthSonja]

I know 2 people who have it from birth, one totally legally blind, but, I also know a woman in her early sixties who was just diagnosed with it, her doctor told her she will not go bline, what a relief that was

[kdunn75]

I was diagnosed too....But, Jesus Christ is my doctor.

[MsShanygirl]

Thank you for the informations !

[bill45summer]

Good reason to get your eyes examined annually. Glaucoma has no symptoms.

[847maram]

i really was born with glaucoma

it destroyed my life...T_T............

[Thebluevsred]

I need some help my is like squirting out Green things

[commercialmats]

very informative.  thank you.

[ieaka]

okay, recently i just started having problems with my left eye. i'll be walking down a normal lit hallway and then when i turn off the light, my left eye and around that area starts to hurt. i have to keep it closed for a while to make it feel a little better but it is still uncomfortable. i may also become diabetic when i'm older because my mom had to watch her sugar level when she was preganant and still now occasionally.

[xavierian21]

Know more about glaucoma

[omgitsmonikuh]

what's the difference between open and closed-angle glaucoma?

[Jeffyfolife]

my mom was diagnosed with Glaucoma about a year ago... :( it's comforting to know that blindness from Glaucoma is rare

[Rachellouise84]

I was born with glaucoma, blind as a bat from it with no sight at all x

[MDiTVinc]

I will like to know if is anyway to prevent glaucoma or to see the symptoms and attack them on time from home, maybe some exercise??

[babo456]

@MDiTVinc NO. Its just one of those things. Symptom wise you wont notice until its quite bad OR if you have a sudden attack of Glaucoma, which is a medical emergency. You would no if that was happening as you would have sudden pain in your eye and probally vomiting.

[TheVagabond87]

guys u have to be strong..i got gloucoma when 1m 16 years old..know im 23 years old..my right is almost blind..and my left eyes not much clear vision..i cannot futher my study..bcoz i almost blind..u have to continued eyedrop 4 ever to make sure ur never get blind..i come from poor family..i have to work to buy the eyedrop xalatan..

[NoTagNamesLeft]

@TheVagabond87 I have a Congenital cataract in my right eye since when i was born and i found out that my optic nerve on my left eye (good eye) is different then my right eye. I wish the optic nerve was on the cataract side Because I want my good eye to stay where its at. they also found a scar on my left eye which is common but you never know. I maybe in high risk so Im going to a opthamologist to take pictures of my optic nerve soon

[missiluvtosing]

i have glaucoma xx =( i wish it would go x

[361983200]

My optician says my eye pressure is a bit high, but I don't feel any difference.

[Shane5463]

@361983200 me too. He said that he suspects a glaucoma but its not sure yet.

[myofficetv]

Must have eye checks regularly to be safe. Some opticians have machines to test IOP (using air puffs) but an opthalmologist has perhaps more sensitive equipment.

[dongebonge06]

He really knows what hes talking about!!!

[bluebirdschless]

Very informative. Just found out I am open-angle glaucoma suspect. Hoping the doctor was wrong!

[sk8rack]

Yea, I have glaucoma... I swear im normal the doc is wrong

[sf2fs]

Is the tonometer test done when you go in for regular eye exams with an optometrist (in Canada)? Or, do you have to ask to have one done? And how long does it take for you to lose all of your vision after the onset of glaucoma?

[sk8rack]

A month with out any care...

[cpcampana]

go to your optometrist, NOT optician!

[ExNihiloJimmy]

Dont have glaucoma but just had a penetrating keratoplasty! Ouch

[apwtc3]

I was born with glaucoma and i am male 30 years old. I had been using eye drop (MSD's timolol maleate, Xalatan) since i find myself can't see properly. it had been 15 years.
