is there any other test besides that which indicates vision loss?i take lumigan once a night. for the past three years or so. I have only missed three times and let me tell youi remember those times how nice my eyes felt without the drops. no scratchy feeling, no tearing and especially very little red in my eyes. i almost felt that i looked normal. no one looking at my bloodshot eyes and commenting.
My daughter has been growing hair there on the caruncle and under her top eyelid for years. Her ophthalmologist removes them with tweezers. I thought it was due to her having eye surgery at age 3, but he said no, it’s just something that can happen.
I have pseudo-exfoliation in left eye. Started out on xalatan, then switched over to Lumigan when I was Glaucoma Suspect with ocular pressure 21-30. Under control low 20's on Lumigan, optic nerve healthy, no visual fields defects on test 5 months ago. However, last visit hemorrhage on optic nerve found and added Alpgagan P to Lumigan, did not do a thing after 6 weeks, pressure 24 today. Dr.
I have taken Lumigan for open Angle Glaucoma for a couple of years in one eye only. In April the ophthalmologist asked me to put them in both eyes. I have no problems with that and my IOP is well controlled. However, I noticed my PVC's have gone up considerably since taken the drops. At first with only one eye I had about 15,000 per day, now with drops in both eyes they have gone up to almost 30,000 per day. There where no other medication changes during that time.
( with out prescription.
hi am a trich sufferer. can i use normal lumigan eyedrops on my eyebrows,scalp and eyelashes? i dont have access to latisse.or is there any other medication that grows hair fast? can i use folligen? what are the adverse effects of using lumigan on eyes and eyebrows?
The makers of Lumigan recently started to market the very same drops under the name Latisse for eyelash growth. I understand that they also looked into using it as a treatment for baldness but its too expensive to cover a large area like the scalp.
I am very disappointed at postings that indicate people feel their surgeons are pressuring them to upgrade to a multifocal IOL.
While I think I can provide some useful advice, there is obviously no cure for your problem and no easy answers. First the use of Lumigan. I really dislike Lumigan and try and never use it in my practice. It is notorious for causing red, irritated, inflammed eyes, permanent dark circles around the eyes and atrophy of the fat in the sockets causing sunk in looking eyes and droopy eye lids.
I needed an updated Rx for my glaucoma eyedrops and he switched me from the brand name Lumigan to the generic latanoprost as I had hoped! He mentioned it might help reduce the eye redness that Lumigan can cause. Hopefully it will maintain a similar IOP in my right eye - it was measured as 16 yesterday.
The retinal specialist gave 2 very strong drops to reduce the IOP. Subsequent to using the drops he went for a check for IOP and it was 15. Three weeks after continuously using the drops on his next checkup the IOP was back at 27.
The retinal specialist seemed to be a loss. He is now recommending a glaucoma specialist. We are not sure what to do.
Azopt rare makes eyes red, lumigan is a failrly common cause of chronic red eyes. You might discuss stopping the lumigan for a week or two to see if that helps. If it does Travatan-Z is gentler on the eye and often better at lower IOP, also there is a new preservative free prostaglandin glaucoma eyedrop Zioptrin which might be helpful. I have a very large glaucoma practice and when patients have chronic red eyes and they are on alphagan P or Lumigan I suspect them as the cause first thing.
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.
My mother age is 55yrs and she is diabetic patient from last 15+ yrs.Currently she is taking drops for Glaucoma.But her pressure is around 22 & 26 right and left eye resp. Her diabetes is also about 225 post meal. My concern is, is it safe to go for the surgery. Dr.said its not going to be laser, they'll do surgery and put a filter to drain out the fluid it will take around 2-3 hrs for operation.
Even applying something like oil or petroleum jelly to lashes will help you to stop because it will make the lashes slippery and it will be more difficult for them to come out.
The good part of all of this is that your lashes will grow back.
You could consult the pediatrician if this persists.
Let us know if you need any other information.
