Many glaucoma patients complain of discomfort from using glaucoma eye drops. The discomfort can including stinging, itching, burning, or even a foreign body sensation (which can also feel like a scratch on the cornea in my experience).
I've never really heard anybody give an educated guess on when we may really have the ability to reverse the damage done by glaucoma.. Whether through stem cells or any other medical advancement ... can anybody reasonably predict a timetable on being able to repair the damaged nerves?
I'm especially interested in this because - at 55, and in good health otherwise - I have pretty bad glaucoma. I lost 90% of the vision in my right eye, and maybe 50% in my left before I even noticed any problems. I sure wish I'd been paying attention ...

Now that you know what they are offering, let me tell you the limitations before you read the whole press release.
Here are my GDx Nerve Fiber Analysis results from my eye exam today. The results are slightly better than my last GDx exam as well as my GDx exam from about two years ago. At this point I doubt we can say anything concrete about the significance of the positive change except that things are certainly not getting worse!
