Current Style: Standard
I returned to my ophthalmologist just after the holidays. He prescribed homeopathic phosphorus and some energized water.
This eye exam was performed at an elevation of about 8000 feet using Goldman tonometry. At 8000 feet elevation, normal intraocular pressures are about 21, I'm told.
My IOP values are:
Left 19; Right 17
I'm not completely sure, but it seems like the downward trend in my IOP is continuing. This is also the first time my right IOP has been lower than the left. I'm also on vacation, and that might have something to do with the IOP values.
Upon today's visit to my ophthalmologist, my IOP values were:
Left 18; Right 18
Wow! My IOP has decreased each and every visit to my ophthalmologist. This is a good trend.
My ophthalmologist checked my IOP today with his Goldman tonometer. The results were:
Left 20; Right 20
I have been using Xalatan for two weeks. Today I returned for a follow-up visit with my primary ophthalmologist. At the last visit, my IOP values were:
Left 34; Right 48
Today's IOP values (using Goldman Tonometry) were:
Left 21; Right 22
I also received a diagnosis:
Pigmentary glaucoma (noted Krukenberg's spindle); scotoma (an area of decreased or loss of vision).
Today I went to my newly selected ophthalmologist. He used his Goldman applanation tonometer to measure my IOP. Here is what he found:
Left 34; Right 48
Just to be clear what I mean by that, my left eye IOP is 34mm Hg and right eye IOP is 48 mm Hg.
