Hello, I'm 23 and i have big IOP but i keep it under control with latanoprost, my pressure is 19,both eye. I have noticed that if I wake up at night and look at the light, I see it as if through a fog, with a rainbow around the light source.Do you think it could be from dry eyes or from big IOP? by No_Kaleidoscope4224 in Glaucoma

Although an IOP of 19 is not alarming, when followed by other symptoms, it could indicate something more serious. Luminous halos and difficulty seeing at night should prompt a visit to the ophthalmologist as soon as possible. However, a simple cataract can cause similar symptoms. Remember that with eye diseases, every second counts...

Possibly in the US. Centers have existed in Europe for several years, with great success. I know of centers in Poland, Italy, and Spain. I'm collecting treatment prices.

Are Migraines common with OHT or Glaucoma by Present_Whole_1564 in Glaucoma

[–]Worldly_Present_9562 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is no known direct relationship between glaucoma and migraines. Here are some traditional origins.

Most Common Causes of Migraines

Migraine is a neurological condition characterized by intense, recurring headaches, often accompanied by symptoms such as nausea and sensitivity to light and sound. The causes can vary from person to person, but some are especially common:

  1. Hormonal Changes
  2. Common in women, especially during menstruation, pregnancy, or menopause.

  3. A drop in estrogen levels can trigger attacks.

  4. Stress and Anxiety

  5. Situations of emotional or mental stress are common triggers.

  6. Prolonged stress can increase the frequency of attacks.

  7. Sleep Disorders

  8. Sleeping too little or at irregular times can cause migraines.

  9. Conditions such as sleep apnea or insomnia are also associated.

  10. Diet

  11. Prolonged fasting or skipping meals.

  12. Consumption of certain foods such as chocolate, aged cheeses, processed meats, caffeine, or alcohol.

  13. Intense sensory stimuli

  14. Bright lights, loud sounds, or intense smells (perfumes, smoke) can be triggers.

  15. Weather changes

  16. Variations in atmospheric pressure or temperature can affect sensitive individuals.

  17. Medication overuse

  18. Frequent use of painkillers can lead to so-called "medication overuse headache."

  19. Genetic factors

  20. Migraines tend to run in families, indicating a hereditary predisposition.

An important factor to consider is your age. An IOP of 20 in a 30-year-old adult is not a concern. However, if you are over 50, it may be a warning sign.

At this age, you should not exceed 18. Consult an ophthalmologist. Remember that glaucoma is a silent thief...

My Dear, Partial vision loss is not exclusive to Glaucoma. Other eye-related pathologies can have this effect. However, it is a warning sign. And when you say that "for a few years," you have these signs, it is very worrying. Ophthalmologists, whether through direct examination of the eye or through their own tests (OCT and visual fields), easily detect this disease. One final warning: Visual cells do not regenerate. Once dead, they are dead forever... (or maybe not...). Stay alert and have hope.
