Diabetic and Eye Damage
I have been insulin dependant diabetic for 40 years, which has been the cause of my
eye
conditions
. I was one of the first patients my consultant gave
eye
injection, I've had three steroid implants, lots of Lazer and eye injections.

DVLA vision test
I know I have glaucoma in one eye so when I filled out the form online I ticked the box for
eye
conditions
. I’m pretty certain that one of the questions was one or both eyes, I ticked one eye only. Few week later got the dreaded DVLA letter.

The most informative web page I have seen about vision loss after stroke is from the RNIB.

EYE HEALTH: RELATIONSHIP OF PMR, PRED & MTX TO GLAUCOMA, CATARACTS, & DRY EYE
The
eye
conditions
have been generated or accelerated by the strong meds. Of course, being 81 yrs old is a contributing factor. Stressors like losing family and friends exacerbates such physical infirmities. But I am content. I have been quiet on this site for many months.

I am looking for advice/help in accepting the status quo, ie my sight journey. I lost sight in one eye due to an eye stroke in December 2022. I am scared and concerned incase my other eye is vulnerable. My optitician I went to first time said I had Gluacoma , and because I attend the eye clinic for observation

is yoga ok?
I’ve very recently been diagnosed with glaucoma after losing sight in the top half of my right eye, which has been a real shock. I’ve been going to Yoga and Pilates classes for a number of years, both of which I feel have helped with a back issue and have kept me fit and very active at 67, I’m loath

cataract
Hi all, I realise cataracts are commonplace from Steroid use . I’ve had one for years, possibly from a childhood eye injury. It’s now becoming a problem , affecting my sight. It’s Encapsulated, not as straightforward. My main concern is healing. It took a year for my leg to heal. Do you advise

Floundering
Good morning everybody, I am floundering again I had my first appointment with an NHS rheumatologist after waiting a year. I have previously seen a private one. I have been taking Hydroxy for 10 months but the new Rheumy said my RF had increased so I needed another DMARD as I am unable to take MTX due

Blood in syringe
Hi all Just a quick question to those who self inject please. I've just given myself my peg shot, and when I removed the syringe, I noticed that there was blood inside it even though I didn't pull back the syringe in any way while injecting. I did get a bit of blood collecting on my skin after removing

GCA and Elevation
I have had PMR for 5 years and was diagnosed with GCA in September of 2023. I presently am on 4mg of prednisone. I am feeling good and continue to be pretty active and just turned 70 year old. I walk at least 3 miles a day, bike long distances and kayak. I plan on taking a hike up to 10,000 feet

Safe eye makeup
I'm a 69 y/o female taking Lumigan eye drops for dx of Glaucoma suspect and IOP (took Latanoprost drops previously but my pressure was increasing a bit so changed drops). My pressures have been pretty consistent at 17 in both eyes, so I feel pretty lucky right now. I had a S/P LPI procedure in 2012 (

cataract surgery
hi - I am healthy & 65. Very myopic (-10 & -9) with glaucoma in left eye). I have just dropped below DVLA driving limit so consultant is recommending cataract surgery in both eyes (NHS). My question is would it be worth it in terms of quality of vision improvement to go private as I understand that various
