Do eye creams give some relief to people with glaucoma?!
Question: Do eye creams give some relief to people with glaucoma!?
My mum had acute closure glaucoma 3 years back and had laser treatment + an operation for that!. But pain keep coming back to her eyes now and then!. It feels like a constant looming fear of losing eyesight all the time!.
Some eye creams claim to freshen up and re-energize your eyes by improving blood flow around the eyes!. I wonder if she applied one of those eye creams under her eyes, would that help maintain *relatively* healthy eyes!? After all, glaucoma is caused because of restriction on the fluid flow inside the eye!. Or would there be any adverse effects of such a cream!?
Please give me answers other than asking me to consult the doctor - I already know that!. Here in the UK, it's damn hard to get the family doctor's appointment in the first place and even if you do, they are sometimes next to useless!.
So, would an eye cream (1) help, (2) won't make any difference or (3) damage her eyes even further!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
seeing as how i have glaucoma i don't believe it would do anything to the eyes!. the eye creams are meant to make the under eye area look brighter and re energized like so you don't look so tired!. they help the circulation under the eye not the eye its self!.
there are 2 other options that i can recommend!.
an eye drop that is supposed to help control the peasure in the eye!. i use one called COSOPT!. it keeps my right eye preasure normal!.
also i had a surgery on my left eye cuz the eye drop wasn't helping!. they went in and put a tube in my eye so that they fluid could drain out how it is supposed to!.
about going to the doctors!. obviously to do either of my above choices you would need to see a doctor!. and you said it is hard to get into a family doctor and they are almost useless!. well your mom shouldn't be seeing a family doctor in the first place!. get her into an ophthalmologist that specializes in glaucoma!.
they will be able to actually help her!.
hope your mom feels better i know how painful glaucoma can be!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Angle closure glaucoma is caused when the iris blocks the drainage system of the eye causing an acute rise in the eye pressure!. When you have laser surgery (I assume your mom had laser iridotomy!?), a hole is lasered in the iris so this won't happen again!. This all occurs internally within the eye!. There is no eye cream that can prevent angle closure!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
