Medical Forum / General / Vision / April 2008Preservative free anti-glaucoma drops
What kind of preservative free eye drops are available for treating glaucoma? My ophthalmologist agrees that preservatives can give problems. It seems that all of her offerings contain BAK. I apologize that I do not remember who first warned be about preservatives. Bill WTF? Why not do the bates method? >I apologize that I do not remember who first warned be about >preservatives. It was Neil Brooks who warned you. > WTF? > > Why not do the bates method? Untreated glaucoma can lead to permanent blindness. Do not use the unproven Bates method to treat this very serious disease. In article <3c035834-b176-42f1-a0d7-ea88146f0565@p25g2000pri.googlegroups.com>, > > WTF? > > > > Why not do the bates method? > > Untreated glaucoma can lead to permanent blindness. Do not use the > unproven Bates method to treat this very serious disease. Even if the Bates method worked for refraction correction, why would anyone even think of it for glaucoma, I have been thinking cannabis. Are eye drops available? Would that require a preservative? Bill There have been cases in which glaucoma was cured. > There have been cases in which glaucoma was cured. I have a friend in Nigeria who wants to send you some money. -MT > > There have been cases in which glaucoma was cured. > > I have a friend in Nigeria who wants to send you some money. > > -MT Tell him to send it over, then. > There have been cases in which glaucoma was cured. Playing around with funny advice is irresponsible in this area. The treatment of glaucoma and its effect on the patient is best left to the professionals, some of who have nerve enough and kind enough to remain on this god-forsaken, rabid bulletin board. I am being serious. This is not funny advice. >I am being serious. This is not funny advice. Actually it is extremely funny advice. And I hope you know it. (Do you???). There is some chance that someone just may take it (your comments) seriously. With the resultant damage that just might ensue. By the way, from what concoction does "absoutelyinvincible" name come from? You are wrong medically, physiologically, ill mannered, disrespectful and (last (hah!) but not least, hurtful and unkind). (Did I leave anything out??). >>I am being serious. This is not funny advice. > > Actually it is extremely funny advice. And I hope you know it. (Do >you???). There is some chance that someone just may take it (your comments) >seriously. With the resultant damage that just might ensue. We should also add that if he says he has a cure for things like glaucoma, he is essentially practicing medicine without a license which is a serious crime. If he is really 16 years old then maybe he can get away with it for now, but if he continues when he gets older then he could get in trouble... >from what concoction does "absoutelyinvincible" name come from? Well, when I was making a hotmail account I couldn't decide what to call it, and most of the names I wanted were already taken up, so I just decided on 'absolutelyinvincible' because I knew that no one else would have that name, and I think it sounds cool too. > >from what concoction does "absoutelyinvincible" name come from? > > Well, when I was making a hotmail account I couldn't decide what to > call it, and most of the names I wanted were already taken up, so I > just decided on 'absolutelyinvincible' because I knew that no one else > would have that name, and I think it sounds cool too. Well, OK, I understand that, but what are you "absolutelyinvincible" at?? Or hope to be??? Nothing, dude. It's just like a cool tag name. You know, like 'Princess X' or 'TheRealMrT' etc. It's like, just something memorable and catchy. I'm certainly not trying to imply am absolutelyinvincible! > Nothing, dude.

LOL, I love that name, actually! What is everyone complaining about? =P Seriously though, the Bates method makes you absolutely invincible to pain and discomfort of all kinds. (To the idiots on this site: To know what I'm talking about, obviously you'd have to read The Book.) >Seriously though, the Bates method makes you absolutely invincible to >pain and discomfort of all kinds. (To the idiots on this site: To know >what I'm talking about, obviously you'd have to read The Book.) You went a little too far on that one, Jason, and you tipped your hand. Now I know that you are just a troll. You are here to stir things up and see how much reaction you can get as any typical troll does. I assume Zetsu is the same, so I won't be answering either of you any more. I hope others in this newsgroup do the same. (hint, hint...) > >Seriously though, the Bates method makes you absolutely invincible to > >pain and discomfort of all kinds. (To the idiots on this site: To know [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > I hope others in this newsgroup do the same. (hint, hint...) I'm sorry...but I am no troll! BTW: regarding the post that John Sheridan responded to: I was obviously just being humorous, but some of it was fact. It is true that pain can be relieved with the Bates method. PS: John, please refrain from personal insults. I do not believe Zetsu is a troll, either. Back up your arguments. And if it's just your opinion, please refrain from clicking "Send" to soon. Thanks > WTF? > > Why not do the bates method? I'm SORRY I said that. I'll be more scientific from now on. > What kind of preservative free eye drops are available for treating > glaucoma?

Are you having symptoms of BAK sensitivity? Almost all the therapeutic drops do have BAK, it is not your doctor's fault; she can only prescribe what is available. There may be some unit dose drops available, ask your pharmacist to research whether your current drops are available in a unit dose formalation. Judy >What kind of preservative free eye drops are available for treating >glaucoma? Off-the-shelf? Preservative-free timolol maleate ophthalmic solution was (still is?) available in the form of the MERCK brandname TIMOPTIC -- see <http://tinyurl.com/5sow9u> is the only I am aware of. Non-BAK preserved topical IOP lowering drops include, at least, Alcon's TRAVATAN-Z (see <http://tinyurl.com/5wf5bs>) and Allergan's ALPHAGAN-P (see <http://tinyurl.com/64p7ly>). Places like Leiter's Pharmacy in San Jose (see <http://tinyurl.com/6ewjur>) can compound a bunch more. > My ophthalmologist agrees that preservatives can give > problems. It can. > It seems that all of her offerings contain BAK. Almost all of them do. |
