While waiting for my accountant (my wife) to finish our schedule C so that we can figure out how we are going to pay for the Tonometer I decided to talk to my mom about her glaucoma. As it turns out her glaucoma started when my second sister was born. My mom was 30 at the time. She was using various eye drops for the next 35 years with little or no eye damage. Then her vision started to deteriorate until finally she went totally blind 10 years later. 2 years ago she had a Pituitary Adenoma removed. It was very large and reached to her optic chiasma. There is sufficient evidence to think that the adenoma may have crushed her optic nerve at the optic chisma. So the good news is that the eye drops work, and will work for years. It is also possible to pose a theory that the glaucoma started because there was a nutritional or flow deficiency during/ after the birthing process. Since my mother eats relatively well and is a very sedentary person I am leaning toward flow issues. My mother and I have very similar congenital issues. The big difference is I eat significantly more fruits and vegetables than her. I also ride a mountain bike at least 6 times per week. When I ride my sinuses clear, my heart beats a lot faster, and by whole body feels cleansed. I have been under a tremendous amount of stress for the past 5 years hopefully that is what broke my system. If it did it may be reversible.
