My experience with glaucoma.
I was was seeing a ophthalmolgist for years and taking medication
for increased intraocular pressure to keep it in check. Then came
antiarrhythmic drugs (rythmol was first). I had some optic nerve
damage (Dr. was surprised). Went to specialist for glaucoma and
had the laser procedure to treat it. My presure stayed at about 19,
and Dr put me on more eye drops and it kept my presure down.
Then I had my PVI ablation and needed no more drugs. I went to
my Opthalmolgist for check up and was off antiarrhythma drugs for 10 months and my pressure was lower than it has been for 20 years.(14)
I'm still on warfarin but hope to be off of it in 4 months.
Maybe the laser procedure did work? Dr. is not taking me off eye
drops yet.
