Another visit to my Doc Yesterday.. Bad result - eyes pressure now stood at 23!! So she stopped me on Trimotol but prescribed me COSOPT twice a day + the usual Travatn....sad day...
...Lucky my OCT & Visual field test showing no further deterioration and maintained the same level as last year..phewww...
BTW,
Gen-X , On your other thread and also your blog, interested to know how's your glaucoma now. If I can recall you was also on Travtan +Cosopt and that brought your pressure to 13?
Wah, so cool man, how come I get shown reply message in this thread when I did not even know this thread exist? Now I know I can call for other member by using
nickname By the way,
in my article titled Glaucoma Operation Singapore, I did mention I was prescribed Lumigan + Cosopt by my SG doc after Travatan failed.
I am pleased to inform that my pressure has been hovering around 13-17 for 2 years now.... and the odd thing is, my gorgeous SG Doc said there is an "improvement" to my left eye which I do not really know what she meant and did not bother to ask. Every 6 months in addition to visual field test, the SG doctor also scan both my eye's nerves. Since mid last year I have been visiting my SG doc every 6 months as my pressure has been constant.
And the best thing is I am still go to the KL doctor just to check my eye's pressure in between my trips to SG, and everytime he's surprised that the pressure remains relatively constant
He has no idea I am on Lumigan. It is like as if he know my pressure will increase if I stayed with Travatan.
Bro, do you go outside often exposed to the sun? I believe in addition to Lumigan+Cospot, my pressure has remained constant because I no longer spend hours in the sun and change my lifestyle by doing nothing much except eat shit and sleep.
Do you believe in Chinese Medicine? If you do try out "Ho Ti Cho - porcupine stone". Try it once and see if it makes any diff to you BUT do not take it often.
