Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Glaucoma / April 2004NEW,GLAUCOMEA???/
ask a question the other day,thank you for your answers. dont see the od for another week from today.so,just throwing it outthere for those who may know,who have been through it etc. have a cataract in one eye,the other eye he says has glaucoma. my question,i have emphazema,one of my drugs is prednisone.heard many side effects from that drug. if it is giving me glaucoma,or such in one eys,why not the other?/cataracy he says in one eye,glaucoma in the other. i am confused. cant wait to see him in a week,but nervous,hard to wait a week. lol HI GRM -- I also have copd ( emphasema ) and developed a cataract after using Prednisone --the Opthamalogist told me my C was caused from the meds but did not say which med -However he said the C would not come back after surgery -which is April 5 -Monday . I do have cataracts in Both eyes & glaucoma in both eyes . Curious to see DR. Cohn's response to you >HI GRM -- I also have copd ( emphasema ) and developed a cataract after >using Prednisone --the Opthamalogist told me my C was caused from the >meds but did not say which med -However he said the C would not come >back after surgery -which is April 5 -Monday .

Leigh -- "Why pay for cologne when mustard is free?" - Filburt Thanks Leigh --I will let you know how it turns out - People who have had it done say it's a piece of cake ; ) we shall see -- Thanks Leigh --so far so good with the eye -it's so weird to see differently in each eye --the colors are really bright -almost too much so with the surgery eye -and much darker on the tan side with the other eye -whch will be operated on on the 17th of May .Where the articles are real light -like white -it has a bluesih tinge --also things are smaller with the surgery eye --MY slim fast can is so little --I'd rther use the eye with the cararact when I use that for my dinner ; ) There is no pain with the surgery because they put everything n the kitchen sink before surgery -BUT it is tedious -someone seems to be sanding down your eyeball : ) My doc says steroids definitely caused my cataracts . >Thanks Leigh --so far so good with the eye -it's so weird to see >differently in each eye --the colors are really bright -almost too much [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >before surgery -BUT it is tedious -someone seems to be sanding down your >eyeball : ) My doc says steroids definitely caused my cataracts . I'm glad all seems to be going well! But it doesn't seem fair that your SlimFast can shrunk while you were at the doctor's office. ;) Leigh -- "Why pay for cologne when mustard is free?" - Filburt |
