Diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma are very different. U can google for more info.

I would rather go to any other eye specialist center than tun hussien onn hospital. Its not cheap but still need to wait a long time. Some doctors there scold patients and dont explain much. Go PPUM or UH if you want good but much cheaper.

If u can afford then pm me for private good doctors.

Just private message me if anyone wants a private practice glaucoma specialist referral. definitely better than ISEC doctor that refused to talk to patients, more caring and ethical.

Yes, I heard she is good, according to my optometrist friend in usj, subang jaya.

your family has history of glaucoma?

if no, i can ask my optom friends to do the free fundus check for u to see the optic nerve head 1st.

general ophthalmologist, not glaucoma specialist. you have glaucoma?

Air puff non contact tonometry and anterior chamber angle are not accurate, its best to check the optic cup disc ratio and compare between the 2 eyes.

normotensive open angle glaucoma will give false negative on tonometry and angle.

If CDR is abnormal or asymmetrical, then do visual field test to check how much vision is preserved.

if you live in subang area, you can go to my optometrist friends shop (usj optometrist in taipan) for screening, they do non mydriatic fundus photography and check angle for free. they can help you check all eye disease and monitor it yearly.

Yes they are trained in hospitals like HKL, hosp sg buloh and one of them was trained in india hosp. Fundus camera is to look at the optic nerve head for cup disc ratio and also checking retinal health. They dont dilate your eyes so that is good, you wont see blur or glare after the test. They will examine with slit lamps to check cataract and etc. all that tests are free! They will refer to the correct specialist for specific disease if they found any abnormality.

just go straight to the shop, usj optometrist. they are doing for the public, u can add them in fb to make appointment.

Dont worry, penang i also got friend to help you check for free. Look for vantage optometry in tanjung tokong. Tell them you want to check for eye disease. Its all free too!

Pm me your name then i arrange for u.

any of your family member or close relative has glaucoma?

if there is, then best to see a glaucoma specialist instead of general ophthalmologist.

rubbing the eyes wont increase the intraocular pressure.

anyway its quite expensive to do all the glaucoma test, total bill can be RM 800++ inclusive of glaucoma specialist consultation in private hosp, thats even with my letter for discount.

there are a few very good glaucoma specialist in malaysia now but mostly practicing in private medical centres.

where is your location?

do you prefer to fly in to penang or selangor to see a glaucoma specialist?

Yes i know where to get the icare self assessment tonometer. Or u can pm me your contact so i can ask the salesman to contact u.

hi, all the government hospital with eye clinic can do cataract surgery for your mum, they will direct u to the panel pharmacy to purchase the IOL (intraocular lens) price range rm 500-750 depending on the type suitable for her eye.
