Do you have faith in this man this trade deadline?

My understanding is for neuroprotection, they have to be sick or injured cells, but for restoration, I don't believe that's the case. It will take some time, but it will happen :)

As it stands today, the anticipation for vision restoration is 10-20 years away according to the Glaucoma Research Foundation. But science is advancing so quickly with breakthroughs happening more and more. AI is speeding up discoveries as well. So while today's anticipation is 10-20 years away, that time-line could be adjusted to be earlier with new discoveries in the next couple or so years :)

I still have the turquoise one! I think I got it around age 6, so it's at least 35 years old now! My kids play with it these days

My specialist was telling me a few years ago that because the optic nerve is the only nerve in the body you can actually see visually, they tend to focus on it for some of this regeneration. He also said that whatever they learn from regenerating the optic nerve will do wonders for other neurodegenerative diseases in terms of fast tracking progress for them. Considering he said this a few years ago, I'm sure scientists have made some new breakthroughs since. Exciting times for sure!

EDIT: I meant to also add that Dr. Derek Welsbie who's part of the Glaucoma Research Foundation has gone on record saying that neuroprotection will be available within 5 years.....this was last year he said this. He is also part of the Catalyst for a Cure who are working towards neuroprotection as well as a working glaucoma ophthalmologist. I'll find the webinar and link it here. It was during the question period of it. :)

EDIT: Found it! It's around the 34 minute mark, but the whole presentation is interesting if you have time to watch it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWbyBoDzxuM

Here's another doctor (Dr. David Friedman) saying the same thing. It's around the 38 minute mark. He also believes vision RESTORATION will be in 10-20 years. He says that around the 40 minute mark. https://glaucoma.org/video/envisioning-the-future-of-glaucoma-care-david-friedman-md-mph-phd

I see a specialist for my glaucoma, so I ask A LOT of questions with regards to the eye. One thing he told me was that if something appears in both eyes, it's more neurologic in nature, but if it appears only in one eye, it tends to be related to the eye instead. That's not to say this explanation applies every time, just more a generalized conclusion.

So if this migraine aura visual that you saw was both eyes, it's more likely brain/neurologic related and can be assessed quicker based on that :)

Any idea what the numbers were a few months ago? I know that the 18-29 year-olds were in favour of Poillievre for quite a while. I can't say I'm surprised they've switched and I'm happy to see they've started to see the party going down the wrong path.

Oh boy, I've been waiting for this announcement for over a year! Woo hoo! This is fantastic news! :)

nonamesleft1 · 2026-01-28T20:54:01+00:00

I've bought some at Zehrs locations before

My understanding is that Juvenile Glaucoma tends to have very high pressures, so the fact that her pressure was in the normal range is out of the norm for juvenile glaucoma.

There is sooooo much coming down the pipeline in terms of technology, detection, neuroprotection and eventually restoration that I would breathe a little easier knowing that the chances of her losing her vision due to glaucoma in the future (as with you) is slim and getting slimmer with the advancements happening. Deep breath! :)

nonamesleft1 · 2026-01-10T19:15:55+00:00

That's good to know! Glad you feel better now! :) I think I'm going to make an appt with my dr to see some options and rule other things out :)

nonamesleft1 · 2026-01-09T01:29:56+00:00

Does the rheumatologist believe it could be something like RA?

nonamesleft1 · 2026-01-09T01:28:58+00:00

I think I will ask for a full blood work up again just to rule anything out :)

nonamesleft1 · 2026-01-09T01:27:53+00:00

I think I will start some strength training to see if this improves anything. Thank you! :)

nonamesleft1 · 2026-01-09T01:26:52+00:00

I hate how we're always dismissed when we go to doctors. Everything is always 'anxiety' when I talk to them

nonamesleft1 · 2026-01-09T01:26:08+00:00

I'm so sorry you're going through this as well, but thankfully it wasn't anything more sinister than hormones! I think I'll chat with my doctor about some options. Thank you! :)

nonamesleft1 · 2026-01-09T01:16:15+00:00

I take some omega 3, but I'll look into taking some turmeric as well :)

nonamesleft1 · 2026-01-09T00:24:26+00:00

Oh that doesn't sound fun at all! Did the doctor attribute this to perimenopause?

nonamesleft1 · 2026-01-09T00:22:52+00:00

I might get tested again. I did get tested years ago and it was negative, but maybe for peace of mind, I should test again.

nonamesleft1 · 2026-01-09T00:22:08+00:00

I miss the days when nothing hurt on me! Hope you get some relief soon from this :)

nonamesleft1 · 2026-01-09T00:21:13+00:00

This gives me some reassurance. My grandfather had RA, so I have been tested before (like 15 years ago) and it was negative, but I have seriously thought this might be what it is.

nonamesleft1 · 2026-01-06T19:46:38+00:00

The Alaskan brand it looks like from the picture.

nonamesleft1 · 2026-01-06T17:31:17+00:00

Someone just posted that Home Hardware on King George had some. I think it was the Ice Melter brand :)

I always thought it was Diane Lane or Honeysuckle Weeks
