Previous checkup the pressure is ok. But sometimes increase to 17-20.
His left eye vision is only 10%. First valve failed to function after some time and second valve was implant. I remember one of the ops was done by an expert lady professor in UKM.
He is currently on timolol, trusopt and xalatan eye drops.
I'm thinking maybe he should get a second opinion from other doctor.
U said laser can last 6-24 months. After that need to do again?
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.
