Loss Of Vision [Others]

Does Everyone with Glaucoma Go Blind?

ANSWER:

“Will I go blind?” is one of the most commonly asked questions by patients newly diagnosed with glaucoma. There was a time not so long ago when the answer to this question was an unqualified “yes”. Being diagnosed with glaucoma in the early 20th century meant that you were going to face eventual blindness. Effective treatments were not developed until the mid-20th century. Even those worked poorly or were associated with near intolerable side effects until about 40 years ago. Modern medicine has made great strides in both medical and surgical treatment of this condition but we are still far from a cure. Indeed, the best we can currently hope for is to slow down the loss of vision.

If we cannot completely halt the loss of vision from glaucoma, how effective are modern treatments at limiting vision loss? One very well-respected study called the Early Manifest Glaucoma Trial (EMGT) took a look at this issue. At first blush the results do not appear to be encouraging. About 60% of patients diagnosed with glaucoma eventually lost some vision. It’s important to emphasize, however, that this does not mean that 60% of patients went blind.

A century ago someone who went blind from glaucoma had likely lost all functional vision. Today, however, we define blindness a bit differently. A commonly used definition is that of the World Health Organization (WHO) which defines blindness as either vision worse than 20/400 or with less than 10 degrees of central vision remaining. Many people who fit this definition of blindness are still able to function though often with visual aids as well as other assistance.

So most people who develop glaucoma and receive treatment in the 21st century do not go blind from glaucoma. But some do. Are we getting better at preventing blindness from glaucoma? It seems we are. In 2014 a study was published looking at residents of Olmsted County, Minnesota diagnosed with glaucoma from 1965 through 2000. Those patients diagnosed more recently (from 1981-2000) were approximately 50% less likely to go blind than those diagnosed between 1965-1980.1 Is this improvement over time a result of better treatments? Perhaps. It may also be the result of greater awareness of the dangers of glaucoma in the population, better screening, and earlier detection.

Multiple studies have estimated the risk of blindness over time but only a few studies have addressed the question patients are most interested in: “Will I go blind before I die?2” One of the more recent studies published in 2013 estimated that 4 in

in 10 patients diagnosed with open angle glaucoma go blind in one eye, and 1 out of 6 (~16%) go blind in both eyes.3 As expected, the longer someone has glaucoma the more likely it is that she will go blind. Ten years after diagnosis approximately 1 in 4 patients in this study lost vision in at least one eye and 1 in 20 were blind in both eyes. Twenty years after diagnosis almost 4 in 10 patients were blind in one eye and nearly 1 in 7 patients were blind in both eyes.

These results are sobering. In a time when many people assume that modern medicine can effectively treat or cure most diseases, glaucoma is still blinding a significant number of those with this condition. Yes, we’ve made quite a bit of progress as someone with glaucoma is less than half as likely to go blind today as they would have been 50-100 years ago. Is there something other than new treatments that might further decrease the risk of blindness in patients with glaucoma? Indeed, there is something that’s been known for over 30 years to reduce the chances of going blind from this disease: early diagnosis.

Earlier detection seems to be one of the key factors in whether someone is likely to go blind from glaucoma. Simply put, a person who has already lost some vision by the time of diagnosis is more likely to go blind4 than someone who is diagnosed with glaucoma prior to losing any vision. It’s been estimated that 50% of people with glaucoma don’t even know they have it.5 Without symptoms many people do not bother to have their eyes checked for glaucoma. By the time they do go to the doctor they may already have lost vision. This is why getting evaluated for glaucoma is so important among those at risk for this disease.

If you or a loved one is at risk of developing glaucoma get screened. It is the single most important thing you can do to protect yourself from going blind if you do develop glaucoma.

Is there is anything oral that can restore eye sight?

March 8, 2018

QUESTION:

Good day, I’m emailing you in regards of my mother. She’s 86 years old, and she doesn’t want any one to put in her eye drops, but it seems as if she’s loosing her eye sight rapidly now. I was wondering if there is anything oral that she can take to restore back her eye sight. If so, I need to know ASAP. She gets her regular checks ups twice a year. I hope you can help me out.

via Email


ANSWER:

I’m afraid there are no glaucoma treatments that are capable of restoring sight. The best we are currently available to do is delay loss of vision by lowering the eye pressure. There are pills (carbonic anhydrase inhibitors) that can lower the pressure but they must be prescribed carefully as there are potential side effects. Whether that would be an appropriate treatment for your mother would best be discussed with her local ophthalmologist.

Is there any treatment available to help recover minimum vision?

March 18, 2018

QUESTION:

This is F*** contacting you from London. My mother recently lost her vision as result of laser therapy conducted on her eyes while she had advanced Glaucoma. I am interested to know if there is any treatment available to help recover minimum vision.

via Email


ANSWER:

I am afraid that there are no currently proven methods of restoring vision lost from glaucoma. Although exciting developments are occurring in the laboratory these are still many years away from being used to restore vision to humans. I am sorry I could not provide more encouraging information.

Is glaucoma incurable?

March 27, 2017

QUESTION:

I have glaucoma and is totally blind in the right eye. I protect both eyes using Lumigan eye drops. I’m assured by specialists here that glaucoma is incurable. As I have told you my right eye is 100% dead. What’s your opinion?

via Email


ANSWER:

Your doctors are unfortunately correct. There is no currently proven method of restoring vision lost from glaucoma. Research may change this in the future, but for now the best we can do is try and limit further loss of vision over time.

I am sorry I could not provide the answer you may have been hoping to hear.

Can Canaloplasty be done to a person who’s been blind for about 7 years?

May 6, 2017

QUESTION:

Hello, I have question: Can Canaloplasty be done to a person (my sister) who’s been blind for about 7 years? I’ve been diagnosed with glaucoma in one eye as well.

via Email


ANSWER:

I’m afraid that if your sister is completely blind (no vision at all) then no surgical treatment will be of any value. I am hopeful that your glaucoma will be more effectively treated.

Is Canaloplasty still advisable if one has extensive loss of visual field?

January 12, 2017

QUESTION:

Hi, I am W***, 22 years old, from Pakistan. In 2008, I had glaucoma due to a lot of use of sterile eye drops. I lost my right eye vision in 2009, then slowly, I’ve started losing vision in my left eye. Then I had surgery on my left eye to stop glaucoma, now I have just 30% vision in my left eye. I can read books only with the help of magnification. In Pakistan, the doctors told me that your treatment is impossible in Pakistan. I recently saw your canaloplasty video on youtube so that’s why I contacted you. If you have treatment for my eyes, kindly guide me. I shall be very thankful to you.

via Email


ANSWER:

Without personally examining your eyes it’s not possible for me to provide medical advice. However, given the extensive loss of visual field shown on the testing printouts it is unlikely that canaloplasty would be able to adequately control your eye pressure. I am sorry that I could not be of more assistance.

Is there a way to recover lost vision?

December 12, 2016

QUESTION:

Hello, my name is M*** and my grandmother is suffering for glaucoma. One of her eyes has lost total vision and the other one is soon going to be lost too. Is there anyway she could be able to get treated and have her sight back?

via Email


ANSWER:

I’m very sorry to hear about your grandmother. Glaucoma is a truly awful disease in that once vision is lost we don’t currently have any proven way to restore the vision that has been lost. We can, however, limit further loss which is why it is so important that she be regularly seen by an ophthalmologist.

Although I’d be happy to perform an exam I would imagine that (if she also lives in the Carlsbad area) she would desire to avoid traveling up to Los Angeles. I can, however, recommend two very skilled ophthalmologists closer to you:

Shervin Alborzian, MD (La Jolla)
Tory Prestera, MD (San Marcos)

Are Sudden Vision Changes from Taking Melatonin Reversible in Glaucoma Patients?

QUESTION:

Are sudden vision changes from taking melatonin reversible in Glaucoma patients?

K. Hallmark‎ via Facebook


ANSWER:

I’m not aware of Melatonin causing sudden vision changes. Indeed, Melatonin is occasionally recommended for those with glaucoma in order to protect from vision loss.

I Can’t Afford to Pay out of Pocket. Are There Any Glaucoma Specialists in the San Gabriel Valley That Dr. Richardson Recommends

ANSWER:

I certainly understand that not everyone can afford to pay out of pocket for their health care. That is why I have worked hard to keep my overhead low and my fees reasonable. Indeed, if you have a high deductible you may end up paying out of pocket even if you see an in-network doctor. Worse, when you go to an in-network doctor you may have no idea what you will have to pay until after it has been processed through your insurance.

When you see me you will know ahead of time what to budget for. If you have copies of recent eye tests I may be able to use those reports saving you the cost of in-office testing. There are no unpleasant surprises here.

If you have a PPO insurance you may also have out of network benefits. We have found that many PPO insurances reimburse well enough that the final cost to see me is in the range of many in-network co-pays. My billing specialist, Helah, should be able to find out what your insurance may reimburse you after your visit with me.

Loss of Vision Due to Low IOP (Hypotony)

QUESTION:

In the last year I have had 4 retinal detachments. The retina now seems to be in good shape and well attached. Unfortunately I now have low IOP with loss of vision. The eye pressure is 5. I live in mexico and seem to have run out of specialist to assist me. I have been told that a glaucoma specialist is a good place to start because of their familiarity with IOP issues. Do you have any thoughts about this. Do you treat low IOP or know someone who specializes in treating this condition.

******


ANSWER:

Dear ******,

I’m sorry to hear about your loss of vision. Low IOP (hypotony) can lead to a condition called hypotony maculopathy that can result in loss of vision. Hypotony is actually more challenging to treat than high IOP. We have many ways to bring down high IOP but few to deal with hypotony. Those that do work tend to be focused on revising prior glaucoma surgeries. Hypotony after retinal surgeries tend to be even less responsive to treatment.

Unfortunately, I cannot offer any advice without seeing in-person what might be causing this condition. Even with an exam it is unlikely that I would have much to offer you beyond what your doctors have already tried. If, however, you would like to set up a consultation with me I have copied my nurse, Ana, on this email. She can help you set up the appointment and arrange for obtaining copies of your prior records. I would need to see what attempts have already been made to treat your hypotony (such as topical steroid treatment).

I Was Wondering What a Few Point Difference Could Make When the Glaucoma Has Not Progressed Since Diagnosis?

QUESTION:

So my base OCT and the next one a year later (just recently) show NO progression of glaucoma – it is all relative though as my optic nerve had a lot of damage when I was diagnosed. The ophthalmologist wants me to be on latanoprost / timOlol combo. For two and a half years since diagnosis I was just on latanoprost which was working. That combo has side effects for me and I was reasonably happy with just the latanaprost and had no side effects that I could detect anyway. He wanted my IOP down. I was wondering what a few point difference could make when the glaucoma has not progressed since diagnosis.


ANSWER:

OCTs are a wonderful method of detecting subtle changes in the nerve fiber layer in the early and moderate stages of glaucoma. Unfortunately, in the later stages this technology is nearly useless. Once the nerve fiber layer thickness reaches 70 micrometers or less (commonly seen in advanced glaucoma) the OCT will not reliably detect further progressive loss even if vision is being rapidly compromised. At later stages in glaucoma there is no substitute for the much maligned threshold visual field testing which, unfortunately, must be repeated multiple times per year (not just annually) in order to detect real visual field loss.

With regard to your question about the importance of further IOP reduction the medical literature is clear that more advanced glaucoma requires lower target pressures. What that target is for each individual, however, is only discovered after the fact. In essence glaucoma is treated by choosing a target IOP based on many factors (age, severity of visual field and NFL loss, family history, medical conditions, etc.) then the NFL and visual fields are monitored. If no progression is detected the then target is considered adequate. If, however, progression is detected then the target IOP is reduced another 15-20% until the rate of progression is adequately reduced.

As you can imagine, the success of such an iterative process is severely limited by the variability inherent in all glaucoma testing (especially IOP and visual fields). It takes at least three measurements to separate out a trend from the noise of inter-test variability. For this reason I recommend that my own patients with glaucoma obtain visual field and/or OCTs a minimum of twice yearly and as frequently as every three months. I also encourage home IOP monitoring for those who can afford it. Hopefully such devices will be both affordable and covered by insurance over the next few years.

I Am 73 Years Old. I Was Recently Diagnosed With Glaucoma. What’s The Best Treatment For Me

QUESTION:

My Eye Dr- whom I do not trust, recently diagnosed me with glaucoma. But she never explained my type of glaucoma and despite several exam. She just recommended eye drop. She does not gives me details description of my eye problem. She recommend laser surgery. She told me before, “you did not need the drop”. In my last visit, she prescribed eye drop. Please help me. I am 73 years old and I can read without glasses and do not have any Blur vision. What is the best choice of treatment?

Thank You.

******


ANSWER:

Dear ******,

I am sorry to hear that your current eye doctor has not earned your trust. It takes time (something few modern doctors have enough of) to both educate about eye conditions and earn trust. I have created a website to address the glaucoma education challenge: New-Glaucoma-Treatments.com

With regard to your glaucoma treatment, I’m afraid it is not possible to make a recommendation without first completing an in-person examination. Glaucoma treatments depend upon elements of the eye’s anatomy that can only be seen with a slit lamp (clinical microscope). I’ve copied my nurse, Ana, on this email so you may schedule an appointment to see me if that is possible for you. I am located in San Marino, CA (San Gabriel Valley).

Is Laser Peripheral Iridotomy for Me?

QUESTION:

Hello Dr. Richardson,

I viewed one of your patients on Youtube who had a Laser iridotomy done by you. I know you are a very busy man so I’ll keep this brief.

I have seen 4 specialist regarding narrow angle and 3 out of 4 say I should have laser Iridotomy. I’m terrified after reading so many horror stories online and so few success stories. I wonder if you could give me some positive feedback about the potential side effects. I am so anxious about the side effects (double vision, white lines, and glare) that so may complain is permanent. Are these typical because it sure looks that way from all the blogs.

I have someone who I think is a good Ophthalmologist from Miramar Eye Specialists Medical Group in Ventura County where I live. However, I would appreciate a little feedback from another professionals experience.

If you are not able to write back I understand and if you are thank you in advance.

Best regards,
******


ANSWER:

Dear ******,

Although I cannot comment on whether laser iridotomy is appropriate for you, it is generally well-tolerated. Yes, there are risks as with every surgery. Do most people notice glare or ghosting afterward? No. But some do and it can be permanent.

However, for those who have very narrow (what we call “occludable”) angles the real risk is a sudden, permanent, severe loss of vision. Compared to that all the risks of laser peripheral iridotomy are but annoyances. Are there people who have commented online about how unhappy they are with glare or ghosting after the laser treatment? Yes. Would each and every one of those people prefer their current symptoms to severe loss of vision? Your guess is as good as mine, but I’d bet dollars to donuts that not one of them would prefer blindness over glare or ghosting.

Laser peripheral iridotomy is a bit like wearing a seatbelt. If you never get into an accident then you may feel it was an annoying, wasted effort to wear it. But if you knew you were going to get into an accident I bet you’d make certain you had buckled up. Your doctors don’t know your angle will close (get into an accident) but it sounds like most agree that you’re at high risk.

Hope this gives you some perspective.

BTW, is the doctor you’re seeing at Miramar Dr. John Davidson? If so, he’s excellent. I’d trust my eyes to his care.

Can a Glaucoma Patient Use Another Set of Eyes If He/She Can Get from a Donor?

ANSWER:

No, not with currently available medical technology. To date the only “transplantable” ocular tissues are in the front of the eye (conjunctiva, sclera, cornea). Whole eye transplants will likely remain in the realm of science fiction for at least a few more decades (if they ever leave that realm).
