Glaucoma - A Silent Thief of Sight

Glaucoma, often referred to as the "silent thief of sight," is a group of eye diseases that gradually damage the optic nerve, which is responsible for transmitting visual signals from the eye to the brain. The most common type of glaucoma is primary open-angle glaucoma, but there are other types as well, including angle-closure glaucoma, normal-tension glaucoma, and congenital glaucoma.

Glaucoma usually develops slowly and painlessly, and its early symptoms are often subtle or absent. This is why it is often called the "silent" thief of sight, as it can progress unnoticed until significant vision loss has occurred. Without proper treatment, glaucoma can lead to irreversible blindness, making early detection and intervention crucial.

Symptoms and Risk Factors of Glaucoma

Symptoms of glaucoma can vary depending on the type and stage of the disease. However, some common symptoms of glaucoma may include:

Gradual loss of peripheral vision

Blurred vision

Halos around lights

Eye pain or discomfort

Redness in the eye

Nausea or vomiting (in cases of acute angle-closure glaucoma)

It's important to note that glaucoma often does not cause noticeable symptoms until it has reached an advanced stage. Therefore, regular eye exams, especially for individuals with risk factors, are crucial for early detection.

Glaucoma Eye Treatment in Bharti Eye Foundation

At Bharti Eye Foundation, the experienced team of ophthalmologists offers a comprehensive range of treatment options for glaucoma, tailored to the individual needs of each patient. The goal of glaucoma treatment is to lower the intraocular pressure to prevent further damage to the optic nerve and preserve vision. The treatment options may include:

Eye Drops: Prescription eye drops are often the first line of treatment for glaucoma. These eye drops work by reducing the production of aqueous humor (the fluid inside the eye) or increasing its drainage, thus lowering the intraocular pressure. It's important to use eye drops as prescribed and follow the recommended dosing schedule to ensure their effectiveness.

Oral Medications: In some cases, oral medications may be prescribed to lower intraocular pressure. These medications work by reducing the production of aqueous humor or increasing its drainage, similar to eye drops.

Laser Therapy: Bharti Eye Foundation offers advanced laser therapy options for glaucoma treatment, including Trabeculoplasty and Iridotomy. Trabeculoplasty involves using a laser to open up the drainage channels in the eye to improve the outflow of aqueous humor, while Iridotomy involves creating a small hole in the iris to improve the drainage of fluid.

On Jōnouchi's ADHD (1.39k words)

This headcanon is probably the longest on this blog; it's some compiled thoughts on how growing up with (undiagnosed) ADHD has affected Jōnouchi. It's halfway between headcanon and fanfiction piece, and was requested by @bloodyscott, whom I kept waiting for too long for a response. I apologise sincerely for the delay.

This headcanon begins below the cut, as it's obscenely long. You may find it more comfortable to read this from the blog page, or on Archive of Our Own (NOTE: tumblr is acting strange. To access the page, copy the link and manually remove the href.li portion and the second https), rather than on your dashboard/search, in terms of formatting and such.

From infancy, Jōnouchi wailed his way out of his crib, out of his room, out of his house—as a baby, he thrashed towards whatever freedom he could find. He loathed the four walls of the crib; he'd scarce room to move. A skin infection brought him, aged 4, to hospital, and the very sight of overrun grey plastic seats and skinny cubicles exhausted him more than his illness had ever threatened to.

In primary school, others’ desks would blend together in a whir. Here he was, stuck, dizzyingly sedentary—the longer he sat, the foggier the world seemed to grow. When he kicked and whined at other children throughout electric lunch breaks, and they shrank from his vitality, he learned to eat alone. As his peers trudged from class in packs, watching the pavement, he sat, sullen, as his father drove him home. Somehow, Katsuhiro had never trusted him not to lose himself in chasing his surrounds. The fabric of the car seat would bite into his shorts, and he’d squirm for the window, squealing towards the noise outside: Birds that cawed; scraps of paper that fluttered and choked on smog. That was a fragile era, when his mother still waited, with dry hands and chipped nails, at home. When his father already stank of beer, but still spoke loudly, deeply, boisterously. Again and again, Jōnouchi’s mother would sit her son down, and write his name, stroke by agonising stroke. She’d recite each mora in time with each character. Yet sound would cluster through his head, and his own name would dissolve amid his mother’s instructions, amid the blaze of sunlight trapped on the windowsill behind her. He would write, and the strokes would come out rushed, mis-ordered, lopsided. 

Iro wa nioedo 

chirinuru wo.

At 10, his father grew quiet, and his mother yet quieter. Silence took up like a plague in Jōnouchi’s head, and swarmed in shapeless formation throughout parched mathematics lessons. Times tables hurled themselves headlong into a skull full of fog, and burst on contact. Are you listening? a teacher asked. How could he listen with a head full of noise, of unspoken words billowing back and forth? He gripped his seat, and glared back. Why should I care, anyway?

When his mother left, his father stopped caring to chaperone him. It had taken Jōnouchi a decade to earn the right to shed his infancy. He resented that it had been this long, so tried to join the huddle of middle schoolers. He told odd stories, and took off, queasy, in front of them. They withdrew their smiles when he approached on the second day. He growled his plaint, and resentment drove him to take the opposite route. He explored back alleys, wallflower convenience stores and dilapidated cinemas; the faster he walked, the more clearly he could see each brick, and the brighter each fleck in the pavement glinted. At speed, he delayed the journey home, and set his eyes on a gorgeous early winter sunset. The colours bellowed, too bold for winter, ungainly and vain. They were glorious.

Jōnouchi came home late. His father glared; fog crashed back down on his shoulders. 

Wa ga yo tare zo 

tsune naran?

A week before she cleared out too few of Katsuhiro’s belongings and packed too few suitcases, Jōnouchi’s mother drove both children two miles to the optometrist. My son, she explained, reads slowly, yet resents reading; it seems he can’t see very well. My daughter’s sight seems clearer, yet she complains of pain. The optometrist forced Jōnouchi to read down a chart of letters; he fidgeted, and, consumed in memories of a lonely lunch break the day prior, passed with flying colours. When the optometrist flashed a light to photograph his eyes, whatever hideous miracle that was, Jōnouchi screamed.

Katsuya Jōnouchi, the optometrist surmised, had perfect acuity of sight. He sought attention, stimulation. Meanwhile, Shizuka Jōnouchi, who had sat entirely still throughout her examination, had more ragged, derelict peripheral vision than her family had anticipated. Untreated, both your children will get much worse.

And in the months after Shizuka Jōnouchi became Shizuka Kawai and Mrs. Jōnouchi became That Bitch Who Never Cared, Katsuya Jōnouchi became horribly aware of how little time he had to be lethargic. He had to survive this schism; yet as he was, he barely felt capable of thinking. He walked, fidgeted, paced to prove to himself that he was a moving, breathing organism. Yet his father’s frustration would brook no exuberance. Long before Katsuhiro fully committed to flinging glass and spurning his son’s misery, Jōnouchi began learning to move silently, slowly, around his father. He memorised which mats snapped and snagged, which bits of fabric hissed when stepped on. He noted which windows opened most quietly. And yet he never managed a perfect, quiet exit. He couldn’t help but be conspicuous; he could only hope to get out too quickly for his father to react. And, to lift the torpor that followed escape, he would run to school, and, after, run back. Never did the sun shine brighter than when he was moving.

Uwi no okuyama

kyou koete.

When he met Hirutani, did he become more violent? No; every punch he threw during his delinquency had waited, kinetic and desperate, for days, months, years. In classrooms, his sole responses to being ordered around had been sullen deference, with sullenness being his sole demonstration of rebellion. Now, threatened with the obsolescence of his ego, of his perceived freedom, he chained himself to violence, over and over. The first time he punched a man in the gut, he found himself shaking. And rather than sink into sallow, domestic remorse, he slathered himself in white rage. And he went back and he went back and he went back, helpless to his own instincts, trying to dredge the noise in his skull out through his fists. No matter how many punches he threw, and no matter how many he received, he could not stop his head from blazing anew the moment he walked away.

Did Duel Monsters afford him any peace? He would be no man’s losing dog; nor would he be confined to dull celebrity. To play as a strategist consigned him to sitting still, committing himself to gambits he could never entirely trust, to moves that demanded a clear head. To play too whimsically would doom him to inferiority. Thus, he gave half his heart to diligence, and half to sheer fortune. Nobody could idolise his kind of folly, nor devalue his kind of skill. This was Jōnouchi’s will—to eschew having to wait in the mire of expectation; to escape the fog of obligation to anyone’s morals but his own. Honour suited him, so long as it was on his meticulous terms. In games of Duel Monsters, he became a knight-errant of sorts: predictably unpredictable, unexpectedly canny, blindly faithful. With this relationship to his own fate laid out so, he could finally draw cards without fearing those next to come. And thus, hyperkinetic, he found a peace in the game. So he played and played until he forgot how long he’d been playing, and Duel Monsters became as second nature.

Asaki yume miji

ei mo suzu.

Two weeks before Jōnouchi’s graduation, Shizuka invited him to her place to dine. Their father was not to join them. Jōnouchi protested, and his desperation died in a pinprick throat. Wisteria spilled itself over the footpath. Each step threatened to plunge, vertiginous, to the ground. 

When Jōnouchi saw his mother, his throat turned to sandpaper. She looked so old.

You cried so much as a baby, she told him. Kicked and screamed to see the world. You weren’t comfortable waiting in your crib—I’d end up coming to you at 4AM, walking you around the perimeter of the house till my heels burned. And you seemed so afraid of all the noises of the night—groaning engines, singing birds. Now, look at you—you’ve grown up so terribly fast.

Could he afford to tell her how even now, he bit down the urge to kick and scream, to launch himself, all fists and sparks, onto his tormentors? No; so, all night, he gripped his glass as tight as he could. The cold lingered and itched on his palms for days. Holding onto things, it seemed, was not so difficult as he’d once believed.

Colourful Insights: The Iris and Its Role within the Uvea

Introduction

The human eye is an intricate masterpiece, a sensory organ that allows us to perceive the world in all its breathtaking beauty. But, have you ever wondered about the mesmerising world within our eyes, particularly the enchanting layers that make up the uvea? 

Through this blog we’ll take you on a captivating journey through the kaleidoscope of the iris and discover its pivotal role within the most important layer of the eye uvea. Plus, we'll unveil the options of best eye treatment in Hyderabad , a city known for its advanced medical care.

The Uvea: A Symphony of Colors and Functions

The middle layer of the eye Uvea, serves as a striking canvas of colours, spanning a spectrum that includes profound browns, striking blues, and captivating greens. Within this intricate ocular structure, we encounter three pivotal components: the iris, the ciliary body, and the choroid. However, in the narrative of this remarkable ocular composition, the iris emerges as our primary character, distinguished for its unmatched visual allure.

The Iris: A Colourful Marvel

The iris is akin to a painter with an exquisite palette, responsible for bestowing individuals with their distinctive eye colours. It delivers a rich tapestry of shades, ranging from the profound richness of brown to the brilliance of blue and the enchantment of green. Beyond its aesthetic significance, the iris plays a fundamental role in regulating the quantity of light that penetrates the eye.

In the presence of intense light, the iris contracts, diminishing the size of the pupil, thus safeguarding the sensitive inner structures of the eye from excessive illumination. Conversely, in low-light conditions, it dilates, permitting an increased influx of light to reach the retina. This dynamic adaptation is analogous to a conductor directing the nuances of a symphony, ensuring that the visual experience is finely tuned to environmental lighting.

The Uvea: A Protective Shield

While the iris grabs our attention with its beauty and its control over light, there are other key players in the uvea of eye. Most important of them is the ciliary body which plays a crucial role. It's like a factory hidden behind the iris that produces a special fluid called aqueous humour. This fluid helps keep the cornea and lens healthy while also keeping the right pressure inside the eye, much like keeping a balloon properly inflated.

Then, there's the choroid, the outer layer of the eye uvea. Think of it as the strong foundation of a building. It provides plenty of blood to the retina, which is like the camera at the back of your eye. This blood supply keeps the retina working well and ensures your vision stays clear and sharp.

The Uvea's Role in Eye Health

The uvea's significance extends well beyond aesthetics and functionality; it serves as a vital pillar for maintaining the overall well-being of our eyes. When disturbances arise within the uvea of eye, it can be likened to a metaphorical storm cloud, casting a shadow over the previously clear vision. This can pave the way for serious conditions such as uveitis, glaucoma, and retinal detachment. Therefore, safeguarding the integrity of the uvea emerges as the primary guardian of our visual tranquillity.

Best Eye Treatment in Hyderabad

Hyderabad, often dubbed "The City of Pearls," is also renowned for its state-of-the-art medical facilities.  In the realm of eye care, Hyderabad stands as a radiant jewel, adorned with a wealth of premier clinics and hospitals that specialise in tending to uvea-related disorders and offering comprehensive eye treatments.

Neoretina Eyecare Hospital is renowned for its best eye treatment in Hyderabad, which offers a wide range of services from routine eye check-ups to advanced surgical procedures for uveitis and other eye conditions. Our team of highly skilled ophthalmologists, equipped with cutting-edge technology, ensures that your eyes receive the best care possible.

Conclusion: A Kaleidoscope of Possibilities

In the intricate tapestry of our vision, the uvea of eye stands as a testament to nature's artistry and precision. The iris, in particular, emerges as a living masterpiece, seamlessly blending aesthetics with functionality. As we continue to behold the world through our eyes, let us honour the concealed beauty of the uvea and the iridescent iris—the undeniable stars of this visual opus—for it is through them that we experience the kaleidoscope of our colourful world. And therefore, it's important to pay attention to even the smallest inconvenience in the eyes and see a specialist whenever needed.

If you're seeking best eye treatment in Hyderabad, visit Neoretina Eyecare Hospital and rest assured that you're in good hands. Our advanced medical facilities, combined with the expertise of ophthalmologists, are always available to help you preserve and enhance your precious gift of sight.

So, the next time you gaze into a pair of eyes, remember the captivating world within them—the uvea—and appreciate the vibrant iris for its role in shaping the way we see the world.

Glaucoma: Understanding Causes, Symptoms, Treatment, and More

Unveiling the World of Glaucoma

Glaucoma, a complex eye condition, often referred to as the "silent thief of sight," can gradually diminish vision without noticeable symptoms. This article delves into the intricacies of glaucoma, offering insights into its various aspects, from its overview to treatment options and prevention strategies.

Glaucoma Overview: What You Need to Know

Glaucoma is a group of eye disorders characterized by damage to the optic nerve, which connects the eye to the brain. This damage is usually caused by elevated intraocular pressure (IOP), a result of inadequate drainage of aqueous humor, the fluid that maintains eye pressure. If left untreated, glaucoma can lead to irreversible vision loss and blindness. The condition often develops slowly and painlessly, making regular eye examinations crucial for early detection.

Glaucoma Causes: Uncovering the Triggers

The primary cause of most glaucoma cases is elevated IOP. However, the exact mechanisms leading to increased pressure and optic nerve damage remain complex and multifaceted. While elevated IOP is a common factor, other contributors include genetics, age, ethnicity, and underlying medical conditions like diabetes. Understanding these causes can aid in the development of effective prevention and treatment strategies.

Glaucoma Symptoms: Recognizing the Signs

In its early stages, glaucoma typically presents no noticeable symptoms. As the condition progresses, peripheral vision loss may occur, often unnoticed until advanced stages. This highlights the importance of regular eye check-ups, especially for individuals at higher risk. Acute angle-closure glaucoma, a rarer form, can cause sudden and severe symptoms, including eye pain, headaches, blurred vision, and nausea.

Glaucoma Treatment Options: Preserving Vision

Managing glaucoma involves reducing IOP to prevent further optic nerve damage. Treatment options range from medications that lower eye pressure to surgical interventions like laser therapy and traditional surgery. Medications, such as eye drops, beta-blockers, and prostaglandin analogs, aim to decrease fluid production or enhance drainage. Laser therapy, including selective laser trabeculoplasty, helps improve drainage efficiency.

Glaucoma Prevention: Safeguarding Your Vision

While some risk factors for glaucoma, such as genetics and age, are beyond control, adopting a healthy lifestyle can help reduce the risk of developing the condition. Regular exercise, maintaining a balanced diet, managing diabetes and blood pressure, and avoiding smoking are all beneficial steps in preserving eye health.

Types of Glaucoma: Exploring Varieties

Open-Angle Glaucoma: The most common form, open-angle glaucoma, develops gradually and is often asymptomatic until advanced stages.

Closed-Angle Glaucoma: Also known as angle-closure glaucoma, this form is characterized by sudden and severe symptoms due to blocked drainage angles.

Normal-Tension Glaucoma: IOP remains within the normal range, yet optic nerve damage occurs, suggesting other contributing factors.

Congenital Glaucoma: Present at birth, this rare condition occurs due to improper development of the eye's drainage system.

Primary and Secondary Glaucoma: Primary glaucoma has no identifiable cause, while secondary glaucoma is a result of other eye conditions or diseases.

Chronic and Acute Glaucoma: Chronic glaucoma develops gradually, while acute glaucoma presents sudden and severe symptoms.

Pediatric Glaucoma: Affecting children, this condition requires specialized care and early intervention.

Glaucoma Risk Factors: Understanding Vulnerabilities

Several factors increase the likelihood of developing glaucoma. Age is a significant risk factor, as the condition becomes more prevalent with advancing years. Genetics also play a role; if someone in your family has glaucoma, you may be at a higher risk. Ethnicity, particularly African, Hispanic, and Asian descent, is associated with a higher risk. Other factors include high IOP, thin corneas, and underlying medical conditions like diabetes.

Glaucoma Diagnosis: Navigating the Process

Diagnosing glaucoma involves a comprehensive eye examination that includes measuring IOP, assessing the optic nerve, and evaluating peripheral vision. Newer technologies, such as optical coherence tomography (OCT), provide detailed images of the optic nerve and help with early detection. Regular eye exams are vital, especially if you're at a higher risk of developing the condition.

Glaucoma Statistics: Grasping the Numbers

Glaucoma's impact is significant, affecting millions worldwide. According to the World Health Organization, glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness globally. In the United States alone, over three million people have glaucoma, but around half are unaware of their condition due to its gradual onset and lack of symptoms.

Glaucoma Research: Advancing Understanding

Ongoing research aims to unravel the complexities of glaucoma and improve its diagnosis and treatment. Researchers are investigating genetic factors, new medications, innovative surgical techniques, and advanced imaging technologies to enhance early detection and management.

Glaucoma Surgery: Exploring Interventions

When medications and laser therapy fail to manage IOP effectively, surgery may be necessary. Trabeculectomy and tube-shunt surgery are common procedures that create new drainage channels to lower IOP. Minimally invasive options, such as microinvasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS), offer less invasive alternatives with quicker recovery times.

Medications for Glaucoma: Lowering Eye Pressure

Medications are a cornerstone of glaucoma management. These include:

Prostaglandin Analogues: Increase drainage and reduce fluid production.

Beta-Blockers: Decrease fluid production.

Alpha Agonists: Enhance drainage and reduce fluid production.

Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitors: Reduce fluid production.

Rho Kinase Inhibitors: Enhance drainage.

Laser Therapy for Glaucoma: Innovative Approaches

Laser therapy is a non-invasive option for lowering IOP. Types of laser therapy include:

Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT): Targets the drainage angles to improve fluid outflow.

Laser Peripheral Iridotomy (LPI): Creates a small hole in the iris to relieve pressure in angle-closure glaucoma.

Laser Cyclophotocoagulation: Reduces fluid production by treating the ciliary body.

FAQs About Glaucoma

Q: Can glaucoma be cured? A: While there's no cure, early detection and treatment can effectively manage the condition and slow its progression.

Q: Is glaucoma hereditary? A: Genetics play a role, so a family history of glaucoma increases your risk.

Q: Are there lifestyle changes that can help prevent glaucoma? A: Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, managing underlying conditions, and avoiding smoking can reduce your risk.

Q: Can children have glaucoma? A: Yes, pediatric glaucoma is a rare but serious condition that requires specialized care.

Q: Can laser therapy completely replace medications? A: In some cases, laser therapy can effectively manage glaucoma without the need for medications.

Q: Is vision loss from glaucoma reversible? A: Unfortunately, vision loss due to glaucoma is irreversible, making early detection and treatment crucial.

Nurturing Eye Health

Understanding glaucoma's intricacies, from its various types to its potential complications, empowers individuals to take proactive steps in preserving their vision. By staying informed, undergoing regular eye exams, and following recommended treatments, you can significantly mitigate the impact of this condition on your eyesight.

Best Glaucoma Treatment In Kanpur

Glaucoma is a progressive eye disease that can cause irreversible vision loss. While there are several treatments available for managing glaucoma, including medications and laser therapy, in some cases, surgery may be necessary to reduce eye pressure and prevent further damage to the optic nerve. If you are considering glaucoma surgery in Kanpur, it is important to understand the different types of surgeries available and what to expect during the procedure.

Types of Glaucoma Surgery in Kanpur

Trabeculectomy: Trabeculectomy is a traditional surgical procedure that involves creating a small hole in the sclera (white part of the eye) to drain fluid from the eye and reduce pressure. During the procedure, the surgeon creates a flap in the sclera and creates a small opening in the trabecular meshwork, which is the drainage system for the eye. A small blister is then formed under the flap, which allows excess fluid to drain out of the eye. This surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia and may require a short hospital stay.

Ahmed Glaucoma Valve: Ahmed Glaucoma Valve is a type of implantable device that is used to control eye pressure in patients with advanced glaucoma. The device is implanted under the conjunctiva and helps to regulate the flow of fluid out of the eye. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia and may require a short hospital stay.

Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS): MIGS is a newer type of surgical procedure that uses small incisions and specialized tools to reduce eye pressure. There are several types of MIGS procedures available, including trabecular bypass devices, suprachoroidal shunts, and canaloplasty. MIGS procedures are typically performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia and have a faster recovery time compared to traditional glaucoma surgeries.

What to Expect During Glaucoma Surgery in Kanpur

Before the surgery, your surgeon will perform a comprehensive eye exam to determine the best course of treatment for your specific condition. They may also perform various tests to measure your eye pressure, examine the optic nerve, and assess the visual field.

During the surgery, you will be given anesthesia to numb the eye and surrounding area. Your surgeon will then perform the necessary procedure, which may involve making small incisions or creating a flap in the sclera. After the surgery, you may need to stay in the hospital for a short time to monitor your recovery.

Following the surgery, it is important to follow your surgeon’s instructions for post-operative care, which may include taking medications, using eye drops, and avoiding certain activities. Your surgeon will schedule a follow-up visit to monitor your progress and adjust your treatment plan if necessary.

Conclusion

Glaucoma surgery is a highly effective treatment for managing glaucoma and preventing further vision loss. If you are considering glaucoma surgery in Kanpur, it is important to understand the different types of surgeries available and what to expect during the procedure. With the help of a skilled and experienced glaucoma surgeon, you can successfully manage your glaucoma and maintain your vision for years to come.

Hi Commander Wolffe (I remind myself you said that was okay.)

I'm sorry to bother you, and I know you probably won't even see this before my self-made mini-crisis is over, so don't worry about that. But I just wanted to try to distract myself a little bit. And I'm sorry, but you're the one I go to when I'm worried about my vision. (That'll teach you to be nice to me!)

And I'll say right off the bat I know you're not a doctor, and you don't know anything about eye/vision problems, especially in my universe, I'm just using you as a distraction (again, sorry.)

A few years ago I had surgeries to remove the floaters (the gray squiggly worm type) from both eyes. But after that I still had a black dot or two that would float through my vision sometimes. The kind that would make me think a gnat was flying around me or something like that. Not enough to bother my vision, just a little annoying.

I mentioned it to my doctors, and they all say there is nothing in my eye. They see no black dots anywhere. So they don't know what it is. I've asked 2 retinal specialists, a glaucoma specialist, an optometrist who monitors my pressures, and my optometrist who prescribes my glasses. They all say there is nothing there. The optometrist did say, "I've had other people tell me they have that, but we don't know what it is."

So I've just learned to live with it. I'd say it's half the time I see them, and they're easily ignored.

But today when I woke up there was a different one. Different shaped (more of a splotch than an actual dot) and a little bigger. And it seems to stay in the far right of my vision. It's big enough I thought it was a bug crawling on me at one point. But it's not BIG, just bigger than the others. And I see them today too.

I've been debating if I should go to the ER (since it's the weekend, no one is in any of my doctors' offices.) But I don't know if ERs even have ophthalmologists around or on call. And I don't know if a regular MD would know what to look for.

I'm probably not going to go. I haven't seen it for the last 5 minutes. Maybe it's fine. I'm sure it's fine. I just worry a lot.

So as a distraction, I wanted to ask if you had a story of a time with your brothers that brought you joy. You have the whole "grumpy" persona on display a lot, but I'm sure you have fun and enjoy stuff too. Especially with your brothers. And it could be when you were younger or now or anything.

Or if you don't have any stories you want to share, maybe just what some of your favorites are? Like color, weather, pastime, beverage?

Or maybe just what you're up to right now (at the time you see this, that is.)

As I said, I'm writing this to distract myself more than anything. Sorry to bother you, but thank you for making me feel comfortable enough that I was able to distract myself with writing this.

Take care,

Carol (@clonethirstingisreal)

You don't have to apologize for anything. I don't interact out of obligation and wouldn't be here if I didn't want to be. I know firsthand how scary it is when your eyes don't work correctly. To me, it sounds like you're taking some time to think through your options.

I know I can be a grump or come across as overly serious, but that's only because it takes me time to get comfortable in certain situations. I think it's a good time for a story, though. I think @capt-traitor would be fine with me sharing this.

Gregor and I were headed back to triple zero. A bunch of commandos ended up working with the 104th and it was a difficult campaign. While the battle was won, the damage to this one village was particularly awful and even though we got everyone to safety, we were all tired on the flight back. We were what you might call "tired drunk" and for whatever reason, Gregor decided to start talking about how we should get out more. The conversation essentially went like this:

Gregor: When was the last time you went dancing? Me: Never. Gregor: There's your problem! You need to get out more. Swing that kama around. Show the people what you're working with. Let off some steam! Me: I don't swing for just anyone. Gregor: I think you mean something else besides what that sounds like, but that's not important right now. Get up. Me: What? Gregor: Stand up.

Cue Gregor grabbing my hands, pulling me up, and holding me like we're about to waltz. I was too tired to argue, but that man can dance. First he led and hummed while teaching me some steps. Then he had me lead. I don't know where he learned it, but there was just something ridiculous and fun about learning to dance after a series of such long days. We turned on some music and - as Comet would say - we were vibing. Let lose, danced like we were at a club instead of attempting to be fancy, and certain that no one could hear us. At some point we waddled down to the mess in a sleepy daze, broke in without waking anyone up, and grabbed some barely edible ration bars.

Only, @commander-stabby had overheard everything because he was trying to sleep next door. He found us sitting on the floor of the mess kitchen, half-asleep, trying to find the energy to make caf. Gregor looked up at him and asked "You dance, commander?"

⚪️ What I Have?

Narrow Angle Glaucoma:

A rare type of glaucoma that occurs when the drainage angle of the eye becomes blocked.

⚪️ If completely blocked, this can cause a rapid increase in eye pressure (IOP, intraocular pressure) .......which can lead to sudden & permanent vision loss !

⚪️ There are ways to prevent the buildup of liquid/ fluid inside the eye and one way in particular ..... is through a procedure known as a laser iridotomy. (I had this procedure done on both eyes in 2022). Although it helped and is still helping, my glaucoma specialist feels it just isn't enough & we need to do more . 

⚪️ On Tuesday 9/24/24, I will be having cataract surgery since my cataracts are just now beginning to grow/form and push on my narrowing angles we are desperately trying to keep open for proper drainage !

(I know, it sounds scary🙏🏼).

⚪️ But ...... everything is going to be fine and my specialist has done this procedure hundreds of times and I feel I am in great hands.

Once the procedure is completed on both eyes, approximately two weeks apart, (not on the same day)....... and if my pressure falls into the normal range ...... I may possiblybe able to stop using daily drops 🏆🎉🙏🏼.

⚪️ 

⚪️ As of this moment ..... I don't feel I have experienced much/ if any vision loss ....... that's why I'm going through with the surgery ...... to make sure I never have any real vision loss, other than what would typically be considered age-related vision loss.

⚪️ thoughts & prayers please. ❤️

▫️ ▫️ ▫️ ▫️ ▫️ ▫️ ▫️

⚪️ UPDATE : today- 9/24/24

made it home from my procedure and just relaxing and staying hydrated.......... ❤️ Thank you everyone for reaching out and checking up on me, that means more to me than you'll ever know . 

▫️

I will update tomorrow after my follow-up visit----------

✅ (update, all went well on my follow up office visit today, my eye pressures were 17 & 19....... and expecting those to go down ultimately ). 

⚪️The right eye cataract surgery & new lens is...... Oct. 8th.

Not looking forward to it but....... it'll be over soon enough!!

Surgical treatment for Glaucoma

Glaucoma is a kind of eye condition that damages the optic nerve. The optic nerve is a very important part of the eye that sends visual information from the eye to the brain and allows a good vision. Damaged optic nerve leads to high pressure in your eye. But sometimes, glaucoma can occur even with normal eye pressure. Untreated glaucoma might cause blindness. Glaucoma is the second reason of blindness after cataract. Glaucoma can be treated through medication and surgery as well.

Type of glaucoma surgery

Laser surgery: -During this surgery, an ophthalmologist uses a small laser to improve the drainage of the tissue located at the angle where the iris and cornea meet.

Filtering surgery: - In this surgery, an opening is created in the white part of the eye (sclera). The surgery creates another space for fluid to leave the eye.

Drainage tubes: - In this surgery, an ophthalmologist inserts a small tube in your eye to drain excess fluid to lower eye pressure.

Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery: - This surgery is recommended to lower eye pressure and this surgery requires less immediate postoperative care and has less risk also.

*GLAUCOMA- A SILENT THIEF OF SIGHT* Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that cause damage to the optic nerve, which can lead to vision loss and blindness if left untreated. It is one of the leading causes of preventable blindness worldwide. While there is no known cure for glaucoma, early detection and treatment can help to slow or prevent further vision loss. Regular eye exams, especially for those over the age of 40 or with a family history of glaucoma, are important for detecting the disease in its early stages. Treatment options for glaucoma may include eye drops, oral medications, laser therapy, or surgery. The specific treatment plan will depend on the type and severity of glaucoma, as well as other individual factors such as age and overall health. In addition to regular eye exams and timely treatment, certain lifestyle modifications can also help to reduce the risk of developing glaucoma. These may include maintaining a healthy diet and exercise routine, avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, and managing any underlying health conditions such as diabetes. Overall, the prevention of glaucoma-related blindness relies on a combination of early detection, timely treatment, and healthy lifestyle choices. This week is all about Glaucoma awareness.

I am trying my damned hardest to cope right now, but I have to get some anger out first. I hate being disabled. I hate living in a house full of disabled people. I hate surviving instead of living.

I am autistic. I have anxiety, depression, and PTSD. I am an abuse survivor. Trying over 5 different antidepressants and going on birth control for menorrhagia and dysmenorrhea made me gain over 100 pounds between ages 12 and 15. I am immunocompromised. I get a sinus infection that lasts for 4-8 weeks every year. When I was younger, I had bone removed from my face because of chronic sinusitis. They had to put me on one antibiotic after another as a kid. The pediatric ones stopped working, so I ended up on adult antibiotics despite the risk for joint damage. I even had a PICC line put in when I was 8 to pump antibiotics right into my heart. I've had multiple cauterizations to stop severe nosebleeds. One time, the bleeding was so bad that trying to stop it from coming out my nose made it come out my mouth and eyes instead, and my eardrums almost ruptured. When I had Covid-19 in 2021, it lasted for 3 months. I developed seasonal allergies just this year. I have chronic migraine, which at this point is more than half the days in a week. I have GERD and IBS. Insomnia, sleep apnea, and restless leg syndrome. I no longer have tonsils, adenoids, or a gallbladder. I have chronic muscle pain.

My gramma has lived with us since I was 5. She smoked for 50 years and has had a heart attack, strokes, triple bypass surgery, stents, blood transfusions, aneurysm, COPD, staph infections, inch-deep craters in her leg, sepsis, amputation, type 2 diabetes, no teeth, celiac disease, glaucoma, sleep apnea, and countless episodes of heart failure and fluid in her lungs. We think dementia is coming next. She almost burned the house down a while back. Not to mention anxiety, depression, obsessions, and so on.

My mom has chronic vestibular migraine, narcolepsy, sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome, anxiety, depression, type 2 diabetes, arthritis, IBS, GERD, and recently started bleeding out her ass, which could be simple hemorrhoids or colon cancer. 🙃

My dad was an abusive alcoholic, so I cut him off. He is autistic and has Dupuytren's contracture so severe that he can't open his hands and can barely use his thumbs and index fingers, horrible allergies, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and addiction, obviously.

My brother is a type 1 diabetic with a phobia of low blood sugars, which means he purposefully avoided taking the appropriate amount of insulin since he was a teenager. Combined with a diabetic-specific eating disorder, his A1C has been regularly over twice what it should be for over a decade, which has led to the following: diabetic retinopathy and cataracts, complete kidney failure (on dialysis), neuropathy in his legs and feet, no teeth, chronic pain, chronic fluid buildup, and malnutrition. Not to mention Dupuytren's contracture, ADHD, anxiety, panic attacks, depression, and addiction.

And it may be silly to count my pets in with the people, but my dog and two cats are all 17. I've had them since I was 10. The dog has a severe heart murmur, is deaf, and takes several meds, but she's still happy, does brief zoomies once a day after a good shit, and lives to eat. Both cats are arthritic, which is to be expected of such old ladies. One has a sore on her chin that won't heal, and I'm about to spend $1k on her to see if it's solvable or time to make decisions. 🙃

Every single one of us in this house, animals included, are disabled. My mom and I worked so hard to make this a safe, clean space for us after moving out of the filthy, broken house we were in for 15 years, where we all suffered trauma. But ever since my mom let my brother move in due to his health issues, the house has gone to shit. I am the only one who cleans, and I just can't keep up with it. The only safe, clean space for me is my own room, where I imprison myself to survive.

All this, and I still haven't committed suicide because I am dying to live a better life. I have worked too fucking hard to get here. I remind myself of this, of the progress I've made, of my accomplishments, of what I want to see and learn and do, of what and whom I love. But Dear God, I am praying for a break, for some rest, for some peace, for all of us.

Eye hospitals are uniquely positioned to benefit from robotic technology because of the nature of eye-related procedures. The eye is a small and sensitive organ, and traditional surgical methods often have their limitations. Robotic systems address these challenges by offering:

Greater Precision: Surgeons can achieve extraordinary levels of accuracy, ensuring better outcomes for patients.

Less Invasive Procedures: Robotic surgery often requires smaller incisions, which means faster recovery and reduced pain for patients.

Consistency: Unlike human hands, robotic arms don’t tremble, ensuring every movement is deliberate and steady.

Improved Visualisation: Robotic systems often include high-definition cameras and magnification, giving surgeons a clearer view of the surgical site.

What Types of Eye Surgeries Use Robotics?

Robotic systems are used in various eye procedures, each benefiting from the technology’s precision and control. Some examples include:

Cataract Surgery: Robotic assistance helps remove cataracts and implant artificial lenses accurately.

Retinal Surgery: Delicate procedures on the retina, such as repairing detachments, can now be performed with minimal risk.

Corneal Transplants: Robotics makes it easier to replace damaged corneal tissue while preserving healthy areas.

Glaucoma Treatment: Minimally invasive surgeries to relieve intraocular pressure are more precise with robotic systems.

Benefits for Patients

Robotic surgery isn’t just a win for surgeons; it’s also a game-changer for patients. Here’s how:

Shorter Recovery Time: Smaller incisions mean patients heal faster and can return to normal activities sooner.

Lower Risk of Complications: The precision of robotic systems reduces the chance of errors, ensuring safer outcomes.

Improved Results: Whether it’s better vision or fewer side effects, robotic surgery often leads to superior results compared to traditional methods.

Conclusion

Eye hospitals are undoubtedly leading the way in robotic surgery, setting new benchmarks for precision, safety, and patient care. By adopting this technology, they are not only improving surgical outcomes but also enhancing the overall patient experience.
