Coping with Glaucoma: Lets talk about it

Hi Gilda T...Have you got glaucoma? If so, how do you cope?

I was diagnosed with glaucoma 2007. To be honest I didn't think anything was wrong with my eyes until I went to Morefields Eye Hospital in London England. They told me I was losing my sight and had to have Trabeculectomy operations on both my eyes which I had done, R/eye in August and the L/eye in October 2011 to reduce the pressure in both my eyes. My eyes keep watering a lot and recently my R/eye has been giving me great pain which I am using Monopost drops for that one eye. I also use Hy-Lo drops daily for irritation. I have been having pains in my R/eye for quite a while now and the pressure had risen to 14 last time I went to Morefields last November, my R/eye is the worst eye. I find that both my eyes are blurry a lot lately and have difficulty seeing faces and TV, sometimes I don't see things at all because everything seems like a mist. When writing on my laptop I sometimes have the font on 200 so I can see it better and another time on 150 font. My next appointment at Morefields Eye Hospital is 15/01/2016.

I have also got cataracts in both eyes. I was told they are not ripe enough to do anything about them yet. Nothing was mentioned about that last time I went to the hospital.

I forgot to add an up-date of my last appointment at Moorefields Eye Hospital 15/01/2016. It seems that my R/eye has gotten worse and was told to keep using the Monopost drops in my R/eye and to see how it is on my next visit. I was told what the next appointment was but, I can't remember, I think it's in May!?? I wasn't given an appointment letter because  the ambulance had arrived to fetch me back home. I always get a phone call from Moorefields Transport 2 days before my appointment.

I am noticing lately that my vision seems really blurry and I seem to be making a lot of mistakes because things and faces, especially TV don't seem clear to me, all of which makes me feel un-safe at times.

Is eye watering part of the symptoms because I have a lot of problems with this, mention it to the doctor and she has no answer (again seems no answer for anything -she is new and very young)

I have trouble with my eyes I have had to have them lasered twice as I get a lot of pressure behind the eye they water so much constantly I have to use eye drops 6 times a day and eye ointment at night I wear glasses for out side sunglasses for the UV and glasses for reading and glasses for computer but it does get on my nerves when I go out when they dont stop watering but they say it is the start of glaucoma

I don’t have Glaucoma , but I have sticky eyes each morning.They tend to water a lot on the outer corner a lot, I have had them checked at hospital as they found my eyes had little it no drainage, and I had 2 pinholes  made into each eye!!

Latanoprist timolol drops

For Glaucoma I use latanoprost/Timolol at night but I also have Macular degeneration in both eyes. I struggle with this when knitting or reading.
