Do your vision changes signal an eye disorder? Aug 17, 2023 | By Marie Suszynski, Writer (@mariemayohecs)Comment receiving replies
There is also sometimes a laser surgery for glaucoma now. Mine showed up as a result of high doses of prednisone. It's a miracle it was caught in time. I know that for some with open angle glaucoma (there are differing kinds) the surgery is an option. My insurance covered it, and it was "cured" for about 5 years. The even better part is that it can be done again, and again, if needed. Right now, first, eye doctors have to establish if it's getting worse, and what damages it may have done. Those tests take a bit of time and visits. There is hope.

My optic nerve was too thin for laser surgery, both my eyes progressed a great deal even with hve six different drops and I was allergic to tje preservative that used in a method to treat it so I was referred to a glaucoma specialist. A stent was put in my right eye and next Monday, I will get one for the left eyet. The pressures is much better now. I am on Medicate and have a secondary helath insurance from work that I retired from. They covered 100% together.
