Glaucoma

Yes since eye specialists are trained in this field; glaucoma deals with the optic nerves, which you can firstly rely on eye specialists to treat and help with.

Avastin is indicated for treatment of colorectal cancer, kidney cancer, and glioblastoma multiforme. It is no longer indicated for metastatic breast cancer, as it was shown to be ineffective for that application.

Avastin, or Bevacizumab as it is also called, is also used to treat some angiogenesis-related degenerative diseases of the eye including age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and diabetic macular edema.

It takes approximately 2 weeks for majority of swelling to leave,the upper lids sooner,lower lids a bit longer,you will see total results in 3 months as it takes the skin time to conform. H. Registered Nurse, Denver, Colorado

Mucinex DM contains guaifenasin, which shouldn't be taken if you have glaucoma.

No. Above drug should not be uesd if you have glaucoma.

Glaucoma can be acute or chronic and both have high intraocular pressure which is higher in acute than chronic. Chronic glaucoma is the most common type and the patient will not feel any thing until the disease is advanced with constriction in the peripheral visual field that increase gradually till the patient only see through the center of his vision. The acute type which is due to angle closure glaucoma comes with red eye, increase tearing, photophobia or light sensitivity, severe pain that radiate to the head causing headache, nausea, vomiting, blurring of vision due to corneal edema. Acute glaucoma is a medical emergency that should be treated as soon as possible.

You can either be born with glaucoma (congenital) and this can be the primary disease or a secondary one. In the case of it being secondary, it could for example be secondary as part of a rare condition called Axenfelds Anomoly, where the primary is about underdeveloped bones, usually jaws, and teeth can be missing as a result. Though in such a case glaucoma is the secondary part of the problem, it is the first to be diagnosed and is by far the more serious of the two.

Glaucoma can also be hereditary, this could apply to congenital glaucoma or otherwise.

The otherwise then would be developing glaucoma in old age. This is less serious than congenital glaucoma in that it is less aggressive and does not have to be treated for the persons entire life.

Glaucoma is a group of diseases of the optic nerve involving loss of retinal ganglion cells in a characteristic pattern of optic neuropathy. Although raised intraocular pressure is a significant risk factor for developing glaucoma, there is no set threshold for intraocular pressure that causes glaucoma. One person may develop nerve damage at a relatively low pressure, while another person may have high eye pressures for years and yet never develop damage. Untreated glaucoma leads to permanent damage of the optic nerve and resultant visual field loss, which can progress to blindness.

To cure your myopia, first there are many following steps

1.palming (eye exercise).

2.blink your eyes several times as you can.

3.rotate your eyeball in all directions

these are the exercises, which will definitely cure the myopia disease.

The answer to your question will vary depending on the severity of your disease and the medications you are currently taking.

Here are some basic guidelines.

Most concerns with negative reactions to over the counter medications and glaucoma have to do with the risks of angle closure. OTC medications are mainly a risk to people who don't know they are at risk and pain relief medications available over the counter are less likely to be of concern than other medications such as Cold and Allergy medications. Short term pain relief from OTC medicines should offer no significant adverse reactions.

Some medications (cold and allergy meds) can counteract the effects of glaucoma medications, such as beta blockers and Alphagan.

Advil (Ibuprofen) or aspirin are usually not a problem. In fact, aspirin may help by improving blood circulation and preventing strokes.

As with any on-line medical advise, please consult your doctor or pharmacist as soon as possible.

The objective of glaucoma treatment is usually to decrease IOP. When glaucoma is diagnosed, drugs, typically given as eye drops, are usually tried before surgery.

Chronic glaucoma is a group of disorders that affect the eye. The most important cause is increased fluid pressure resulting from overly slow drainage of fluid.

Some of the muscles that operate your jaw run through there. You may want to cut back on things like chewing gum.

Also, if you clench your teeth in your sleep, that can cause soreness during the day, as the muscles try to heal.

Three types of treatments are available for Galucoma: 1) medication -- eye drops and pills, 2) laser procedures and 3) incisional surgery. Medications. The four main families of medications are: beta blockers (Timoptic, Betoptic), carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (Trusopt, Azopt), alpha agonists (Alphagan, Iopidine) and prostaglandin (Xalatan). The first three types of medications decrease production of fluid in the eye, while prostaglandin helps fluid leave the eye through a different pathway located at the back of the eye. Laser procedures. An argon laser may be used to perform a procedure called a trabeculoplasty. The laser is focused into the meshwork where it alters cells there to let aqueous fluid leave the eye more efficiently. It is a painless procedure, taking 10-20 minutes, in a doctor's office or outpatient facility. According to the Glaucoma Foundation, nearly 80% of patients respond well enough to the procedure to delay or avoid further surgery. Some patients can eventually discontinue glaucoma medication. However, pressure increases again in more than half of all patients within two years after laser surgery, according to the National Eye Institute. A laser is also sometimes used to make a small hole in the colored part of the eye (the iris) to allow the aqueous fluid to flow more freely within in the eye. Incisional surgery. Open, incisional surgery may be performed if medication and initial laser treatments are unsuccessful in reducing pressure within the eye. One type of surgery, a trabeculectomy, creates an opening in the wall of the eye so that aqueous humor can drain. If it performed under local anesthetic as an outpatient procedure or may require a brief hospital stay. Most patients can discontinue glaucoma medication after surgery, although 10 to 15% will require additional surgery. About one-third of trabeculectomy patients develop cataracts within five years, according to the Glaucoma Foundation. If the trabeculectomy fails, another type of surgery places a drainage tube into the eye between the cornea and iris. It exits at the junction of the cornea and sclera (the white portion of the eye). The tube drains to a plate that is sewn on the surface of the eye about halfway back. A final -- and infrequently used -- surgical procedure uses a laser or freezing treatment to destroy tissue in the eye that makes aqueous humor Surgery may save remaining vision, but it does not improve sight. Vision may actually be worse following surgery. The key to preserving vision in a glaucoma patient remains early detection. With early detection, the disease can be more easily managed without invasive procedures.

I know when I drink ethanol (aka ethyl alcohol, the kind you find in spirits) it messes up my vision up pretty good.

A lack of oxygen will indeed cause pale skin. Pale skin can also be caused by anemia and should always be evaluated by a doctor or medical professional.

Prostagladins, like latanoprost

The vitreous humor of the eye has an average pH of 7.29 which is just slightly alkaline. Diabetes characteristically causes an abnormal growth of blood vessels in the eye which can result in bleeding into the vitreous humor, which will lower the pH (although the pH is not the problem, it is the opacity of the blood which obscures vision).

Employment is a contract between yourself and an employee. If the person is a "no show" more than three days in a row, the industry practice is that s/he is not employed at your firm. I work in retail and instances like this are very common. Always check references, and consider having "orientation" before putting a new employee on the schedule. Do not hold the job for the person unless circumstances were beyond control such as car failure, jail, or family loss. Even then, the employee should have called. Do not get upset over it, just accept this occurance as a natural part of doing business in today's society.
