- So if you ask people, “what is lost with glaucoma?” many will tell you peripheral vision. And although that's true, that's far from complete. Both peripheral and central vision can be lost, and are lost, in more advanced forms of glaucoma but there's something else that is misunderstood and that is the idea that early on with glaucoma, there are essentially no symptoms. And this is just not the case.
Many of my patients with all stages of glaucoma will report to me the difficulty in seeing after initially moving from bright lights to dark lights...

you hit the nail on the head with this video in fact that is the exact reason I gave up driving at night.
same here
Thank you. For about 10 years I've had a problem with bright lights and driving at night. Now I'm starting to show signs of glaucoma.
Thank you very much Dr. Richardson for all of your excellent videos. You are an exceptional teacher.
Thank you SO much for this. I have always wondered what else I could do holistically to help prevent the progression of my glaucoma. I cannot thank you enough. Also, I like that these were broken up into short videos based on subject. Sincerely wishing you all the best, Kathy from North Carolina
Thanks for the video, please ask the transcription writers to add the appropriate citation to the Murray study you reference for macular degeneration
Thank you for the information. I have had glaucoma for over 20 years and the sensitivity to light is increasing. I’m going to follow your advice. Edith Lindemann
Excellent educational videos.
thank you.
Thanks for the info. My early stage glaucoma seems to cause my eyes act up in bright florescent lighting like in big stores.
Thank you Dr Richardson.
Love your videos regarding Gluacoma great info thank you so much
you are a life saver, a gift from God, thank you
Thank you so much 😊
Love this. So TRUE!
Please continue these vedios
Thank you for this episode, Dr Richardson. My personal experience at the moment is that I find driving at night very glaring these days whenever I passed an oncoming vehicle with the newer LED headlights. No doubt these LED lights may be beneficial to the owners of the vehicles as they can see further and clearer (than those with halogen bulbs) but to other drivers, they can be potential hazards. I am not sure if people with normal vision (without glaucoma) find the LED headlights disturbing?
Agreed. New bright LED headlights are piercing and painful to look at. The old dim yellow lights seem fine.
so true I can not stand the new LED headlights.
Yes, the LED and halogen headlights can be bothersome to anyone but tend to be even more of an issue for those with cataracts and/or glaucoma.
I am keeping my glaucoma at bay! Here's how: I take 6-7 chlorella pills every single day, and I use an infrared heat lamp on my CLOSED eyes at 5" for 5 minutes, am & pm.

Looking at my iPhone 4 a while creates temp. blurred vision 4 a while. What do u say?
Ha! I thought you edited the vid for the light and dark effect...it was apropos! I thank you so much for this and am going to bust out the lutein....any thoughts on rutin? I find when I take it regularly my IOP drops...
Rutin combined with Coleus may have an IOP lowering benefit. I've written about that here: new-glaucoma-treatments.com/rutin-may-have-a-role-in-the-treatment-of-glaucoma/

Please give us your opinion on Ginkgo Biloba which seem to help blood flow.

I have lost my vision in my right eye
Is vision recovery possible after gloucoma operation..?
@@lombodia ??
First of all, thank you, thank you, thank you for your videos. I was just diagnosed with glaucoma, so your videos are a godsend. Dr. Can please give advise on weight lifting and aerobic exercises when dealing with glaucoma? I love to lift weights and aerobics exercises but I’m not sure how exercising could affect my condition. Again, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
Estevan.

@@suncrystalLove explain me about the lamp please.... Why do you do that... I'm. New in this
@@platypus.9567 I have the Amazon light in the bottom part of this lamp I got from Walmart www.walmart.com/ip/Mainstays-72-Combo-Floor-Lamp-with-Adjustable-Reading-Lamp-Silver/12173433 I keep it next to the bed. I now do 3 minutes in the morning and 2 minutes at night. I sit on the edge of the bed and swing the light towards me with my eyes closed. I put it close to my closed eyes and count out the minutes. I also now take spirulina instead of chlorella. (Not so many pills are needed.) www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HCBN674/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 That's it! It's like magic. Frequency healing is amazing!
Is your clinic in the car.
LOL! During the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic I actually looked into converting a large van into a mobile exam room. Glad the worst of that is over.
Love your info. Hate that driving gimmick. Just teach while you sit. 😌
Grow pot marigold plants, the supplements are made from marigold petals so why not take them at source!
No office? 🤣how can you Concentrate driving and recording not a good idea
I don’t understand why you chose to drive and talk about this! A lot of us are rearing losing our driving due to glaucoma!
I find this pretty insensitive Doctor! Not trying to hurt your feelings, but seriously?
Hello Victoria. My apologies if I have offended. As I mentioned in my earlier videos I simply do not have the time to record these videos at any other time of my busy clinical day, so I had the choice of recording them on my commute or not at all. My sense has been that the information I've shared has been of value to others and in a format that is not readily available. I am hopeful that the balance of this effort is positive as my intentions are to benefit others and in no way did I mean to appear insensitive to the limitations many with glaucoma face in their day to day activities.
If you keep making distracted driving videos, besides being a doctor, you will need an emergency room doctor - distracted driving kills people Dave.
