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.

Bro (if sis, please excuse me), ISEC is in KL, SNEC in in Singapore.

As for the cost, just say treatment is Ringgit for Dollars.

Examples:

Consultation is SGD80.

Vision test about RM100 at ISEC (cannot remember the exact amount). In SNEC is about SGD100.

And my Singapore doctor does more tests than ISEC, example, often does another test to see the "nerves" which cost about another SGD100.

Also need to add air fare to the cost. For me, got to add hotel and shopping cost when my wife follow me to SG, haha.

By the way, what is the pressure in your dad's eyes? Fluctuates by how much? Mine also can fluctuate. Reading also depends how good is the doctor is, no kidding. No two doctor will give you the same reading. And my doctor said it also depends on the time of the day.

And she knows I am not keen for operation, and few months back my pressure increased and she recommended laser treatment which I agreed. If you want to know exactly how much then PM me when your dad needs it. And guess what, after the laser,I felt my vision improved slightly and it was reconfirmed that this is indeed the case a month later when I took the vision test - it's a miracle, haha. But, I don't think it will last. BUT, laser is not for everyone as it only last for 6 months to 2 years max. And the doctor told me some people don't even response to laser treatment.

hi, may i know how's your dad? as my mom is having the same condition as well. only left 10% for her left eye. plus she has cataract. all the while having check ups in sg buloh hospital. then last month the doc there found out the iop was high n did not decrease n referred her to specialist in selayang. the doc there said only 10% of the good nerve is left. so said need operation for the glaucoma n cataract but said its a 50:50 chance n the risk will be vision lost. even with operation, it will not improve vision just to maintain the 10% of the nerve left but she said there r chances that the remaining 10% will be damaged during operation too n lead to loss of vision.

so im trying to get a second or maybe third opinion from other specialists but having difficulties finding one here in klang valley. have u found an experienced specialist yet?
