WOW!!! I’m 43 and have had Open angle glaucoma since the age of 15. 28 years later I now know all the lingo my doctors talk. Unfortunately I’m really starting to see my Peripheral vision disappear. I actually take every eye drop you mentioned in your video. I’ve had the a couple surgeries as well to no avail. My tube shunt didn’t take or the other one you mentioned unfortunately. The bubble wouldn’t stay up. I’m assuming at some point I’ll be blind. Im very optimistic though and don’t really let if effort me in any negative way. Thanks for such a great video.
STAY STRONG 👍 There's a lot of research being done and I believe it's just a matter of time before science figures out how to regenerate damaged nerve tissue in most health issues. I have Glaucoma, too, and I I believe it will be cured ! GOD BLESS !
hi great work first of all. you miscommunicated the the formula of cup-disk relation. it is correct as follows; normally, optic cup < 0.5*optic disk. thankyou and keep up the work. i love your channel.
Yep. Glaucoma is not a joke. It is not funny when you are diagnosed with it. Just like diabetic retinopathy, or macular degeneration, if you do not treat it, glaucoma can lead to blindness, and once glaucoma-related blindness starts---this sight damage is always permanent!
dont know if this has been pointed out, but you mention one of the risk factors of acute glaucoma is Myopia - this is wrong. Its the exact opposite if im not mistaken :)
Cupping actually occurs due to loss of nerve fibres - less nerve fibres leaving at the cup therefore a greater CD ratio - like stems of flowers in a vase
I just found out I had this a few months ago. I went for an eye exam after 4 years because I really needed a new pair of glasses. They checked the pressure 4 different times because it was unusually high. It was sitting right at 21-24 each time. The doctor started me on Brimonidine drops right away and a low dose of that every day was enough to bring it down to 14-16. Luckily, they are now bringing me back for regular visual field tests and pressure checks, and so far everything is normal. It scared the shit out of me though. I don't want to go blind.
I had an eye doctor appointment today. My doc said the pressure was 30 in my eye. Won’t be a month for my appointment to check peripheral vision, he said most likely glaucoma and start eye drops. Huh should I get a second opinion? Sooner?
@@jenw7277 I guess it wouldn't hurt to get a second opinion, but that sure sounds like glaucoma if your pressure was that high. They will definitely want to do a visual field test too.
Wonderful tutorial. Great illustrations. Straight to the point. Concise, well laid out. This retired cardiac RN found this video a much easier-to-understand resource than many websites I visited in educating myself to understand my open-angle glaucoma
I was diagnosed with glaucoma last year when i was just 13 The pressure of my left eye is greater than my right eye. But the doctor said both of my eyes have glaucoma so she gave me drops to control the pressure of my eye I didn't understand any of her explanation so i decided to research glaucoma This vid helped a lot and glaucoma is quite scary-
I’ve had it since about the same age. I’m 43 now and I’ll tell you as a person who’s been dealing with it for 28 years to take care of your eyes. Always take your drops. I’ve over the past couple years started noticing my peripheral vision going away slowly. I’ve never been really 100% consistent consuming my medication. Make damn sure you do.
Thanks for the video two years ago I was diagnosed with glaucoma at the age of 27 I have nerve damage in my left eye 👀 an I missed my drops for a few weeks due to my drops being discontinued an the pressure in my left eye went to 28 while waiting to see my eye dr.
My eye dr says that I am at risk for glaucoma because the optic nerve is wider than it should be. I experience a bad headache then the next day horrible eye pain, so bad I want to rip my eye out and yeet it across the room. I am just getting over an episode of these things as I type. Yesterday was very bad. My right eye is affected and I am thinking about seeing my eye dr again just to check on it. I know you said that it's mostly asymptomatic and I am wondering if the pain I feel (this happens about once a month) is part of a pressure build-up. And yes, I have seen my dr about the headaches.
Namaste, I visited eye specialist in 2009 (fifteen years back) for cataract of my right eye. But after examining I was informed that besides cataract there was a retina detachment also in my right eye. Moreover small holes in retina of my left eye. As per guidance there were two operations. 1) first retina detachment by laser And then 2) cataract. 3) small tiny holes in left eye were patched with laser. Some 5 to 6 years back I was informed that glaucoma had been developed on same eye (right eye) I do not know the stage of glaucoma. Now A cataract has been developed on my left eye also. He informed me that a glaucoma has been also developed in left eye also. I am in trauma One eye is already nearer to gone and if any thing untoward happened to my left eye during cataract operation then... Moreover fear of presence of glaucoma in left eye. Does glaucoma curable ? Please advise. Thanks and regards.
Good but so many errors. 1st glaucoma doesnt have to be resistance to outflow; it can be increase aqueous production. There are lots of different ways to perform applanation tonometry, not just Goldmann. Optometrists have been treating POAG x 30yrs. No mention of SLT or MIGs during Phaco?? This video was outdated b4 it was released.
My eye doctor has diagnosed me as a "glaucoma suspect". Eye pressure normal but optic nerve cupping has begun. I refuse to do the visual fields test because it is too frustrating.
Namaste, I am diagnosed that my left has a issue of Cataract Tiny hole in retina Retina detachment Glaucoma Now like to have second expert opinion to give priority of issue in chronological order
Hello sir, im 22 year old I got hit ball in my eye and the doctor said the eye pressure is 30 and they give 2 drops (lotepred and Briminidini). Can it reduce my eye pressure, 😢im really scaring sir.
Hi, you seem to be pronouncing as ‘sympaNomimetics’, while it should be pronounced as ‘symapaTHomimetics’ which means drugs producing physiological effects characteristic of sympathetic nervous system. Otherwise you explained Glaucoma very well. Thank you.
Thank you very much for this explanation. In my case the pressure was initially measured at 45 up to 47 only in the left eye. It was really a surprise to me that this was substantially larger that what is considered an increased pressure, since I see that even 30 is considered high.
I love your videos! I’m not even close to a med student-you’re just good at explaining terms and conditions clearly. BUT in this one, you left out how the aqueous humour affects the vitreous humour. Do they connect somewhere? Are they just different names based on their locations? How can increasing pressure at the front of the eye increase the pressure at the back? Doesn’t the lens block them from affecting one another?
The 'cupping' term was mistakenly introduced in the 1850s. One hundred years later, instead of confirming the cupping theory, we introduced a cup-to-disc ratio parameter which inferred that the original (birth) cups begin enlarging as the disease progresses. However, the original cups of various sizes from 0.00 to 0.9 are actually the central meniscus of Kuhnt (fibrous remnants of Bergmeister’s papilla) which lie superficially on the nerve fiber layer of the disc, and have no relevance to glaucoma. The lamina cribrosa appears to be sinking in primary open-angle glaucoma resulting in the peripheral-to-central axotomy of nerve fibers at the scleral edge.
Quite an easy-to-understand video and explained perfectly....as for a very long time i had suffered from the same problem...i almost lost hope that i will get better but thank fully i got better.
I need help, i was diagnosed with glaucoma 2 years ago, so I have been using Combigan, and today 01/02/2023 I went to a different hospital and I was diagnosed with keratoconus .. my question is can someone get both glaucoma and keratoconus?
trabs are not the end, i have had 2 Baervelt shunts implanted at seperate times because the man made bleb (trab) failed and flattened, pressure is still high..
i have high myopia (-8.5&-9), my optic nerve look weird when to optom checked it, does these changes tend to stay still in myopia or it ươuld progress like glaucoma ?
Thank you very much for this impeccable video about open angle glaucoma. I'm suffering this problem. It will be very helpful for the patients & general people.
I gathered information, notes, ppt's but none of them work for me and at this moment I learnt it from you and all my doubts cleared off and the notes link in description also helped me. Thank you Zero to Finals!
Im 30 and I'm experiencing all the symptoms of glaucoma, at age 20 I was told by a doctor that im showing signs of glaucoma and a surgery would be needed. I needed a second opinion so I went to another eye clinic, where i was told that nothing was wrong with my eyes and all I needed was glasses. Fast forward to today; the same doctor that said I was fine is advising me to consult with an ophthalmologist since I did not pass my visual field test and the perssure within my eyes are higher than normal. Also my vision has decreased significantly over the last 18 months
That is unfortunate. I’ve been going to regular eye checkups most of my life with an ophthalmologist. I’ve done it just like getting a regular physical. Approximately 12 years ago my eye pressure started to creep up and my ophthalmologist wanted me to get checked every six months. My pressure at that time was 18-20. I did visual field tests and imaging of the optic nerve every year. I have ocular hypertension which places me in a greater risk of developing glaucoma. I take eye drops every night. One drop in each eye to regulate the pressure. It gives me great angst to read about people who have had treatments and they have not worked. I may be in this group in the future. Best wishes to everyone who is going through this.
These videos are brilliant. Thank you for all you're doing for the rising generation of physicians!

Would you mind discussing "dry eye syndrome."
Namaste,
I visited eye specialist in 2009 (fifteen years back) for cataract of my right eye.
But after examining I was informed that besides cataract there was a retina detachment also in my right eye. Moreover small holes in retina of my left eye.
As per guidance there were two operations.
1) first retina detachment by laser
And then
2) cataract.
3) small tiny holes in left eye were patched with laser.
Some 5 to 6 years back I was informed that glaucoma had been developed on same eye (right eye)
I do not know the stage of glaucoma.
Now A cataract has been developed on my left eye also.
He informed me that a glaucoma has been also developed in left eye also.
I am in trauma
One eye is already nearer to gone and if any thing untoward happened to my left eye during cataract operation then...
Moreover fear of presence of glaucoma in left eye.
Does glaucoma curable ?
Please advise.

Very much
I had the trabeculectomy , I have had laser and now my doctor wants me to do the Omni. I am taking Vyzulta so why do I now need another surgery??
amazing! In our slides it is only written what medications to use but not what their effect on the anatomy/physiology are. Thanks a lot for that!!
A really good explanation of open-angle glaucoma!
