My dad has severe glaucoma with 95% of his left eye damaged and 99% of his right eye damaged. Praying so hard for him to maintain his sight that he has now.

This is more than I found out in the last 2 hours at the eye doctor. Thank you!

Sadly my mom has it on her side of the family, but her case is not serious at all cause she luckily was diagnosed right when it started so it can easily be treated.

I am 20 and diagnosed with glaucoma. The amount of pain I bear everyday is infinite. I have to go through constant headache and in morning i wake up with severe pain in left side of my head and it last usually for 2 hours to even full day. Typing this with pain in left head is what i can do. I have no other option than bearing all these pains

I'm 37 and just found out that I'm in the early stages... so scary.

Great explanation, easy enough to understand for a layman👍

Don’t worry, you have a big percentage for success on eye drops or surgery my grandmother has had it, and the eye drops but she didn’t want to put them on everyday so she got surgery and her vision is fine, my mom has it and is taking eye drops but she is ok as well. It is also a very common eye disease around the world.

Thank you for this simple instructional video.

I was 9 years old when I was diagnosed with bilateral glaucoma in both my eyes and I've been taking eye drops for 18 years. Right now I take brimonidine, latanoprost, dorzolamide-timolol, and pilocarpine to lower my interocular pressures. I have to take eye drops four times a day to control my pressures. However I'm used to having glaucoma so it's no big deal.

I think my eye doctor thinks I have it. I have to go back for more testing. I just thought I got cluster headaches. If eye drops makes the “cluster headaches” go away, then sign me up.

Thank you so very much for this. My doctor is monitoring me for this so it really helped me. Bless you.

I have to do a presentation on glaucoma and still don't understand how pressure builds in the eye if there is no aqueous flow from the posterior chamber into the vitreous body?

[KD-roiy]

Thank you I’m really worried that I might have it or will get it in the future because my grandpa has it so thank you

I'm 34 and seeing a specialist for it soon. I'm terrified.
My optomitrist said my eye pressure is VERY high and I've seen her once since and it was even higher than the first time. My specialist appointment is in 5 days.

I think the term *Glucoma* is much more complicated than what we hear , which can occur even under the low intra occular pressure, too.

What a concept clearing lecture she delivers.

I have a question that how hypertension can cause retinopathy?

I'm only 30 and have Glaucoma. :(
I have medicine, but I'm still worried about my vision as I get older....

[masoodakram]
