My husband (66, healthly except for dx of aortic aneurysm, replacement aortic valve and aorta in 2005, and on Warfarin ever since) was finally able to go to Costco yesterday for what I thought was going to be a perfunctory eye exam. (We have had EXCELLENT experiences with Costco optometrists; several years ago, they sent me to an MD upon seeing a suspicious nevus).
He apparently has a choroid nevus (as do I) and she suspects narrow angle glaucoma. We have an appointment with my opthamologist next week and I wondered if anyone here has had any experience with Narrow Angle Glaucoma treatments or management?
Great day! And Hamilton is on at 7 PM!!!
Thank you all for your support and information.
In very basic terms (the way I told my grand kids...) they drilled little tiny holes in my eyes so that the fluid wold drain.
No pain
No discomfort after or during.
No bleeding
I was caring for my Husband at the time and I was able to continue my normal routine.
Odd thing, I mentioned it to the Hospice Nurse that would come weekly to see my Husband and she said she had had the same thing. And I had never heard of Narrow Angle Glaucoma before.
