zyrtec glaucoma

See an ophthalmologist for a complete eye exam to look for problems like dry eyes, cataracts, glaucoma and possible farsightedness and presbyopia. You might need glasses. Also you may be having some blurred vision due to medications side effects which are very, very common. Sorry, I don't have any magic answers but I am just trying to lead you in the right direction.

has zyrtec been banned,i cant find it anywhere,if it has been banned then wot was the reason?

Juvenile open angle glaucoma is a form of open angle glaucoma which occurs in young adults. It is treatable, but frequently requires surgery, as it may be quite resistant to eye drop therapy to lower the eye pressure. There often is a genetic component to this form of glaucoma.

I got the ok on zyrtec during pregnancy from my allergist, OB, and pharmacist. I am positive that zyrtec is ok.

I suggest you to take some antihistaminic like Benadryl or Zyrtec after consulting your doctor and use some boric acid or antihistaminic eye drops. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. Treatment can be started only when the diagnosis is confirmed. I sincerely hope that helps.

The general incidence of glaucoma in the general populations with special risk factors that live a normal life span is 2% among high myopes (and your are barely hi myope and at age 18 very unlikely you will get beyound -7.00) the risk may be double, which sounds bad, but that is only 4% so most high myopes don't get glaucoma. Glaucoma is harder to diagnose because of 2 reasons: 1. The cup/disc ratio is larger in myopes 2. the cornea is generally thinner .

I took zyrtec around 8:00 PM and my allergies are really bad so i wanted to know if it is safe to take Allegra now

Do any of you lady's take zyrtec for allergies? I don't like taking anything period but my allergies are sever. I claritan with my son but I feel like zyrtec works better. I was told its just as safe but figured I'd see what you lady's take.

), but I never have had any problem with taking a normal dose of Zyrtec...if I go ahead and take a Zyrtec, and it turns out that I did already take one, would it do any harm?

You should see a glaucoma specialist (ophthalmologist with fellowship training in glaucoma) for a full glaucoma evaluation to make sure you do not have the early signs of glaucoma. He/she could check you for narrow angle glaucoma (gonioscopy), pigment dispersion, pseudo-exfoliation, etc. as these are causes of glaucoma frequently missed by non-specialists and they could also perform an optic nerve OCT exam which will demonstrate whether there is any early damage from glaucoma.

I think it very important that you get a second opinion from a glaucoma specialist that you have glaucoma. If you do the preferred treatment is likely NOT drops but SLT or ALT laser. As often as 70% of the time that controls glaucoma and drops are not needed only careful follow up. Exercises will not help glaucoma, using your eyes does not cause glaucoma. If there is a medical school in Costa Rica that might work.

My guess is that glaucoma cannot be easily detected. Yes, there maybe idications of glaucoma if a patient has an elevated IOP and c/d ratio. However, the cause of those things may not be glaucoma. Although, the first possible cause on the list may be glaucoma, it may not be the correct diagnosis, which is why the other tests are called for. But this is all just a guess since I'm not a doctor. Why not just ask your ophthalmologist?

I was told to take zyrtec. Now I have a rash on my upper thighs. Is it the generic zyrtec? Would the regular Zyrtec do the same? Have you ever heard of Diamox being prescribed for Meneire's disease? I find nothing in the literature about it and am hesitant to take it as it makes me very tired. I need to sleep about 3 hours a day when I take it. I don't want to experience vertigo again.

Glaucoma does not cause myopia but a developing cataract often causes increasing levels of myopia. Your glaucoma seems fairly mild so you should have no problem with cataract surgery. People with glaucoma have cataract surgery all the time. I did 2 patients much like you today. Now if glaucoma is severe and uncontolled on 2 or 3 meds, them sometimes a glaucoma filtering surgrey is combined with the cataract surgery - but that is not your case.

My father was diagnosed with glaucoma roughly 5-6 years ago. The glaucoma was quite rapid, and is uncurable. The best doctors can do is slow down the process of him losing his sight. He has been in hospital on countless occasions, and has had many serious operations. I've heard Glaucoma is genetic. Being the anxious individual i am, i am somewhat cautious as to whether or not i will be affected by Glaucoma. As of what is known at the present time, no other family members have had Glaucoma.

1. glaucoma can be difficult to diagnose and often requires special tests. So yes you could have glaucoma and not show up with retina exam 2. THere are other causes of halos than glaucoma. I suggest you get your general care from a comprehensive general ophthalmologist instead of an optometrist. Find one near you at www.aao.

Yes, mild, I have a glaucoma dr. I have been doing some reading on cataracts, glaucoma, etc. I get a newsletter from the glaucoma foundation that has articles about treatment trends.

There are 4 types of glaucoma medications for glaucoma that work by different mechanisms. So maximum glaucoma therapy would be being on all 4 types. Note this is not 4 brands but 4 types: 1. prostaglandin analogue 2. carbonic anhydrase inhibitor 3. beta blocker 4. alpha adrenergic receptor agonist Your father would need to be on all 4 types for maximum therapy.

No it is not true with glaucoma. Glaucoma is not one disease but a group of perhaps 15 different types of pressure problems. Most people never go blind the most common type of glaucoma does its damange over decades, however angle closure glaucoma can blind an eye in less than 24 hours.

Yes, there are ophtalmologists who specialize in glaucoma. You might either ask your regular ophthalmologist for a reference or find a glaucoma specialist at www.aao.org.

I'm going to follow this post with a previous one about glaucoma but first I want to address you situation. It is far more likely you DON"T have glaucoma than you do have it. MOST IMPORTANT: be sure the 'eye doctor' you saw was an Eye MD ophthalmologist. They have the best training and skill to make the diagnosis. If you saw a non-MD non-physician optometrist then go to see an Eye MD. You can ask your family MD for a referral.

As long as its the common type of open angle glaucoma anything she wants the warning about glaucoma is only for the rare angle closure glaucoma that has not had a laser iridectomy.

This is a condition I appear to be suffering, altho the retina specialist is not convinced the central vision damage is glaucoma. My other eye doctor, the glaucoma specialist, says the central vision damage might be due to the glaucoma. My question-How common is it for glaucoma to attack the central vision first?
