Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Glaucoma / September 2007Advice
I am 37, I live in South America, I was diagnosticated with Pigmentary Glaucoma a year ago, I have tried Xalatan, Cosopt and Alphagan, all three with terrible side effects, those affect my normal life, at this moment I am not taking any medicine, I need advice about any other medications , because I am very worry about my situation, I was checked in Miami in the Bascom Palmer, one doctor say that I should still try medications becuase I am too young for cirgury and the other doctor say that I should go cirgury, if any of you can help me, please tell me > I am 37, I live in South America, I was diagnosticated with Pigmentary > Glaucoma a year ago, I have tried Xalatan, Cosopt and Alphagan, all [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > doctor say that I should go cirgury, if any of you can help me, please > tell me I don't know what surgery they are recommending. I had a laser iridectomy at 25 in one eye and at 28 in the other. I also had a trabeculectomy at 30. it failed at 45 and had to be redone. I had surgery because there was no other choice. I hear wonderful things about the doctors at Bascom Palmer. good luck, buena suerte > > I am 37, I live in South America, I was diagnosticated with Pigmentary > > Glaucoma a year ago, I have tried Xalatan, Cosopt and Alphagan, all [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > surgery because there was no other choice.

All done by glaucoma surgeons. The last trab, done in 1998, is working very well. I don't take any drops and the pressure is staying low. > > > I am 37, I live in South America, I was diagnosticated with Pigmentary > > > Glaucoma a year ago, I have tried Xalatan, Cosopt and Alphagan, all [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > - Show quoted text - Oh, I forgot to answer your question about vision. The eye with the trabs also has a cataract that cannot be removed, so my vision is not good but I don't know how much is due to the cataract and how much due to the glaucoma. Why can't the cataract be removed? > > > > I am 37, I live in South America, I was diagnosticated with Pigmentary > > > > Glaucoma a year ago, I have tried Xalatan, Cosopt and Alphagan, all [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > good but I don't know how much is due to the cataract and how much due > to the glaucoma. > Why can't the cataract be removed? > [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > > - Show quoted text - because the rest of the eye has so much damage from the original injury. So your eye had some kind of injury before getting glaucoma or are you saying that the trab surgery you had injured your eye somehow? I don't think I have ever heard of someone not being able to get a catarct removed after trab surgery.

Bascom Palmer is an excelent center, with some of the best glaucoma specialists of the world, if I remember. Maybe you need a third opinion. Good luck! SP PS: Moro no Brasil.
