Advice on Cataract surgery / narrow angle
Hi all, First I must apologise, I am new to Glaucoma and looking to get some guidance from ideally someone who may have had a similar experience. I am a 44 year old male who was diagnosed with narrow angles following a routine eye exam. My eyesight is pretty good and I only wear reading glasses occasionally

Cataract surgery
I often read the experiences on CLL shared by our group on HealthUnlocked, and it's reassuring. I was diagnosed with CLL in 2013. After a long period of watch and wait (W&W), I was given only 2 cycles of chemo (BR) in 2019 instead of the planned 6 cycles due to severe side effects. Fortunately, I experienced

Tapering with PMR, Osteoporosis, Gall Bladder (new) and upcoming Cataract Surgery (second eye)
I feel like crap. I don't feel I should be tapering anything at this point. Was just in hospital for 3 days end of April. Gall bladder is shot. I've done something to my back, but since GP can not find xray results from May 10th (eye roll) or blood work from May 14, I'm not sure what's going on with

Cataract surgery due to steroid medication
Hi all, I have Minimal Change Disease and have been on various doses of prednisolone since Nov 22. I've now got cataracts and my right eye needs surgery. I'm 39 and most of the information online seems targeted at older patients. Can anyone offer advice? For instance I'm used to wearing glasses for short-sightedness

neck pain with clicking and popping when I move
I've had clicking and popping and pain in the muscles of my neck for a couple of months . I just figured it was a stiff neck from reading and looking down and it would go away. My PMR is under control at 3.5 mg . Just had a small flare so went up to 8 mg for 6 days. It did not change how my neck felt

A YAG capsulotomy
Has anyone any experience of this? Did it help if so? A YAG capsulotomy is a special laser treatment used to improve the vision after cataract surgery. It is a simple, commonly performed procedure which is very safe. During your cataract operation, the natural ens inside the eye that had become cloudy

Confusedā¦?
Have had two successful Trabs. and now have been advised that Cataracts are present and are beginning to cause a problem, but have been advised that cataract surgery may have negative effect on Trabs? Any experience of this situation out there?š

GCA and Ear Swelling, Pressure
Can GCA cause ear swelling ? I have GCA and constant ear pressure, soreness. My general practitioner couldnāt find any thing that would cause it, nor could an ear-nose-throat doctor. Even did a hearing test and all said everything is good. Would this be a flare? Iām on Actemra and 4 mg prednisone

Actemra; The elephant in the room. Is it working or not working for you?
GCA Feb 2018 Prednisone therapy only. Here I am 6 and half years later and still trying to find the sweet spot with prednisone--not too much/not too little---Just right. I am trying to reduce slowly using the DSNS program because it has always worked for me. I am, however, struggling now at 4.25/4.0

cataract Surgery
I needed eye surgery to remove cataracts from both eyes, my first eye surgery was in April 2022, I then had to wait for clear vision in eye after surgery before the cataract in my second eye was removed. After both eyes regained clear vision, you need to have an eye test, and possibly get new spectacles

Cataract surgery?
Has anyone had any cataract surgery while taking Pegasys? Is there a problem with eye surgery while taking Interferon? I'm about to be changed over to Pegasys from Hydrea, and also about to have cataract surgery. Some of the things I've read seem to indicate that may be a problem.

Vision in the recovery weeks ( and long term) after a trabeculectomy.
I have had narrow angle glaucoma for over 10 years and despite years of drops and a laser iridotomy in both eyes my glaucoma is slowly progressing. My sight loss in my left eye is not too bad at all ( patchy small areas) but I do feel my central vision is not as good in my left eye ( no cataract or other
