Secondary Glaucoma

Glaucoma as a result of eye surgery

Submitted by ZeldaC on Wed, 10/05/2011 - 5:28pm

Has anyone developed glaucoma after retinal or other eye surgery?  I had four surgeries in my L eye; two retinal, then two cataract (which resulted from the retinal surgeries!),  After all this, I developed glaucoma in the L eye only.  I had a vitrectomy and the surgeon placed silicone oil in my eye; later when he went to remove it, he wasn't able to get all of it.  It is suspected that it is the oil which is causing my elevated IOP.  My R eye pressure is normal.  I'd love to hear from anyone who's been through something like this.  Anyone?

This really is an inspiring story.

 “I look forward to learning more details about the many things you are doing that allopathic medicine generally doesn't credit ;) I'm also curious about what medications you are on... or are you not using any allopathic glaucoma medications?”

A Milestone in my glaucoma history.

I walked away from conventional treatment for my Secondary Closed Angle Glaucoma 9.5 years ago. It was a decision that took enormous personal courage as to do so flew in the face of  threats of dire consequences. That only one eye, the right, was at risk made my decision somewhat easier.  I was told that not only would I lose the vision I would lose the eye itself as the result of the pain subsequent to uncontrolled IOP increases.
