Self-tonometry in Fuchs Uveitis Syndrome

Submitted by gerdre on Sun, 11/14/2010 - 2:31pm

A couple of weeks ago I suddenly suffered from high IOP on one eye, resulting from a 20 year affliction with Fuchs Uveitis Syndrome where glaucoma is known to be the main complication. The IOP was 40/10 but came down quickly with diamox and eyedrops (cosopt and xalatan) and the good news is that there is no damage to the optic nerve yet, according to my opthalmologist. Since the event IOP was monitored weekly, and turned out OK at 17/15 and 16/16. I have now been told to stop with medication and IOP will be checked again in a few days.
