Itchy eyes
I know that glaucoma makes our eyes sensitive, and I do use lubricating eye drops SO many times during the day, but I still find that my eyes - especially inner eye, and around the base of the lids - gets really itchy. And of course we can't scratch our eyes. So does anybody else find this, and if so

Hi fellow sufferers.
I am new here but have suffered from wet AMD since January 2021 and have had several injections of Eylea in both eyes since. I am currently stable and on an 8 week re-check each time. I also suffer from diplopia (double vision) and this eye problem conflicts with the AMD disease making it difficult

Ocular hypertension
I have ocular hypertension and narrow angles. I have had a successful iridotomy but my pressures remain between 20-30 . Never higher and never lower. My glaucoma consultant whom I saw this week is happy. My eyes are stable. Good visual fields. No optic nerve damage. I use Tiopex and Latanopost drops

Seeing an MPN Specialist tomorrow!
I have an appointment at Stanford with an MPN Specialist tomorrow. Going on 5 years with ET+CALR and currently taking aspirin and 2 pills of Hydrea daily AND 90mcg of Pegasys once a week. We are in a transitional period right now and I will eventually just be taking Pegasys and aspirin. Took my 4th dose

Levothyroxine for Underactive thyroid
I cannot tolerate Levothyroxine and wondered what other options are available to me. I have not taken any medications for nearly five years now. I also have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. I am confused what symptoms are connected with Hypothyroidism and what can be attributed

Monopost eye drops
Is anyone in the UK having trouble getting Monopost single use eye drops? Pharmacist just says to ask for a different drop…not as easy as that when you’ve tried most available and they don’t lower pressure! So frustrating…don’t know what to do now.

Mild Sjogrens? Is that a thing?
I've googled it and I still have no idea. Lots of cross over symptoms with thyroid but I've started pondering on my dry eyes and mouth. Neither are dry to the point of pain but my husband has noticed I've developed an eye 'tic'. I'm sort of rolling my eyes and opening my eyes wide; I've realised

Microcystic Edema in glaucoma patient
Hi, my mother has had microcystic edema in both eyes discovered. Have been told there is a possibility that taking Xalatan drops could be connected. Wondered if anyone else has this condition and any talk of these drops being linked to it? Thanks.

Trabeculectomy and theme parks
I had a trab done in one eye following trauma induced high IOP last June. Pressures have been stable since November at around 14.I'm going to a theme park soon (Disney Paris - very excited!) - does anyone know if there are restrictions on roller-coasters with trabs? I'm going with kids, so won't be doing

C-PTSD?
I'm looking at a potential C-PTSD diagnosis with abandonment issues. Any advice/experiences/general knowledge anyone has would be SUPER appreciated.

question for those with sight loss…….
can I ask of those that have experienced sight loss, has this been since your GCA diagnosis (and possibly already getting treatment) or was it part of the problem(s) that made you seek help….if you get what I mean ? I have had a “lazy” eye since birth, with limited vision (can’t see in detail) the other

Trab after failed shunt
Hello. This is my first post so please bear with me. About a year ago I had a shunt inserted which I thought would be an end to my problems. After a lot of delayed appointments my IOP has started to creep back up, and my doctor has suggested a trab. My next visit is in 6 months, which I think is

timing of your medication monitoring blood tests
good morning all and thank you all for your kind and caring responses to my previous question. My query today is: has anyone ever found that having a blood test close to methotrexate day (or within two weeks of having a wee Drinkie…) impacts the liver reading? I normally ensure this doesn’t happen

Glaucoma - dealing with glare.
Hello, I was diagnosed several years ago. I use Monoprost drops in my right eye and had a trab in my left a few years ago. Left is getting worse slowly, right is quietly developing a cataract. I'm also bothered by blepharitis, dry eye and being aged 73 - lol. In other words, nothing unusual going on.

Loss of central vision after starting to use Latanoprost
Hi everyone - great to find this community. I have been trying to find if anyone has had a similar experience to me. I have had high myopia since I was a child. Think I am about -13 to -14. My main issue started in 2008 when the cataract in my left eye thickened considerably. I then had cataracts
