Answer by umdbhik
I would think PRK would be more of an option than LASIK, due to the keratome not being used. That’s a question you’ll have to ask the surgeon.

Glaucoma is an eye disease with tense eyeball, dilated and greenish pupil, and marked impairment of vision which may cause blindness. It is often caused by emotional excitement or over fatigue, and in the early stages the patient may suffer from slight distension of eyeball, ipsilateral frontal headache, soreness of the nose, and blurred vision as though the eyeball were covered by fog. After a rest, the symptoms may disappear, but if not effectively treated serious clinical manifestations of glaucoma may appear. In traditional Chinese medicine glaucoma can be divided into two types: The prompt onset of greenish glaucoma and the insidious onset of bluish glaucoma.
Glaucoma in modern medicine is similar and can be treated by the following methods.
Massage therapy;Acupuncture therapy;herbal medicine after operation

Question by bbcpdk: what is Glutathione is it ready can cure glaucoma?
I read a few years back about an ophthamologist in the State of Washington who was having success treating patients with a natural food. Studies have shown that the eyes are depleat in the natural substance called Glutathione (your body makes this). What he did was have his patients dissolve a pinch of 100% bio-available whey protein isolate in sterile saline solution (like what Bausch and Lomb sell over the counter). You simply put a couple drops in each eye 2-3 times per day. It takes 3-4 months for the body to heal itself, but he found remarkable results. You could Google “glaucome, glutathione” or “glaucoma , whey protein” if you want to find out more.
Briefly why it works. Every cell in your body requires glutathione. When your body, or a part is depleated, the cells will oxidyze more readily. Also, your body will not make a new cell if there is insufficient glutathione available to protect it. Bio-available simply means that it is ready to be used by a cell. Thus, the cells in the eye will absorb the protein and the essential amino acids it provides will directly be used to manufacture glutathione. That’s it in a nutshell.

Basically, a glaucoma cure currently does not exist, but there are many things you can do to help protect your vision. Yes, there is now an emerging research that suggests that a small protein called glutathione plays a significant role in protecting the eyes. Given that Glaucoma patients have been found to generally have very low glutathione levels, increasing glutathione levels with improved ocular nutrition can halt progress and often reverse these conditions. Alpha-Lipoic Acid may also help in the natural treatment of Glaucoma, because of its ability to regenerate several antioxidants back to their active states, but in the case of acute angle-closure glaucoma, treatment must be initiated immediately to prevent permanent vision loss. In this case, the patient must be treated medically and should not attempt to use natural therapies or nutritional supplements.

Question by debatetopic: A pharmacist is to prepare 15 milliliters of special eye drops for a glaucoma patient. The eye drop solut…?
(I) A pharmacist is to prepare 15 milliliters of special eye drops for aglaucoma patient. The eye-drop solution must have a 2% active ingredient, but the pharmacist only has 10% solution and 1% solution in stock. Can the pharmacist use the solutions she has in stock to fill the prescription? If she can, show the amount (volume in milliliters) of the 10% solution and the 1% solution that she would use to fill the prescription.
*************************************************************
(II) The same pharmacist receives a large number of prescriptions of special eye drops for glaucoma patients. The eye drop prescriptions vary in volume but each requires a 2% active ingredient. Help the pharmacist find a convenient way to determine the approximate amounts of the 10% solution and 1% solution needed for a given volume of eye drops.
(hint: since the volume of the final prescription varies, you are not looking for exact amount of 10% or 1% solutions as you did for question #1)
Best answer:
Answer by JimBurnell
1)
x = amount of 10% solution in mL
y = amount of 1% solution in mL
x + y = 15
.1x + .01y = 15(.02)
Solve it yourself.
2)
Introduce a third variable z, the volume to be produced.
x + y = z
.1x + .01y = .02z
Solve once by eliminating x and finding y in terms of z and then solve again by eliminating y and finding x in terms of z.

Question by make_every_second_count: My dad has Glaucoma, what can i do to help?
He has had it in his right eye for about 5 years, the eye is starting to protrude a bit, and he has almost no vision in it. He is an artist and he needs both eyes! Are there any good solutions out there, especially natural remedies?
Please note: this question is not for you negative people who live in awe of doctors who love to say there is nothing that can be done. I’m asking for good medical or alternative health advice from people who are optimistic and know of something that CAN be done. If you don’t know of anything, please don’t bother to answer, i don’t need to hear it AGAIN. Thanks very much.

You can not help his physical condition no matter how much you wish to do that. What you can do is be a good listener. As the glaucoma progresses your father will be grieving. He is grieving for the self who he used to be, except part of him is still here. Do not tell him to cheer up or to get hold of himself. Let him mourn. Listen to him. Do not tell him how he SHOULD feel. Just be there for him as he works his own way through this.
