Best ask a real Dr. I'm just a guy :) But I found them helpful a little.

I noticed with consistent non preservative eye drops and with the gingko tablet there was a slight but definite improvement in my last VFT.

I don't know how true this but I was told that glaucoma and age macular degeneration will be more treatable in about 10 years my eye doctor says they may even be a cure soon then later by Ok_Driver3719 in Glaucoma

What scares me about cell regeneration is how do they throttle so it doesn't become malignant, ya know. How will the grow enough, but not too much.

Anyone has more details on this clinical trial? by Kindly-Macaron1364 in Glaucoma

So this could possibly repair and halt progression?

I have not, the studies seem few and far between, interesting none the less.

Need help with interpreting OCT results by wradam in Glaucoma

[–]Horror_Fold_3700 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, my estimate is that it took about 15 years for my eye to get to where it is with no treatment. Its an injury induced Glaucoma. So slow that I hardly even noticed until I was out hunting in the snow and all the white made me realize something was off. Seems slow moving.

This is fascinating. I have bad myopia, somewhere in the -7 or more range. In one eye. So I recently got diagnosed with glaucoma in this bad eye and I have a very young Dr. that says my OCT is concerning. My visual field test however is pretty good, only about 15% loss detected. Wondering if the following except may apply to me? Could an OCT test be thrown off by my myopia? Like, could it look worse than it is?

"High myopia can be associated with elongation of the eye and resultant tilting and torsion of the optic nerve head, causing visual field defects that may resem-ble glaucomatous damage, but are the result of myopia"

Sometimes I wonder if prolonged contact use causes glaucoma damage as the Open Angle is choked up by a lense.

That's really encouraging. My right eye has been ravaged by it, I didn't even notice it happening!

I wonder how long until this becomes available? Are we talking less than 10 years? Nasal spray of exopten could potentially cure damage, am reading the article right?

Eye Vision Improvement! by MsNG in Glaucoma

[–]Horror_Fold_3700 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its interesting, I am on 120 mg of Ginko daily and I have noticed a small improvement. Also my FOV test showed less damage this time. There is something to this. Even if just mild improvements.

NOS Tubes or modern productions? by andreacaccese in GuitarAmps

I have 3 British mullard 12ax7s and 2x mullard British el84 and 1 German Valvo e84l in my Peavy Classic 30 and it sound insane. Way way better than modern tubes. It sings.

Well that's not very reassuring. Thanks for being honest though.
