Guest guest Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 Hi, I'm currently on Xalatan because my eye pressure is too high. My doc thinks I might get glaucoma. I'd like to try the Eyebright formula. My doc thinks I should keep using the Xalatan though. Is it a good idea to try the following therapy for a couple of months and then check the eye pressure again? 09:00: Eyebright formula 13:00: Eyebright formula 17:00: Eyebright formula 21:00: Xalatan Has anybody tried that? Can the products interact with each other? Thanks and best regards, Mario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 My sons have Glaucoma and take Xalatan (DH is NOT open to using Naturopathy on the kids, even though he's amazed that I am in better health than I was two years ago because of Naturopathy. He's fine with me doing it for myself though. Makes for some interesting and very heated debates!). If I am correct - it is my understanding that if your pressure is high then you probably already have glaucoma. I think I'd have to give Doc a call for this one, though.

I carefully follow the recommended care of the ophthamologist. At present I use Xalatan at bedtime. Over the years the treatment has varied. I have had seven eye surgeries. My left eye is badly damaged and sees very little. The right eye has 20/20 vision in it. I had one doc who suggested I use some suppliments such as eye bright which I did for a while. But these made no improvement in the visual accuity so after three months I stopped using them. Our eyes are very precious and important for us. If your sons' eye doc is saying, use Xalatan, then follow his advice. Loss of vision is loss of life. Do not risk your sons' vision!!!!

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 I wasn't. I know how serious Glaucoma is. They were born with it - they have Micropthalmia as well.
