WARNING! Avoid These Medications if You Have Glaucoma | Eye Surgeon Explains #draudreytai

Have you or your loved ones been diagnosed with glaucoma? If so, you need to pay close attention to the medications you or your family is taking, as they can worsen glaucoma or even cause glaucoma if you do have it yet. Many over-the-counter and prescription medicines contain warning labels for glaucoma, because they can increase eye pressure. In this video, I will give you a list of commonly used medications, including both over the counter and prescription medicines, that can cause increased pressure in the eye .

Excellent, well-paced and loaded with info for the glaucoma patient.

The fact is all of these doctors do not have a clue they only know how to do their specialty and don't even think about anything other than that. they never mentioned the side effects of anything nor the risk and complications associated with their Specialty Services. they trying to make you think that a cataract surgery is simple and easy as getting your tooth pulled yet I lost my vision due to cataract surgery and I have read many accounts of other people experiencing the same thing developing glaucoma and optic nerve damage. the glaucoma doctors hold out no hope other than to give you drops the whole medical system is broken and ridiculous😢

FYI
Preservatives in most Glaucoma drops and glaucoma drops with Timolol can damage your eyes severely after some years of use. Unfortunately there is little documentation on this, my experience is that they have destroyed over half of my Myobian glands, resulting in severe dry eye.
Most Glaucoma doctors do not address this serious side affect. Please donot discount this essential information if you are a glaucoma patient!

I have glaucoma, but my ophthalmologist didn’t say which kind it was. I had complications when I had cataract surgery. I had inflammation in my eye, and the lens that they implanted is stuck to my iris, as a result of cataract surgery I have anterior capsule opacification. The cataract doctor said there is no chance of using laser on my eye to get my vision back, so now I am blind.

I was never diagnosed with glaucoma, but I get eye pain whenever I use nasal corticosteroids, maybe it's affecting eye pressure 🤷‍♂

I have had closed angled glaucoma diagnosed as an emergency December 2015. 23rd December. Christmas Eve i had laser surgery on both eyes. This January 2024 i have had cataract surgery on the most affected eye. This was also done to open up the narrow angle. This has been a success so far. Im now awaiting cataract surgery for the other eye. I want to inform others that these proceedures are generally highly successful and almost pain free. Well it was for me. My eye sight is amazing in the corrected eye. It is far far better than the so called previosly better eye.

Does melatonin cause problems with open angel glaucoma

[jodyj]

I am 49 and have Open-Angle Glaucoma, caught about 8 years ago. I have been on Cymbalta, Zyrtec, and inhaled Asthma Cortisteroids for many, many, many years. No one has ever said this is an issue. I can't really imagine my life without those meds, either. So is it a catch-22 - where I just have to deal with the Glaucoma?

[stephenevelyn]

Hi, this information is beneficial for my parents at this time. And do you have any videos on cataracts in the eyes? Pease keep up the WONDERFUL work!

[pratapanurag]

Heyaa! I came across your video, and I have to say it’s really lively!

Btw I was wondering if I could help you edit your videos and also make highly engaging shorts out of them.

I was diagnosed with glaucoma about 8 months ago. Have been using Latanoprost since. The drop seems to keep my eye pressure to 10 in my last checkup. However, I find my vision has gotten worse, particularly with distance. My vision also has a wider range. Is this a side effect from Latanoprost?

[Michaelfinch-ry]

I experience vison loss from high blood suagr it was 300 its at 9.7 alc 5.4 i changed my diet i cook at home fastfood places restaurants juices ice cream with high sugar no good

I am aged 78 and have had Glaucoma for over 25 years. My Sister although 10 years old than me, has been totally blind for the past 7 years from Glaucoma. I have been taking Cosopt eye drops twice a day and Xlatan eye drops last thing at night for the past 17 years. My Glaucoma is getting slowly worse even though my eye pressures are reading 10 or 11. My visual fields are gradually worsening and I have the beginnings of a Cataract in one eye. I have read that there are capsules available that slowly encourage T-cells to begin optic nerve repairs - is this just a SCAM please?

[vickiesorenson]

I have a question. Can anyone see an ophthalmologist or do you have to have an eye disease like glaucoma, macular degeneration, etc? Most eye insurances cover optometrist .

[Gotta-love-]

I think my eyedrops, Bimatoprost, is causing eye problems. My eyes get so red and dry! My vision is very poor in the morning hours. Towards the end of the day, it slowly improves but then at bedtime, I have to put the eye drops in again. I am not going to put the drops in tonight. My eye pressure has never been very high, usually 9 or 10. I think the drops are causing issues!

Can phentermine have a negative effect on glaucoma patients?
