Hair thinning
This is probably a silly question, however I have had multiple different eye drops over the past 7 years for my Glaucoma, and are currently using Travatan and Combigan. Had anybody noticed any changes in hair thinning or hair loss. I seem to have thinning of my hair and are concerned, if this continues

Treatment changes - Rituximab?
Finally saw my consultant again last week. Think he was quite surprised at how swollen my hands have become and he said I'd done well to keep going. So am feeling a little more positive, though I'm battling through a lot of pain. The steroid jabs I had in my finger and thumb base seem to have given

combined therapy help
Hi a little advise if possible: normally levo 125mg and thybon 5mg. A new endo has taken me off thybon to try and work out if I have diabetes inspidius (water balance issues). I think I was slightly too hyper but 3 weeks later and I feel terrible - weight gain, constipation, no apetite. I don’t think

Dry eye following Trabeculectomy
Hello I had a right trabeculectomy nearly 4 months ago & all was well until about a week ago. I have used regular lubricating drops as I have had the same surgery in my left eye that was complicated by uveitis. I have tried a variety of lubricating drops & eventually Theoloz gel was recommended & worked

Stretching and exercising after cataract ops
Hi! I did skim this site to see if anyone recently asked about my question, but didn't see anything. I have cataract operations on 12 and 19 June (I also have high IOP but generally below 21; I'm astigmatic (which the ops should correct), and a form of strabismus, where my eye muscles don't line

NICE: Teprotumumab for treating thyroid eye disease ID 6432 - being scoped
I have just noticed a new NICE guideline has been started. Only a skeleton at present - in the guideline scoping state. It will probably be years before it is completed. It is good that it has been selected for further work but must be devastating for anyone suffering TED to see how far away this (potential

Frequent styes

My eyes are very sore.I do all the recommended things with eye hygiene, changing makeup regularly and heat pad on my lids. Could this be

Eye drops
Hello, I would like your advice regarding eye drops. I am very myopic and also have cataracts. I use hyabak often throughout the day but my eyes still feel dry and uncomfortable which I think is making my sight even worse! I’m wondering whether I should try longer lasting eye drops. Any suggestions would

Unilateral or bilateral procedure?
I was recently referred by my optician as slight differences were noted since last year’s appointment. My referral outcome letter says my optician was “…… querying cupping of the left eye in particular “ and ends with “… Disc ocular coherence topography shows suspicious optic disc on the left side in

Low eye pressure
I have Normal Tension Glaucoma and had a Deep Scleretomy operation on my right eye 18 months ago ( I believe this is a similar operation to a trab, the aim being to lower the pressure) and I have a bleb under my eyelid. Immediately after surgery the pressure dropped to 3 but gradually over eight months

A few questions about being a. ‘Glaucoma suspect’
Hi, first post for me. I’ve been reading your messages since February and they have been very helpful so thank you all!! This is the rather longwinded background: My husband was picked up at a routine eye test as having some changes suggestive of glaucoma. He was seen pretty quickly (within 2-3 weeks

wow!! That wind!! I lay awake last night listening to it blow people’s recycling up and down the street and thought to myself “ I probably won’t run”. Then this morning the forecast said it was gonna die down so I ate breakfast and let that go down and then ran. I would have run yesterday but I do

Does Maxidex steroid add to Pred dose?
I had a new lens fitted on 2 April and have to use Dexamethasomex or Maxidex four times a day. Does this add to my total steroid intake with the Pred. Am on 10 mg after a flare and trying to get back to 7.5 as soon as possible. I also have a preventative asthma inhaler which is a steroid presumably

Sun protection. Mineral sun lotion on a budget
Staying protected from UV rays is high on many peoples list this week, with layering and staying in the shade so important. I’ve read that mineral based sun lotion is better than chemical as it creates a barrier on your skin that reflects UV light so t hey don't absorb into the skin. Mineral sunscreens

DVLA vision test
I am past 70 so needed to apply for license renewal. 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. This surprised
