My girlfriend has glaucoma in her left eye. It left her blind in that eye when she was only 16, she's 27 now. She is my inspiration and I love her so much. She has been so strong about it. I would be devastated. But she deals with it tremendously well. I do everything I can for her and will continue to for the rest of our lives together. ❤😉

This is why my eye doctor always does a pressure test. My wife works at an eye doctors office so I get seen there every three months. They got mad for years because I’ve had perfect vision, up until the time I took a fall & had an orbital floor blowout. Now I wear glasses to correct double vision. I still have great vision but without glasses I see double, side by side with the right being up & out with a small twist.

I'm suffering from glaucoma myself. The pressure that built up became so intense that the pain in my head was so overwhelming that I threw up twice when I was on the plane. Finally, I underwent for the Laser treatment. Although it works I still do receive the "attacks" occasionally especially in certain lighting conditions like in a movie theatre or when they switched off the cabin lights on the plane. So I always have the Isopto-Carpine ("Pilo") drop with me everywhere I go.

Thank you Seeker for the highly informative video (as usual). I was affected with juvenile glaucoma at the age of 21. I knew nothing about glaucoma, it's symptoms and potential permanent damage to the vision. I heard a doctor calling glaucoma "the silent thief" as it takes bits of vision without you noticing. What I find particularly frustrating is that, to this day, nobody seems to have a clear idea of what triggers the condition

@@vivotiff9088 No, she didn’t had eye surgeries before the glaucoma was detected. She had glaucoma for over 20 years. But things went south when we lost everything when my dad died. We were little and she couldn’t afford the proper medication or the proper diet to keep her diabetes under control. And now I am just starting out my career and i don't have enough money to take care of her properly. Everyday I wake up with a gut crunching fear that my mom will go completely blind today. I can only afford the eye drops. And i am sure that these have stopped working a long time ago and she needs new medications at least. But i can't afford even taking her to the doctor for new prescription with $200 salary per month that I am getting. I am from Bangladesh. Healthcare here is a lot cheaper than US, but our salaries are too low to afford that. I can relate to people around the world who are struggling like me or my mom. And googling about glaucoma makes me feel even more hopeless. One day I will make more money. But all the money in the world will not be able to make my mom see. She is the light of my life and she will be stuck in darkness infront of me without me being able to do anything. That's hell. I can't even any hell more cruel or dangerous or as heartbreaking as my reality. Anyways, that's my story of struggling with glaucoma.

After a very minor bit of research on my part I found that smoking weed every 3 to 4 hours would be the necessary amount to lessen the intraocular pressure (being what causes blindness for people with glaucoma) which if you've ever been a regular weed smoker isn't hard to do at all, although it supposedly only lowers these intraocular pressure levels by 25 to 30 percent. So pick apart whatever you want about it but it's still a hell of a plant.

In reference to Cannabis (which would be cool if medical professionals called it by it's proper name instead of it's racist slang name) the "Peak" from Cannabis is the only time it would properly relieve inter- or intra- ocular pressure, and that peak starts a within a few minuets(presuming smoking/vaping, not ingesting) & lasts around 15 minuets, total. Peak from ingestion is way harder to calculate & effects your body differently, so while the peak is much longer, it's not acting on the eyes like smoking/vaping does. He's correct that you would have to be smoking/vaping, more or less constantly, for it to meet the criteria for any kind of effective "treatment". It's just very temporary relief.

firstly, there are many types out glaucoma with respect to fluid pressure inside the eye. some individuals can exhibit optic nerve damage with low pressure while other people live with high fluid pressure (ocular hypertension) and their eyes are completely healthy. it's really about the optic nerves ability to retain its resilience to pressure changes. however, glaucoma is a constellation/cluster of symptoms. primarily optic nerve damage, hypertension. etc..

When you do visual field test, for a short time of about 5 minutes per eye, you are testing all areas of your eyes and visual parts of your brain. This is the only time that damaged areas of your optic nerve and visual parts of your brain will do real exercise; in or other ciscumstance healthy areas will cover up the deficiencies to help you to see better; This is why glaucoma and stroke silently takes a bit of your vision each day without you noticing anything until it is too late. Eye drops and operations help to control the the eye pressure and slow down the progress. There is also another option to consider; practicing eye exercises that test your ability to see even with area partialy affected by glaucoma or stroke. This practice induces slow regeneration of the damaged areas. This is proven by numerous studies for both stroke and glaucoma. For the stroke, exercise is absolutely accepted and required. For glaucoma, exercise as a requirement is a new area of studies and acceptance. What do scientists say about vision exercise: "“When people have a stroke that affects the motor system, they are sent to rehab as soon as possible,” says Huxlin, the James V. Aquavella, M.D. Professor in Ophthalmology at the University of Rochester’s Flaum Eye Institute. “They get retrained to use a weak arm or leg, and to regain speech.” “But if they have a stroke that affects vision, which involves more than 30 percent of our brain matter and is our dominant sense, they are told there’s essentially nothing that can be done.” They’re told “they should go home and get used to being blind.” " So what is the possible solution of this dilema at this time? Try this, simple, but rich with options, Android app, available on Google Play, which enables you to do something about your eyesight every day without any side effects.If you ever been to visual field test, you allready know how to use the app. There is only one time $4.99 fee, no ads, with free upgrade, and you can use the app for years to come. The following visual dot algorithms are embedded: random, linear(vertical/horizontal/angle), mirroring, neighbour areas,nasal peripheral, visual cognitive recognition, each with options of background colors, dot sizes and intervals from slow to very fast. play.google.com/store/apps/details?

Both are ocular in nature because they both affect the eye. Astigmatism is usually caused by an irregularly shaped cornea (think football-shaped instead of soccer ball-shaped). This causes a refractive error that can be treated with a lens aka glasses. Glaucoma is an increase in pressure in the eye that pushes forward. This is degenerative disease, while refractive errors like astigmatism are not diseases.
