Success with IOPs of 6-8 with a trabeculectomy?
I have have normal tension glaucoma brought about from Lasik surgery which gave me very thin corneas. Though my IOPs range from 10-15, I would need an IOP as low as possible, however, I am frightened of severe hypotony. I live in the U.S. and the surgeons don't go into detail as much as those in

Dry eyes & Vitamin B12
Hi, I have just come across an article online which I thought may be of interest to anyone who suffers from dry eyes as I do: [i]Vitamin B12 is a water-soluble vitamin that helps the body make DNA and nerve cells. Deficiency of this nutrient is associated with severe dry eye disease and eye pain, according

COLLAGEN POWDER
Hi I have SLE and have been trying to reduce my MTX and prednisolone doses, with some success. Our local health food store was suggesting a collagen supplement. Has anyone heard of adding collagen powder to smoothies or sprinkling on cereal as an aid to building connective tissue? I bought some anyway

Dry eye gel for night time
After having had an awful week with my right eye, managed to get an appointment yesterday at the eye clinic, but only with a senior nurse. After lots of tests and a scan, she seems to think there isn't anything to worry about. The reflections around the eye that I have been experiencing, particularly

Flecainide with Afib and LBBB?
Hello, In a bid to stop me going into Afib my electrophysiologist has stopped my very low dose of bisop for what I think says Diltiazen ER and flecainide 100mg bd. I was previously told by my cardiologist I should not take flecainide due to my LBBB. I did mention this to the EP, who said my heart function

Venetoclax and Stelara
Hello everyone, hope all is well? Just putting it out there if anyone has been on Venetoclax for their CLL and Stelara for Ulcerative Colitis at the sametime? Or can anyone recommend medication for Ulcerative Colitis while taking Venetoclax?

Routine Follow Up
I've had my AMD treated with Eylea injections, and recently I've not needed more injections, but I was still regularly followed up in outpatients (OPD). I was last seen in Feb/ 21, but since then I seemed to have fallen off their radar. I understood in Feb. I would be seen in 6 months, but to date

Dry Eye drops
Didn't get much sleep last night due to my right eye burning and water pouring out for quite a while resulting in a wet face! I had a cataract op almost 8 weeks ago in that eye and it has ached ever since, plus keeps going blurry and have light reflection from the lamps in my house at night time. Rang

Primary open-angle glaucoma
Hi everyone, I have just joined this group as I have very recently been diagnosed with the above and told I have a left disc haemorrhage. I have been looking on the internet, as you do, and have managed to terrify myself! I am also about to have cataracts removed from both eyes. Would love to hear from

Lecicarbon A suppositories
I`ve been diagnosed with evacuatory dysfunction and last week saw a colorectal surgeon privately who has referred me for a proctogram but in the meantime suggested I should try Lecicarbon suppositories instead of glycerol. He didn`t give me a prescription but said I can buy them over the counter. Looking

Surgical sperm retrieval recovery
Hi, My husband had SSR last week where they had to make an incision into both testicles. He’s still in pain but the clinic said yesterday that it’s quite normal and to monitor over the next week. Today we noticed on one side there is a lump under the stitches and the testicle on that side isn’t dropping

VERY WORRYING!
Cannot believe it. But on Monday when I had my cataract op in my left eye, one set of eye drops were not available. Was told they would be delivered on Wednesday, meaning I would miss a day. They did not arrive. Tried in vain to ring the pharmacy at the hospital yesterday afternoon and again this

Dry ears, eyes etc and Buckthorn Oil Capsules
