[@phunghuyhoaofficial]

Wow... Great info, nice video! Thank you for sharing about 4 Groundbreaking New Treatments for Glaucoma!

[@nw133]

Thank you for another very informative and helpful video. I watch them all from Australia and sometimes pass on the information to my optimetrist, (who, by the way, is wonderful), ps, i do have high eye pressure and get monitored for glaucoma

[@gloriacase]

When you show what the difference in pressure does to the bag of chips…makes me wonder…does anybody study what the pressure in a high altitude airplane does to the glaucoma patients?

[@MariaGarcia-il3id]

Thanks for sharing God bless ❤

[@eusterich3035]

can you do a similar video about keratoconus, including places where they are being implemented . like stromal regeneration. i am a patient, please it will be really helpful

[@liaqatgashti6442]

Would you tell us new update regarding RP treatment please

[@swagelock1380]

Very interesting. I am an avid scuba diver and have asked my opthamologist if scuba diving makes a difference and he said no.

[@rjakelian]

How about people who live at high altitudes? Any statistics on that?

[@NehaAyaz-rn8gu]

THANKS😊

[@MsMyra22]

Thank you for a great video. Does Vyzulta have Citocoline in it

[@Aniket_Singh_007]

Hey doc it would be so nice of you to make a new video bout best monthly contact lenses comparing different brands and share your thoughts and tell us which is the best and also the most value for money option for us in the market in 2024 🧡🧡🧡

[@asiftahir]

Good news

[@mballer]

How about eating citicholine as it is known to help the brain function better. Did anyone in the study do both eye drops and eating supplements?

[@joannscott5838]

Any new treatments for cataracts?

[@iknowbeauty]

I would very much like to know how to contact you. Your information is phenomenally helpful. I have suffered from a squamous cell carcinoma located in my face, between eyes, and I survived the surgeries but the stints administered into my tear ducts created injury to my tear duct and the radiation shot between my eyes was horrific. I am now 2 years and still under surgeries. But the ocular surgeons say there is nothing they can do for the red, swollen, drippy eyes. It is beyond uncomfortable and continuous wet eyes 24/7.The clear fluid never lets up. It is blocked and the eye drips. I am concerned about damage to the optic nerve as you mention here. Could you please, please inform me how I could discuss treatments you could possibly suggest? Thank you so very much.

[@taximplus]

Do you offer some news about morbus stargardt as well ?

[@mballer]

Did the B3 lower pressure?

[@abiodunolubajo5898]

Thanks, how can I subscribe for your channel.

[@ChrissieSM]

Doctor, my husband's optic nerve has been damaged by severe glaucoma. Can he get some improvement with treatment?

[@stanleyniezrecki2469]

New report on Niacin from the Cleveland Clinic says it damages arteries, no longer recommended.

[@ChrissieSM]

Does the pressure in the eyes increase when travelling in a plane?

[@buzzsah]

I have been having problems with my eye doctor. After 1.5 hour exam, and me telling him, I see shadows, left eye is about 1, 2 o'clock, right is 12. He tells me I have a stigma, and cataracts. He gives me a script, and tells me come back 6 months after I get my new glasses. I have my new glasses and can't see crap. It seems he doesn't listen.

[@dianemayberry1291]

Please find another dr right away! Research them to make sure they are someone who will listen to you!!

[@MyChilepepper]

I think he’s an optician. You need to see an ophthalmologist who is an MD

[@loljoker-up4bk]

Doctors are bad people they only work to earn money. They dont really have the heart to save patients

[@austinpowers1999]

Buy Hexene free Castor oil and put 2 drops in your eyes at night. Glaucoma will disappear.

[@ElsaRobinson-le5mj]

@buzzsah I'm having the same problem with mine. I told him I have problem with my left eye, that I see blurred and see floaters and he told me there is nothing wrong with my left eye😫

[@John-zz5gt]

Thank you Sir, is Ginkgo Biloba good for glaucoma. Or Nitric oxide supplements?

[@4Lights.5Liights]

Neg Press Goggles: Poisson's ratio also says that the eyeball wall thickness will get thinner; do you want that?

[@preal246]

Tell me something Doc... Pressure could also be external in which case dust particles settled inside the eye could also cause pressure if i am not wrong. Applying castrol oil obove eye lids at night and gently massaging for a while causes dust particles to slip out of the eyes in the morning.... Hoqw far could this help? And doesnt scanning the eye lids actually reveal the dust particles inside ? Just asking...

[@blissbrain]

Can you cover ayurvedic methods of lowering eye pressure naturally with accupressure therapy? Thanks

[@ml3141]

Looks like eye pressure fluctuate like blood pressure so I have a blood pressure on my eyes are at home. Thank you for this informative video. 👍🧡

[@s.d.a.d.r8538]

What is that...???

[@ml3141]

@@s.d.a.d.r8538 thank you for catching this! What did I try to say hear?! I don't know. 😆

[@miguelfernandes277]

Dear doctor my mother is suffering from glaucoma she lost her vision 2 years pass one of doctor did laser surgery for 6 times

[@darrelbryant]

I've been taking citicoline in capsule form for glaucoma for 3 or 4 months. Holistic treatment. I, will have to check out the drops. As always,, thank you Dr Chua.

[@MichaelRChuaMD]

Thanks for your support Darrel!

[@user-rz4ki5ht6o]

Doctors please view the pain in comments section of all videos uploaded, people r expecting reversal doctors u can do it.

[@francisp3427]

Doctor! Kindly tell me if the pressure in my right eye is 24 & the left eye 26. Is this amounts to glaucoma?

[@bobthrasher8226]

Any thoughts on glaucoma as an autoimmune disease? This seems to be a new hypothesis.

[@patriciadavidson305]

Where did u purchase nitric oxide? Brand and dosage? Thank you

[@andrewcarrill4408]

Sclera is pretty friggen rigid. I can’t imagine

[@robertfay590]

Hi Dr. Chua, I mix, a few days a week, a powered mix of nitric oxide with water and my IOPs are now (L11, R 10) great and I can better read the eye chart. The drink appears to widen my vessels and increase the blood circulation to my eyes and all other parts of my body where blood flow is essential. Please share your thoughts on nitric oxide and eyes. Thank you.

[@engineerhd5672]

Hi Robert can you share the powered mix of nitric oxide you are using?

[@mballer]

I guess there is no interaction here.

[@daulatsarnobat3326]

I had a cataract surgery in my RE 1.5 yrs back. A wk later absolutely weak vision. A mth later a laser procedure was done for film build up, no improvement. A second opinion indicated left over lens fragments, which subsequently dissolved without a repeat surgery bur eye pressure stood affected for some time. Started on eye drops. Now the surgeon says nerve is affected. Vision in RE continues to remain poor. Does a cataract surgery lead to nerve issues? The primary surgeon was an experienced hand with maybe over half lakh cataract surgeries. Still on eye drops Latoprost & combigan. IOP 's well under control.

[@mballer]

Pressure is a symptom not the cause of damage, correct?

[@nishantchoudhary8540]

Yes

[@ricardo1584]

High pressure causes glaucoma in most cases.

[@mballer]

@@ricardo1584 Most? What about the others?

[@ricardo1584]

@@mballer the others are normal tension glaucoma (or low pressure). and congenital glaucoma

[@mballer]

@@ricardo1584 I asked for the cause, not for a name. You named it, now explain it.

[@roaminaround377]

With Negative pressure, can the eyeball implode?

[@fagnerribeiroporto3943]

No. Explode

[@mballer]

I wonder if it helps myopia.

[@nononono.]

Why myopia is spreading like it's common now? Blue light from electronics or not going outside for vitamin d day time or anything else? What is it?

[@mballer]

Too much close up viewing mainly. People who have outdoor work are less likely to have myopia, people who sit in front of computers all day are more likely to develop myopia.

[@nononono.]

@@mballer yah but is it blue light damaging retina or another explanation on internet (being away from biggest source of vitamin d and solar energy is modifying part(s) of eye in a negative way)sorry for being too late to reply😞

[@mballer]

@@nononono. Myopia and retina damage are two different things. My opinion is that the main cause of myopia is too much continual closeup work. The body perfectly adapts to what it is doing. If you give it distant work it adapts to make that it's normal situation. People who hang a Snellen chart on the wall and frequently use it, read it, have less myopia than those who don't have a chart to read. The sunshine is heathy for the blood vessels and ciliary muscles of the eye. Two separate things.

[@nononono.]

@@mballer oh! 😇😇😇

[@rogerzeng2665]

Is long term use of Vitamin B3 supplements safe?

[@ekosugitowidjajaseputro1175]

I heard high dose vitamin B3(nicotinamide) may negatively effect liver function. Maybe Dr.Chua can find deeper study on the role)safety of nicotinamide at high dosage. According to TCM,there is a correlation between liver and eye. TQ and await your further study .

[@ochudonobodo]

Just make sure you take enough water daily. At least 3 litres a day. I have glaucoma and take vitamin b3 nicotinamide, lutein and zeaxanthin, and Coenzymn Q10. My eye pressure (after 10 surgeries) is between 12 and 15.
