Hi all as from my previous post, my 8 yr old who was diagnosed with Open angle glaucoma has been on her adopt meds n ganfort. The thing is this has lowered her preasures but she still gets eye pain. The doc said this is due to her eyes being dry n the pain is coming from tiny ulcers inside the eye. Well ulcers is how he describes it. Has any one heard of this before?? I had to take her to the emergency n one of the docs said that i need to discuss it with her own doc who we r seing this thursday. N that he thinks its the meds causing this. Obviously he said she can't stop the meds n i will need to discuss other options with her opthomologist . Any experiences about this plz share thank you
Ask the specialist about the possibility of getting "preservatve free" eyedrops! I have them - they are less irritating!
Pain could be due the med being used by her. Changing it may be tried in consultation with the opthalmologist. Good luck to young kiddy.
Thank you for your replies she is on preservatives free at thfor the last few months. But hopefully something will work out soon.
