Great comprehensive video as always. I just want to point out that at 6:45 the video mentioned to treat with beta adrenergic antagonist whereas at 9:35 to treat with beta adrenergic agonist. I appreciate if you address this mix up :)

Namaste,

I visited eye specialist in 2009 (fifteen years back) for cataract of my right eye.

But after examining I was informed that besides cataract there was a retina detachment also in my right eye. Moreover small holes in retina of my left eye.

As per guidance there were two operations.

1) first retina detachment by laser
And then
2) cataract.
3) small tiny holes in left eye were patched with laser.

Some 5 to 6 years back I was informed that glaucoma had been developed on same eye (right eye)

I do not know the stage of glaucoma.

Now A cataract has been developed on my left eye also.

He informed me that a glaucoma has been also developed in left eye also.

I am in trauma

One eye is already nearer to gone and if any thing untoward happened to my left eye during cataract operation then...
Moreover fear of presence of glaucoma in left eye.

Does glaucoma curable ?

Please advise.

Thanks and regards.
