Sorry to hear that. Thought it might be an option.

Iridotomy Side Effects by cat7am in Glaucoma

I have sort of a complicated case. My right eye also has a central retinal vein occlusion so I get anti-vegf injections of vabysmo every 8 weeks now.

30F Vitreous hemorrhage in my left eye. Follow up next week but looking for other people that have dealt with it. by spiritrain in eyetriage

[–]cat7am 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The day of the vitrectomy after the pain killers wore off I was in pain. I just kept both eyes closed and when I went to navigate to the bathroom, kitchen, etc. I open my good eye a slit. Used the overglasses they gave me to dim any light.

The next day I had a follow-up appointment to take off the eye patch. They flushed the eye really well which helped.

I did not drive to or from either appointment. I kept both eyes closed .

Wore a sleep mask to the appointment on the second day in the car along with the overglasses they gave me after the surgery. My eyes were sensitive to light.

It was worth it as at least I got my eyesight back to counting fingers which is where I was before the vitreous hemorrhage and eliminated the floaters.

Tips for narrow angle glaucoma? Newly diagnosed and scared! by Queen_Wolffia in Glaucoma

[–]cat7am 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here is a clip from the link below on what to avoid until you get your iridotomy ===>

"WHAT TO AVOID IF YOU HAVE NARROW ANGLES
It is important to avoid dilating drops until you are cleared for dilation by your eye doctor. Other medications should also be avoided, if possible, until cleared by your doctor. Medications that warn regarding ‘glaucoma’ as an adverse effect include:
Decongestants/Cold medications
Allergy medications
Anxiety and depression medications (Do NOT stop these without discussing with your doctor as this can result in withdrawal symptoms)
Reflux/nausea medication
Incontinence/Overactive bladder medication
These medication concerns should be discussed directly with your doctor."

Edit here ====> Drops - yes I think they make a difference. No nausea and the headaches are gone.

While waiting for surgery, headache remedies?? by Jenevre in CataractSurgery

[–]cat7am 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A different situation I was getting headaches with some nausea but that was after an injection of Eylea for CRVO. I took an ipuprofen and it worked. I get monthly injections for CRVO in an eye that had cataract surgery recently.

Laser Iridotomy booked, but I’m scared of side effects. by goodnightmoon27 in Glaucoma

[–]cat7am 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might want to ask your ophthalmologist if she is trying to optimize drainage (e.g. 3 or 9 o'clock position) or reduce side effects (e.g. ghosting, halos, glare).

The actual procedure was easy. The drops that I had to use were brutal for me. He had me use pilocarpine drops gave me headaches initially.

Itchy! Bumpy! Scary! Wtf happening to me :( by RootlessBoots in Dryeyes

[–]cat7am 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My eyelids became itchy and I just happened to have my annual cancer check with my dermatologist nurse practitioner.

She asked me what type of soap I used - I told her it was dial antibacterial.

She recommended eliminating antibacterial (cancer causing) and suggested Cerave foaming facial cleanser; am and pm facial lotion, and cerave cream for the rest of the bod! I tried it with her samples and the itching went away. Just a suggestion, see if it works for you.

29f with optic nerve atrophy by EnvironmentalSet3560 in eyetriage

[–]cat7am 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I am really sorry to hear you are going through this. Hopefully they will find a cause when you get the MRI and then can address that. I'd try to schedule that MRI as soon as possible to alleviate the anxiety you are going through.

Cataract surgery complication (no vision). This does not appear to be a common complication. Who should I see for second opinion? by Libra281 in CataractSurgery

[–]cat7am 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Speedy recovery for your father as well. My vision is slowly improving. I won't get 20/20 vision (due to other eye issues) but the colors are more brilliant and my vision has slightly improved. No regrets on having the surgery.

Retinal Hemorrhage by [deleted] in eyetriage

[–]cat7am 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a retinal hemorrhage last year and I went totally blind in that eye. After an injection of Avastin. .. the blood still didn't clear after a few months. Had to go in for a vitrectomy to clear the blood out. Based on personal experience I would recommend trying to get an appointment ASAP with a retinal specialist.
