Hi Peter, so sad to read about all the issues you had since a very young age. I'm studying glaucoma in Glasgow, Scotland. At uni we have different teams doing studies on different aspects of glaucoma. Some suggested it could be cardiovascular related. Families with heart disease and glaucoma are at risk, so people in their direct family need to get their eyes checked regularly (every year, or every 2 years) Yours is steroid induced. Any chance you could show us your left eye close-up? I would like to see the sclera and the iris of the eye. Not sure if I could ask you to email me perhaps a very clear photo? Just thought I'd ask. All the best for your future treatments and sending you good vibes. Thanks for your video. 🙏🏻

What do you think of the I Dose implant?

I am allergic to the preservative in the eyedrops for glaucoma. None of my PF eyedrops are covered, and they are very expensive. The sad part is that the FDA knows that with the advances in sterilization that we have now, there is no reason to continue putting “Clorox” in the eye drops. What do you think?

Thank you!

I love your videos! Thank you for sharing the knowledge you’ve acquired through this journey! God Bless you!

Wow! You are such an inspiration! Thank you!

Good luck my friend. I have had glaucoma for 25 years and up to about five years ago treated it with drops. The drops stopped working and I have had stents in both eyes, three shunts in left eye, and one shunt in right eye. Most recently I had the third shunt in left eye last week and I am slowly getting better but the vision is blurry. Vision has been blurry in left eye for three years now and doesn't get any better. I am 20/40 in right eye and 20/60 left eye at last office visit. I still work only because I see pretty well out of my right eye. Doctor tells me I will eventually have to have another shunt in the right eye. I'm running out of room for shunts in my left eye since I've had all the surgeries. Lots of scar tissue. Not sure what's on the horizon after this. I try not to worry about it. I pray for healing for you and me too and all the others in our predicament.

Peter, Thanks for sharing your experience. I salute you in turning your experience into something postive and potentially helping others.

Please investigate Eye Track Advance canaloplasty

When my son was 6 months old, we discovered that he had glaucoma. At that time, his eye pressure was around 25-27. He underwent a trabeculectomy, but it didn’t help much. For a year after the surgeries, we continuously applied eye drops, but his pressure remained around 22-23. After a year, the pressure in one of his eyes spiked to 30. That’s when Ahmed Valve implants were placed. On the day of the surgery, his eye pressure was nearly 40. They performed laser treatment on the eye with 40 pressure to lower it slightly, and the Ahmed Valve was implanted in the other eye. Two weeks later, the eye that had the laser treatment also received an Ahmed Valve implant. For a year, these implants maintained a pressure of 9-10 in his eyes. After a year, one of the eyes started showing increased pressure again, so we began using eye drops. Currently, we are maintaining a pressure of 9-12/13, and we hope it stays this way for a few more years because it was very challenging for him to resist rubbing his eyes and to adapt to living with glaucoma. In reality, Ahmed Valve implants do help, but their effectiveness is short-lived. After about 4-5 years, they start to lose their functionality.

Sending you love ❤

Great Video, Keep it up bro

Please continue your efforts it's great

So true, I am emotionally killed due to my lost vision in my left eye..I try not to think about it but it’s impossible…I used to play sports and cannot…my left eye is blind.. and my right eye thank god is still good as long as I keep using my drops 2 to 3 times a day..then my pressure will stay at 20 to 21..and with glasses I still see 20/ 30.. thank god….left eye pressure is 10 to 11 and the eye is blind it sees only shapes and shadows and doc estimates it to be 20/ 1000, uncorrectable by any kind of lense.. due to a botched trabeculectamy…please dear god if ur doctor wants to do a trabeculectamy…run away, u will lose your vision immediately…at least with glaucoma untreated u will have 3 years of good vision before it slowly leaves you..

Normal pressure is 11-21..according to “ Dr Elisabeth” channel…please guys don’t get a shunt or stent put in your eye , called a trabeculectamy, unless the doctor is very very very competent…In the hands of a incompetent doctor, the trabeculectamy will cause blindness 90% of time…I know…also look into some of the MiGs surgeries..such as Omni or canaloplasty…Less chance of going blind with the MiGs surgery, …MiGs only reduce the eye pressure by 6 to 8 points, but then you use drops in conjunction and now you have 12 points reduction total…good speed and good luck…

The thing I noticed about the eye drops is that even if u use eye drops 3 times a day for say 60 days the Most reduction I would get would be 6 points of pressure…so my right eye had a pressure of 27 and with the drops it went down to 21..which for me is good..now the left eye is a different story…it had a pressure of 42..and after 2 months of drops 3 times a day , pressure went down to 36..but vision still ok, just a tiny bit blurry due to the high pressure…Doctor performed a trabeculectamy ( putting a stent in the eye), IOP immediately drops to 9 to 10, and here’s the kicker , the trabeculectamy caused to to go 80% blind and doc says “ oh, well these things happen”….now I am depressed…

I’ll toss in my 2 cents..I am 65 with glaucoma in both eyes…my right eye had a IOP of 27, my left eye had a IOP of 42..So doctor puts me on pressure reducer drops for both eyes 3 times a day…so after 3 months of drops my right eye IOP is 20 and my left eye is 34…so then doctor recommends surgery for left eye…he performed a trabeculectamy…putting shunt in the eye..and a bleb at top…well guess what?…now I have a new set of problems….my new IOP in my eye is 8…and the eye has lost 80% of vision for distance, and lost 80% of closeup vision..Basically my left eye is now blind because of the trabeculectamy!!! All my doctors says is “ that’s the risk of this type of glaucoma surgery..I have since researched this surgery and see on most websites, that the patient usually does lose their pre op vision with a trabeculectamy…and most patients take 2 years to even gain 70% of the vision they had prior to surgery…I am so depressed now that I have lost 80 % vision due to a procedure called a trabeculectamy and my doctor didn’t warn me at all…

Anything you would recommend for a person who has eye pain routinely and feels the high pressure in their

Great video bro. This can really help me

You dont get red eyes from eye drops? I use ganfort and cosopt and i get ret eyes. Like vains gets visible in the eyes

Loosing vision loss? Get your vision checked. Go to an ophthalmologist not an optometrist. Follow the instructions from the doctor. Take your prescribed medication. Get a second opinion when needed. Live a healthy lifestyle if possible. That helps prevent all illnesses.

love the tips, Peter Lim! We need more workout videos like this

How old were you when you first found out that you had glaucoma?I couldn't imagine losing my vision, seeing that I'm so reliant on it.

Hi I'm form thailand, I had a badminton accident and hit my eyeball 3 months ago, resulting in high intraocular pressure. The doctor diagnosed that I would need to take medication for the rest of my life because of Angle recession but I still didn't have glaucoma. I'm currently on Brimonidine and cosop drops (only at night) IOP 17-19. Do you have any recommendations? for long-term adjustment after this Because I'm just 28 years old

What was the Laser Procedure Performed , if you can share ? Thanks

I was diagnosed with glaucoma January 2024. I don't feel any symptoms at all. I just had blurry vision on my left eye whenever I'm stressed thinking about things. I walked 30 minutes when my vision gets blurry then automatically get back to normal. I don't feel pain on my eye at all but I still decided to have an appointment to a doctor though my blurry vision doesn't really affects doing everyday chores, then the doctor said that I had an open angle glaucoma and need to be on eyedrops treatment (latanoprost, dorzolomide timolol and brimonidine). As soon as i use eyedrops that's when I slowly started loosing my peripheral vision and taking eyedrops for a month doesn't lower my IOP so the doctor suggested me to undergo surgery (Phacoemulsification/March 25). My vision got narrowed when i used those eyedrops but after the surgery my vision got wider again and back to normal even my peripheral vision improved, I may say about 70%. Then after 7 months of surgery I noticed that I again had blurry vision and it's getting worst to the point that I can't read anything using my left eye literally. Went to my doctor again said that I had PCO which really common after a Phaco surgery and the blurry vision that i experienced is caused by cells that remain after surgery growing on the lens capsule, making it cloudy and affecting vision and all we need to do is to undergo a YAG treatment. I was scheduled January next year to undergo YAG and keep praying to God to guide my doctor to successfully do the treatment. Glaucoma is not a joke and we should comply to any treatment advised by our doctors. NO cure for glaucoma and any damage done to our optic nerve was irreversible. Glaucoma gives me anxiety and depression beyond what i expected. I never been so worried in my life before i had this. Thinking about getting blind and not able to see the beauty of this world is something I don't want anyone to experience. But there's still hope. We just need to accept God as our savior and life's pilot. Let him be the Captain of our plane. He won't lead us astray. He answered our prayers in a way that we don't even noticed. With God nothing is impossible. Just trust Him.

Eye stem cell is very good but not need to do right now if presser too night- Stem cel not allow in USA may be somewhere in Mexico, Thailand,Swiss Medica clinic in Russia ….

I'm curious. I've used eye drops in the past (not for glaucoma), but how do cold or refrigeratored eye drops feel on the eyes? I somehow imagine that they feel a bit soothing, lol.

I have a question. As the development of your glaucoma originated from using prednisone, what treatement do you currently use for your kidney diease now? The reason why I ask is because i use prednisone on and off, and I wonder should i stop using it altogether forever.

hey quick question how long were you using steroid for your liver ? my doctor told me I am a glaucoma suspect ( no glaucoma yet ) and I have a gum problem in my mouth and my dentist wants to use a steroid but I've been doing research and saw that any steroid is bad for eye pressure long term . that's why im asking how long were you using steroids.

Hey man, thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. I’m 35 and have congenital glaucoma since a kid which luckily had been stable until recently when I had to undergo an operation for a detached retina a month ago which gave complications with the eye pressure, so I will need to have the aqueous shunt surgery in a couple of days. To be honest I was very nervous as to getting it done, but hearing your experience has given me reassurance it’ll be ok Thanks again so much man and hope all goes well for you

I am having glaucoma over a year, it changed my life, I can't drive anymore, I am having a cloudy and dim vision, and I guess I will have to live with it rest of my life, so depress.

Also what is the exercise at 3:55 called?

What other bodyweight triceps exercises do u recommend?

Impressive video, Peter Lim. Looking forward to seeing more content from you. I smashed that thumbs up button on your upload. Keep up the fantastic work! Your insights on how to manage workouts with glaucoma were really enlightening. Have you considered discussing how different types of exercises might impact intraocular pressure in varying individuals?

What if i don't have glaucoma does b3 have any effects for someone with weaker vision?

I think that the correct form of vitamin B3 for glaucoma treatment is Niacinamide (nicotinamide), not Niacin. Very good video: ruclips.net/video/Ev0cQlPps0Y/видео.html&ab_channel=GlaucomaUK4

Thank you for your honesty. I Came down with Uveitus back in 1998. I have been on glaucoma eye solutions and I have gotten Uveitus episodes every 3-4 yrs. I currently had been free of high pressure with the eye medication but in May 2024, I had an outbreak of Uvietus and was placed on Prednisilone but it's been 6 months and I have not been able to taper off the prednisilone. Today, my opthomologist offered the shunt surgery but I am concerned for the problems afterwards. I had a botched surgery to repair a hiatal hernia 10 yrs ago and it has caused permanent damage. $150,000 does not equal the damage they caused. The laser surgery to releave the pressure seems much easier for me. That shunt surgery looks very complicated and there are lots of possible problems. I know you did not like the laser. Thanks for your video.

Thank you.

God bless you.

Thank you so much for the information. Your videos are good information.

I really commend your efforts on your research.

I am 19 and suffering from drug induced glaucoma.....Pls tell that if I regularly put eye drops then will my vision be ok in future.....I am so tensed😢

Thank you so much.

Google glaucoma and nicotinamide or vitamin B3. There on-going trials with this that look very promising.

Hii! Thankyou for this video. I have severe dry eyes and I went to the doctor about a few months back, he said everything else was okay, he prescribed me eyedrops from my dry eyes, however I also see alot of Starbursts in my vision, as well as halos around lights, floaters, glares, which are some symptoms of glaucoma, the doctor said that I just have a cylindrical curvature in my eye which is one glaucoma related factor, but he said it's normal and might just be a genetic issue, the doctor said that he's 95% sure that i do not have glaucoma, I took high doses of vitamin d and vitamin d injections because of a bone related issue I had earlier. I'm always so stressed about my eyes :( because the dry eyes won't go away and the Starbursts just never improve. Did you go through any of these symptoms I have? I would really appreciate a response. Oh and also I'm 16.

Good info🎉

Please look into the Brooke Goldner diet its said to have reversed glaucoma in a lot of people. It’s not easy though. Eating mostly vegetables uncooked. Intense but very healthy way of life. May God /Allah protect you. ❤

HOPE YOU HAVE BETTER VISION. Glaucoma patientsBE AWARE OF PRESERVATIVE CALLED BLK PRESENT IN MOST GLAUCOMA DROPS CAN CAUSE SEVERE DRY EYE, PLEASE SWITCH TO PRESERVATIVE FREE DROPS.

Good advice thanks
