[telescope115]

About a month ago I was diagnosed with glaucoma-severe-in my right eye, and very mild in my left eye. Plus an occlusion in the retina of my right eye. I’ve had an injection in my right eye and I’m I’m putting drops in both eyes. Also taking a vitamin called PreserVision. Hopefully the damage in my eye will be halted, but the Dr. said what I have lost cannot be restored.

So injections and eye drops for the rest of my life are what I have to look forward to. I am new to all of this, so I have a lot to learn.

What form of glaucoma do you have and how high are your adjusted pressures?

Be sure to look at my other posts in this thread. The form of glaucoma my ophthalmologist thought I was headed toward was “open angle.”

I do believe this can be helped from the pressure, antioxidant, and retinal layer sides.

My pressures got to 23+, but have dipped below 11 with the lowest dose brimonidine drop, just twice a day in just one eye. The highest dose brimonidine drop (0.2 vs. 0.1) done three times a day can get eye pressure to drop as much as 20%, so you know all the other things I'm doing really did the vast majority of my pressure drop.

I figure the drop takes it down about 1.5 mm Hg. My doctor said I may need to completely stop the low dose I am on, because my pressures are nearly too low.

This is what can be done with just eating and supplementing differently, along with walking back my near-sighted prescription.
