new NTG diagnosis
I’ve just been diagnosed with bilateral NTG. I think I was in shock in the consultation room, I couldn’t ask or even think of many useful questions. I have structural damage in both eyes & pressures were 20 adjusted to 18 for corneal thickness. I’ve started drops once a night. I had a funny turn yesterday

Good morning all, I have moved to a new area and my new hospital is really excellent. However my 1st consultation after scans I saw my new consultant, I had fluid at the back of eye I have had neovascular AMD for 5 years, he also said I had a blocked vein. He asked if my previous hospital had told me

I have been told today that I am going to have to have an operation to try and halt the sight loss in my left eye😩it also involves removing my lens to avoid cataracts! There no guarantee this will work so I’m anxious to say the least. I have also been put on Acetazolamide to lower my pressures .. I

Saline nasal rinse and glaucoma
I suffer with allergies and used to use steroid nasal spray. Now I have glaucoma I now know that these sprays are bad news! I've been looking into saline nasal rinse kits as an alternative to help me with the chronic catarrh in my throat but can't see any information about if these are safe to use for

Aching face
Diagnosed with PMR in March 2023. Started on 15mg Prednisolone and got down to 12mg in July but not able to go down further. Pred relieved most of my symptoms and allowed me to lead an almost normal life with not too many side effects. Since then, I seem to have gone backwards and had to return to 15mg

Uvitis when tapering prednisone
My eyes became very sore a month ago, on Christmas day actually. I had headaches around my eyes. They were very red and stingy. There was no discharge or stickiness like you get with conjunctivitis. Nonetheless, I was diagnosed with viral conjunctivitis by a GP. The condition got better but I still have

Prontogest injection site

Mixing medications
Apologies if this is a well repeated question, but not sure how to search for old posts where l’m sure there is an answer! Does anyone know of a good site where one can search for drug interactions? Have tried the pharmacy which is okay if you can get them to answer the phone and I won’t start on problems

Anaway even doing it slowly I had the most horrendous restless body syndrome withdrawal symptoms. I got there though. Horrible drug don’t touch it

individual eye drop units
At last I have read the patient information leaflet properly ! It seems counterintuitive but the Thealoz Duo UD and especially the Thealoz Duo Gel are so easy to use when first shaken UPSIDE DOWN so the fluid is above the opening, then carefully remove the end plug and the medication will easily drop

Itchy tear ducts- not dry eye
Anyone? Every so often I get insanely itchy upper tear duct in my left eye, sometimes a little bit in the lower one. Occasionally the right eye too.It never makes my eyes water, feel gritty, or uncomfortable; it is specifically itchiness. Sometimes I give in and rub it, but then a cycle starts and

Hay fever medicines
I continue to have badly blocked ears and a runny nose for several weeks. I’ve only managed to see paramedics rather than a GP about it. I haven’t used any nasal sprays (other than saline) but would like to try anti-allergy medication such as antihistamine. Yet I’ve read that “A few common stimulating

DVLA eye test result
Two days ago I posted about waiting for my result of my eye test and was anxious it would drag on. On the 13th December I went to see my consultant, I made it obvious I was not happy with the lack of support during and after covid and that I knew my eyesight had deteriorated because of it. Two weeks

Orbital Floor Depomedrone Injection
Hi All Has anyone had any experience of the above for TED? Been offered this or intravenous Methyldprednisolone. Thyroid Eye specialist has given me a week to make my mind up as to which way I would like to go. There are 3 options, the 2 I’ve just stated or do nothing and risk permanent bulging eyes
