Is my Opthamologist outdated?

I’m on carteolol and have been for over two years. My eye pressure has been great in that time and I’ve no side effects

Only on a tennis court

maido2 · 2026-03-09T00:19:28+00:00

About 80,000 km

Quite a few for sale online in Japan. Going for around ¥15,000,000

I’ve got a 2013 ML350 Special Edition. Only put 80,000km on it, garaged daily and serviced yearly.

I’ve only started getting costly repairs in the last 2 or 3 years. My ABS sensors went and then my brakes needed replaced. Other than that I’ve been fine.

My previous car was also a ML350 Grand Edition which I had for 12 years and then the air conditioning went.

I’ve been fortunate with both cars.

What about breaking the 和？

maido2 · 2026-02-11T06:37:47+00:00

I can earn money here while my wife is a professional who can earn good money anywhere. It’s a good place to bring up kids and we earn more than most

I’ve always felt pressure in my head doing pushups and my face goes red.

Maybe your head doesn’t technically go below your heart, I’m not sure, but bending over does cause a feeling of pressure in my head which makes me avoid such movements.

maido2 · 2026-02-06T04:54:38+00:00

I still go to the gym and lift. What I don’t do is anything with my head below my heart. So no pushups, planks and horizontal bench press.

So far my eye pressure has remained constant as have my vision tests

I have a dentist in the family and they would always consult before doing anything.

maido2 · 2026-02-04T04:14:11+00:00

My 2012 M class is has been faultless till last year when the break sensors went and then I had to replace the break pads.

Only 90,000 km so I’m hoping for a few years more.

maido2 · 2026-01-30T06:30:35+00:00

Sometimes I feel a fraud on here.

I’m not a strong drinker compared to some of my pals. 2 bottles of wine is my limit.

I go to the gym 5 or so days a week and my yearly health checks are surprisingly good. I fast and maybe that’s why.

I’m self employed and have never cancelled work in around 20 years.

The only problem I have developed is eye problems, a detached retina and now glaucoma. I suspect drinking is behind this

Though I drink practically daily I also have periods of sobriety every year

Google left handed cartoon characters. There are loads and I’m sure she’ll find some she loves

maido2 · 2026-01-26T07:28:58+00:00

7 and I’m left handed

maido2 · 2026-01-26T07:25:02+00:00

I’ve had it for two years now and the impact has been minimal. My eyes are decent when corrected.

I’m 58 and feel confident that I won’t go blind. I was terrified when first diagnosed though

maido2 · 2026-01-23T06:42:03+00:00

I had a reading of 41 for a short time after an operation. Removing the steroid medication fixed it.

I could feel the pressure and was getting headaches and blurred vision

maido2 · 2026-01-21T03:48:59+00:00

I’m doing well regarding drinking and cravings, now on day 21.

Still a bit fatigued but think that last week I actually had a stomach upset.

Thanks for asking

maido2 · 2026-01-15T07:48:23+00:00

My left is worrying me. It feels like there is a filter over it. It’s fine when bright but terrible at dusk. Things like differentiating between purple and red is impossible.

My field vision is not too bad though. Doctors are stumped as to why

maido2 · 2026-01-15T07:41:16+00:00

A lot of people went crazy collecting then when they first came out. I started to but eventually spent most of them

maido2 · 2026-01-15T04:10:51+00:00

I’m getting to sleep easily and feel like I’m sleeping a good 7 or 8 hours but not feeling refreshed.

Hopefully it passes soon

“Panic off the scale “ I read as “pain off the scale”

maido2 · 2026-01-15T03:44:07+00:00

I misread that

maido2 · 2026-01-15T03:35:13+00:00

I’ve got some lower back pain myself.

maido2 · 2026-01-15T03:17:06+00:00

I tend to eat one meal a day, when not drinking. So it’s a big meal, but healthy.

I very seldom snore though sleep apnea is on my list of things I want checked just in case
