glaucoma operation
I am having a glaucoma operation on my right eye this week and I’m terrified. I am having it with a local anaesthetic. I could not find anyone who has had it and could put my mind at ease . Is there anyone who has been through this please help me.

Interferons as the First Choice of Cytoreduction in ET and PV
»Interferons are a group of cytokines with immunomodulatory properties and were the first immune therapies used in the treatment of cancers, including hematologic malignancies. Use of standard interferon alfa-2b for MPN treatment has been limited by its difficulty in administration and adverse effect

Tiopex and night vision
I was diagnosed with glaucoma last March and prescribed Tiopex eye drops, one drop in each eye once a day. Since the nights have got darker I notice that my vision is poor when driving at night Yesterday in the cinema I could not read extracts from a notebook when they appeared on a screen - they were

Psp and cataracts.
Hi friends just wanted to ask if anyone has any experience with a loved one who has psp and has has cataracts. At long last my mum got an appointment with a optometrist at the hospital. They said she has cataracts in both eyes and will need to have surgery. The doctor was quite scary telling me the complications

Dry eyes
Recently, I had an ANA speckled pattern 1:640. They ran all the little subtests and all came out negative. My eyes are so dry that I was thinking I might have sjogrens. Also, I have bad constipation that I take Linzess for. Optician said when I was getting tested for glasses that my glands were blocked

Scalp SLE diagnosed April 2021, conflicting/contradictory medications - any advice?
Hi I've had a biopsy which confirmed SLE for scalp last year in France (where I live).Having suffered health issues due to serious overmedication here before, I was reluctant to start on 400mg of Plaquenil. Got a 2nd opinion in Spain in May2021, who prescribed Diprosone (topical steroid cream) which

GCA questions
Have been experiencing headaches for the past few days (but no other symptoms) and am wondering if GCA is more likely at the beginning of one's PMR experience or can it occur any time? Am also wondering if GCA is more likely at higher doses of prednisone or lower doses? Am lastly wondering if existing

Eye Drops
I think I have accepted that I need eye drops, I have been struggling with dry eyes for a few years now, but I was desperate to try and treat the cause rather than use drops. However even though intermittently they improve, they always return. I’m not sure if it’s related to my thyroid issues or menopause

Advice Needed After Shunt
Hi Everyone, I had a microshunt inserted about 3 months ago and everything seemed fine but now I notice my
eye
is
watering
much more than usual and seems very “flat”. I’m worried that maybe the shunt is leaking, as I know that can happen.

Excellent Letter in the Telegraph 24/8/22
I wish to express my thanks to Pam Perceval-Maxwell for her excellent letter in the Daily Telegraph 24/8/22, headlined "Living with the Anxiety of losing one's sight for want of an appointment for an essential injection". I meant to post sooner about this. This letter only echoes the Telegraph's

nefopam and glaucoma
Hi I am a health care assistant and I have been diagnosed with arthritis in my hips. My GP prescribed nefopam and I thought nothing of it. Since starting the nefopam I have not been able to sleep. My main concern is that I have acute angle closure glaucoma and I am worried about what damage it might

Not sure I belong here
Not sure I belong here, as after 8 months waiting to be seen at the glaucoma clinic following a routine eye test that turned not so routine, I'm not sure if I have glaucoma or not. I was told in January that I had damage to the optic nerve in my right eye with matching visual field loss. The appointment

taking hydroxychloroquine with a visual impairment
hello, I recently started taking hydroxychloroquine about a month ago due to my joint pain. I am visually impaired and my rheumatologist educated me on the potential risk of retinal toxicity.
