There is not medicine in the world that can cure glaucoma. There is glaucoma surgery oversea but I not sure in Malaysia there is such expertise to perform this type of surgery.
To slow down or prevent the condition getting worst, the glaucoma patient need a lot of protein, vitamin E, C and B complex, and nutritions from berries especially bilberry. This post has been edited by life5tyle: Apr 20 2017, 01:57 PM |

My elderly relative had cataract surgery on one eye at a well known clinic in Klang. I think he had some minor complications post surgery and needed more than the average follow up appointments. I think he switched to ISEC Mid Valley for his follow up treatments instead of continuing them in Klang.
Then he chose to have another cataract surgery for the other eye in University Hosp. He felt that it was more painful than the first cataract surgery and overheard other post-op patients leaving the clinic also groaning in pain. The complications was more serious this time and the follow up treatments did not help. At one time he had to take up to 5 different medications which had side effects and were expensive. I think they were for follow up + glaucoma. I don't know when exactly he was told that he also had glaucoma but it is one complication from having cataract surgery. He said his doctor 'gave up' and referred him to a colleague (a Malay woman doctor). His final doctor performed glaucoma surgery which was alot more successful. After some time with follow ups he could quit the medications and his eyes are fine but he sometimes needs to wear sunglasses outdoors. One of his gripes was that his doctors at ISEC, Klang clinic, University Hosp did not know how to perform glaucoma surgery but did not refer him to someone qualified and continued money wasting follow up visits. |

QUOTE(Gen-X @ Jan 6 2016, 04:01 PM) Bro, you stated the one that you tested with is the never model. So, I guess it should be more "accurate" than the older models that I was tested with. May i know what is the doctors name in KL? i have high pressure in my eyes and would like to do some check up.And what qualification the so called 2 optometrists have? Only recommend to go see specialist if reading is 25 and above!!! FYI, my daughter at age 14, while in Melbourne went to an optometrist (who obtained a Doctor of Optometry from Uni of Melbourne) and had her eyes' pressure tested with the puff machine ( Ramjade - you taught me an easier way to described the machines, haha) and got readings of 24 and the Optometrist was so worried that she insisted that my wife takes my daughter to a specialist and was willing to refer my daughter to one! And when my daughter revisited the optometrist to get another pair of specs a few months later, she reminded my wife to make sure that my daughter go seek an specialist's opinion in respect to her high eyes pressure readings. Of course, my daughter have since then visited a specialist. Bro, if any family member (auntie or uncle included) of yours have Glaucoma, I strongly recommend that you go a specialist to have your eyes pressure test taken. And if you feel your vision has deteriorated, even slightly, I suggest to go take a vision test too for your records so that in the future you have some reference to check if you vision deteriorates any future. Seeing a specialist and taking the vision test here in Malaysia is cheap compared to what I pay in SG (afer conversion). But, if you are ever told you need to go for an operation, best you get a second opinion from SG. I have been seeing my SG specialist for 5 years (after being told here by a so called top Glaucoma specialist in KL that I need to go for an operation) and my pressure has maintained and I'm still using the same medication she prescribed to me when I first met her. |

My 2 cents on glaucoma ..
* on glaucoma treatment for the past 20+ years * on eye drops treatment (3 types per day) * pressures ranged from 11-20 * but dont assume you are safe when the pressure is below the alarm (24 I think) as glaucoma damage can still persist when the pressure is low. * cost? From memory for standard glaucoma check RM100+. Normally, eye pressure test, field of vision and internal eye structure visual check (?). For additional eye check, like the retina thickness layer, rm200+. * don't be too focused now on getting the best eye specialist. Just go to a good one for your initial check. Only later if that doctor says you need surgery etc, then consult another one. * first treatment phase is by eye drops. * second treatment phase is by surgery (laser to punch a hole for the drainage) * third stage ? * glaucoma is a silent killer, you don't feel or see the symptoms till too late. So strongly advise you to follow Nike's slogan JUST DO IT! Ha. All the best. |
