Experiences with

Eye conditions

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.

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.

Me again. Thanks all for your replies to my other post. Very useful. We are both well now. Today's theoretical question is from the other half.In these days of having to wait anything up to, or even above, 9 hours for an ambulance, if someone suddenly loses their sight, and has preds available, how much

I had my eyes tested at Specsavers yesterday. Had all the extra tests and everything was fine. I have high eye pressures and use Monopost drops. No glaucoma or macular degeneration so far. My pressures were fine too. However, I was told there was a little cloudiness on the scans indicating the start

Hi all, So I have been confirmed with CLL a week ago. I already had my first ever "deep" dental cleaning scheduled for mid April. I told my hematologist/oncologist about this and she said it's fine for me to a have it done and no need for antibiotics before or after since I'm not yet immunocompromised

Need some advice from somebody who has been through this whole really worrying process as I am very stressed about the whole thing. I am having an eye test and a practice esterman test at Specsavers before I inform the DVLA and kick start the process. When do I tell my insurance company now or when

Hello, does anyone have experience of with primary open glaucoma in their 40s? I have recently been diagnosed by an optometrist and I am waiting for a hospital appointment in a couple of weeks. I’m on Monopost as some damage has been detected in one eye. I am catastrophising about what might happen

hello all I posted here back in July after a private rheumatologist said my ongoing severe joint pain could be lupus based on the rashes (mostly malar) that was intermittently an issue. I met with NHS rheumatology in October who couldn’t “fit me neatly into one CTD”. Anyhow, they started me on steroids

hi everyone Hope you are all keeping well? I had my laser iridotomy 3 weeks ago and have my follow up Friday next week, I wondered, is it typical to not be able to see the laser iridotomy holes? I do have light coloured iris’s and expected to be able to see them. The follow up appointment has

Having advanced glaucoma, my recent second trab revision has resulted in poor healing and visits in the past month for alternate resuturing snd needling as the IOP fluctuates. Now the increasingly hazy, washed-out sight of both eyes that has been apparent for a couple of years is rapidly worsening.

My husband had surgery this week. When they brought him back to his room they said his legs as well as whole body was jerking and shaking during the procedure. I’m assuming the anesthetic triggered his RLS. Just thought I would share this.

Could it just be dry eye?

I'd like to ask, if anyone has had an endopthalmitis infection after eye surgery, I've heard its very rare, and it really scared me, it was after a trabeulectomy surgery, which seemed to gave gone well, but I was admitted to hospital for eye antibiotics every half hour and into clinic every day, it did

Hi, I lost my right field of vision (right homonymous hemianopia) after a fall. My MRI shows DAI but none of the lesions account for the visual field defect. My vision loss is very obvious and distressing to me so why it doesn't show on the MRI is causing me concern as well as difficulty in proving

I had a Glaucoma Eye revision surgery on January 13th last month. Went to get my pressure checked day after it was 15. doctor was happy.Went again a week later it was 8. Doctor not happy. My bleb was leaking. She is giving it another two weeks and i go back.She said probably another surgery to move

Has anyone that’s taken Diltiazem for a long time and developed glaucoma? I’m attaching a link to an article. I read yesterday claiming that Diltiazem may cause Glaucoma. I’m concerned because I’ve been on Diltiazem for years and I’m being treated for glaucoma now. I’ve noticed an increase in blurred

After 2 years of GCA I'd tapered down to 3mg, since Jan back up to 25mg after a flare. I am now tapering down again- Doc told me to do 5mg reduction over 4 weeks but I am doing 2.5mg as the first day of doing 5mg reduction I started getting mild symptons back. My Doc is insistent on going by my blood
