Vitamin B research webinar

[muddledme]

Yesterday 15.11.23 there was such a very informative Glaucoma UK webinar.

For anyone who missed it luckily it will be available on Glaucoma UK' You tube' in a few weeks.

Prof. Guss Gazzard gave such a good, clear explanation of this disease, and included the pros and cons of his Vitamin B research. He also gave very comprehensive answers to so many questions including discussions about Omega 3, Co enzyme Q10, Ginko Biloba etc.

I felt I learnt a lot in an hour as it was packed full of useful information.

On December 12 th there should be another interesting webinar about Preserflo versusTrab surgery. All available on the Glaucoma UK website where it is possible to register to see these talks live and usually to be able to ask questions.

Could someone from Glaucoma Uk please let me have a link to YouTube when this video is posted please? I don’t seem to get information about these videos I’m not sure why. I have to physically check the website all the time to spot them . Thanks.

Actually it’s okay I’ve just found the video on Glaucoma Uk Facebook page!👍🏻

Thanks for the tip-off! I just watched it on Glaucoma UK Facebook page. Gus Gazzard was great! So helpful to have such a knowledgeable person discussing pros and cons of taking Nicotinamide for Glaucoma. I’m not taking as I’m concerned about taking whilst not being monitored by a medical professional when risk balance is still unclear.

Thank you Robyn. Not being on social media, I have now bookmarked the youtube link to GlaucomaUK. I can see that Prof. Guzzard Vitamin B3 webinar is up there already, so am going to watch it right now😊

Thanks again for your help,

Thanks very much MuddledmeI'd missed that one and am very interested.

[Extrahelp]

Totally agree! It feels like someone is on our side! Looking fwd to 12th dec and hope to put a question in regarding:

any serious surgery risks if already blind in one eye. My hospital appt follow up letters always mention possible surgery, adding

"but only sighted in one eye"

It's been very uplifting for me joining healthunlocked-

I talk with strangers but feel less alone!

Thankyou to all of you..
