I have acute angle glaucoma have peripheral damage, but i am taking Vit B3 for ADHD , so thats good news that B3 can prevent furthur damage to the optic nerve as well . I'm now 65 I was diagnosed with acute angle closure glaucoma at 36 , have had cataracts surgery numerous treatments and drops to reduce the stubborn pressures , I have night vision problems , and for what it's worth , I noticed that when I open my eyes really wide the vision becomes a little foggy and when i squint it becomes a little less foggy . My partner has glaucoma and type 2 diabetes but she cant take vit B3 as it raises her blood sugar. Thankyou so much for this video Dr Chua ,

[@sagitterrorists]

Very informative video; thank you, Dr. Chua! I'm super stoked for my next ophthalmology appt.; finally, someone is giving us a slither of hope to truly fight this horrific disease!

Australia, I believe it was, had outstanding, large quality results of actually reversing Glaucoma with citicoloine.

[@chapellinator]

I wish I could take Citicoline but I find it makes me feel very depressed

[@jasmynsglaucomajasmynpolit7033]

Glaucoma Is already in my eyes and I have to take eye drops four times a day to treat my pressures. So far glaucoma is stable with my four eye drops and me seeing my eye doctor every 4 months

[@dazjames862]

4 times a day???? 😢 that’s crazy. I most likely have glaucoma and scared of having to put drops in once a day 😢

[@curiouscat3384]

My mother was diagnosed with high pressures at the age of 65. She faithfully used the drops into her 80's but it never improved. But they are beta blockers and affected her strength and moods. Listen to the holistic doctors as well, don't trust doctors who just automatically prescribe pharmaceuticals.

[@angelacarlton1550]

Most only have to put 1 drop in each eye at night before bed.

[@angelacarlton1550]

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!!

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

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

[@koljivanov4050]

Glaucoma. The simplest method for determining glaucoma is palpation of the eyes. To determine the pressure in the eye, a palpation method is used, based on comparing the pressure and elasticity of the eyes in the diseased and healthy eye: the patient closes his eyes and looks down, and the examiner places the index fingers of both hands on the eyelids above the cartilage and lightly presses on the eye with each finger alternately. When comparing the tone (density) of a healthy and diseased eye, an impression is created of the level of pressure in the diseased eye. How to reduce pressure in the eye. Get into the shower for 5-10 minutes and thoroughly wash your eyes, head, ears, face and neck, preferably under a contrast shower to improve the vascular system. A strong jet and massage movements of the eyes and head improve blood and lymph flow. At the same time, you constantly close your eyes under water, and wash them, massaging the eyes, face, ears, head, neck, etc., thereby squeezing excess fluid from the eyes through clogged with blood, inflammation, sugar, or retrograde (reverse) movement of blood after venous stagnation of the spongy trabecular network, which removes 85 percent of excess fluid from the eyes into the Shlemov canal. If you can’t get into the shower, you can thoroughly wash your eyes, face, head, ears, neck every hour, preferably with water, to improve all the blood vessels and capillaries of the eyes and everything else. It is also necessary to provide a diabetic with gentle nutrition 2 to improve the rheology of the blood and lymph. Also useful in times of crisis and not only daily cupping, for example on the back, but once a week cupping (hijma) and the most effective once every three times for cupping, at least one leech, first on the navel, or near the sacrum, this is also close to the liver, and then closer to the head to the neck and even to the head. This also immediately reduces and normalizes blood sugar; you can check it by measuring your sugar before and after applying leeches and canes. You will be pleasantly surprised by the results. To remove venous congestion, which is often the cause of glaccoma, and to improve lymph flow throughout the body, various exercises also help kzbin.info/www/bejne/ap7VoZase76AeM0si=vJ1ccsAyj6ThPE01 you need to perform them in the morning and several times a day.

Was recently diagnosed with glaucoma and nervdamage at 34 years old. No one in my family had it. Also issues with my heart but investigating what else is going on through bloodtests. Trying to find ways alternative ways to heal. The drops I got gives me strong dizzyness and other weird side effects. Thanks for the info!

Sadly this is all too late for me. I live in the Uk and have had advanced glaucoma for 10 years now. I am severely sight impaired due to glaucoma. I've had eye drops and stents in the eyes but they dont help. The only thing that will help me is when the lost ganglion cells in the retina can be restored. I'm 62 years old.

[@slammedbyme]

I have the same question,please let me know

[@TobeOnwura]

Me too. This is the single most important advancement in medicine that will forever change the game for people with glaucoma. I have just been diagnosed with glaucoma about 5 days ago due to a slight blur in my right eye that took me to the eye clinic. And now I can't wait for someone to tell me it's finally possible to regenerate the dead optic nerves back to life.

Nerve cells in retina are relatively fast turn over ,they DO nat regenerate at a slow pace the problem is is this rate equal to or greater than the degeneration ,ie even if one has nerve regenerative tech if all other variables are negative cells will die off the root cause must be addressed poor circulation oxygen diffusion brain overall health etc then pressure I have had it for 20 years ie elevated IOP and little damage to my sight ,nerves do regenerate just very slowly as we age

[@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.

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! 😇😇😇

[@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...

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.

Thank you.

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 .

[@EmekaLifeQuotes]

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.

[@TechnoWorld-pg7tv]

@@EmekaLifeQuoteshow old are you? What was the pressure before surgeries

[@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.
