Goniotomy for Congenital Glaucoma
sarbjitss asked:
a technique of goniotomy. Sent by Prof. Dr. Daljit Singh. I think it has been done by Dr. Jan Worst and the video is probably more than 15 years old.
what are the pain killers they put you on for this surgury?
I am 37 years old. I am under the care of Moorfields Eye Hospital in London UK. The best eye hospital in the UK, if not the World. Goniotomy surgeries have been around since 1938. They are 80% sucesssful, and can be done again if needs be. I had my surgeries done at 4 and 6 months old. I suffer from photophobia. (Sensitivity to light) and Tunnel Vision. With annual checkup’s, it can be monitored and controlled. Coegenitial Glaucoma is hereditary.
thanx for your reply tw
oh ok…well, my optomotrist told me that i am developing kerateconus in my right eye, and prescribed glasses and told me to see how i do in them..but i still have blurriness in my right eye which makes sense when you have that..but i also have pain in it, that’s the reason i ask if the specialist would know for sure..im going to go back to my optomitrist anyways
yes he/she can! The dr. probably shined a light at an angle in your eye. He then looked to see if a shadow appeared on the opposite side from which he shined the light. If a shadow appeared, then you have glaucoma. If not, then you are good to go.
i went to a retinal specialist to check my eyes because my optomitrist sent me there to make sure that my eyes are fine..he looked at my eyes with his instrument and said that everything is fine… can a retinal specialist tell if i have glaucoma or not by just looking into my eyes with his instrument? t

Im cringing all over…. But thats wicked.
I had two Goniotomy operations performed on both my eyes at 4 and 6 months of age. If I hadn’t been born in London, plus the expertise of the Opthamologist I was under. I would have eventually lost sight in both my eyes. I am 36 years of age now.
Two goniotomy operations were performed on me 36 years ago. If I hadn’t been born in London, plus the expertise of the Opthamoligist I was under. I would have lost sight in both my eyes.
This surgery has made my son maintained is sight he had one in the right eye and 4 in the left.
Glaucoma has stolen my left eye’s sight. Now I feel so sad about this.
