I have arrived at this approach after decades of intense personal study (on top of my education in biochemistry). </p> <p> In addition to sharing my ideas and general approach, I have included a list of supplements. The list serves several purposes. First, it is a <span style="font-weight: bold;">comprehensive list</span> of all (or almost all) of the dietary<img alt="biochemist superfoods glaucoma" src="http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0230/4107/files/biochemist-red-pepper-in-laboratory-200x225.jpg?1895" style="margin: 2px 5px; width: 200px; height: 225px; float: right;"> supplements that are relevant to glaucoma. Second, for each superfood, herb or nutrient I have picked the best <span style="font-weight: bold;">specific product</span> I can find. For most products I have already included a few sentences summarizing the benefits and why I take it -- with a focus on its benefits for glaucoma and/or general vision health. (For any remaining products where I have not yet written that summary you can find similar info on the product pages at the <a href="http://estore.fiteyes.com/" target="_blank">FitEyes eStore</a>. For each product I have included a link directly to its product page.)&nbsp; </p> <p> My nutrient intake philosophy is "<span style="font-weight: bold;">Foods first!</span>"&nbsp; I also believe in "first, do no harm." In the past I have taken supplements that I later learned were of dubious benefit. (One example is beta carotene.) I learned to appreciate "first, do no harm" on the basis of having possibly done harm to myself. </p> <p> While I favor the safe, natural, food-based approach, glaucoma can be a serious disease and those who ignore the important role of nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals may be risking their vision. We have to find a <span style="font-weight: bold;">delicate balance</span> between being careful and conservative and missing out on important new advances. So my program is also comprehensive and pragmatic. I've been in the nutrition field long enough to appreciate that views are often defended with the fervor of religious wars. I'm not afraid to take a position myself, but I try not to let any particular ideology limit me. I'm most interested in real world results and my recommendations cross several boundaries. </p> <p> In order of <span style="font-weight: bold;">priority</span>, here is how I rank the different sources of nutrients (or chemicals) that we can consume. </p> <p> </p> <ol> <li>Superfoods consumed as real meals (not simply smoothies, etc.)</li> <li>Superfood supplements incorporated into meals or taken on their own</li> <li>Food-based supplements (including full spectrum herbs)</li> <li>Moderately isolated or fractionized nutrients</li> <li>Nutraceuticals</li> <li>Pharmaceuticals</li> </ol> <ol> </ol> <p> The idea is that we want to use <span style="font-weight: bold;">pharmaceuticals as a last option</span>. Pharmaceuticals do have a place, but their use should ideally be limited and/or short term. However, when I recommend a supplement program for a specific individual I put their specific needs above this <span style="font-style: italic;">general</span> philosophy. While I myself take very few nutraceuticals, I have recommended a program featuring more nutraceuticals to some FitEyes&nbsp; members based on their specific needs. But as I mentioned, this document is not a recommendation for you -- it is my own overall approach. (If you want a personal recommendation, please see information at the bottom.) </p> <p> What many people do not realize is that the "health food industry" has virtually been taken over by a pharmaceutical philosophy -- the philosophy of isolating so-called active ingredients, making these <span style="font-weight: bold;">isolated</span> active ingredients as strong as possible, designing patented or proprietary versions of them, targeting them for actions that <span style="font-weight: bold;">manipulate our biochemistry for narrow goals</span> rather than support the body's natural healing, etc. All of this is a profit-driven <span style="font-weight: bold;">drug-like</span> approach and it is driving almost all dietary supplement development today. I do not think it is a healthy trend. </p> <p> Therefore, I distinguish between natural supplements and nutraceuticals. And I also try to restrict my use of nutraceuticals in an intelligent way. However, like pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals have a place. I do not rule out either pharmaceuticals or nutraceuticals on the basis of ideology. But I respect their potential for <span style="font-weight: bold;">serious side effects</span>. </p> <p> And there are many cases where there is a natural option available that has <span style="font-weight: bold;">zero downside</span>. In those cases, I almost always advocate for the option that is closer to the top of my list above (i.e., superfoods first and pharmaceuticals last). But when there is a clear advantage to moving down the list (toward nutraceuticals or pharmaceuticals) I do that. Sometimes the more natural choice is not available or not as <span style="font-weight: bold;">efficacious</span>. </p> <p> However, in reviewing this list I hope you realize that many, many times, the more natural choice is both available and at least as efficacious -- sometimes more so. Often the more natural choice is the better choice for our health <span style="font-weight: bold;">in every way</span>. </p> <p> As you read through the entire program below, keep in mind that I am not taking all of these supplements all the time. I do use my berry concoction twice a day every day. And I use the superfoods all the time as well. But, for example, I am not taking carnitine right now even though top glaucoma experts, including Dr. Robert Ritch, recommend it to their patients. I list it because it is an important nutraceutical for glaucoma and many FitEyes members use it and have given strong testimonials in favor of it (and other nutraceuticals on this list). In the comprehensive information below I will share the nutraceuticals I personally take as well as those recommended by <span style="font-weight: bold;">top glaucoma specialists</span>. </p> <p> My program, as listed here, is comprehensive. Implementing this is a matter of selecting a <span style="font-weight: bold;">subset</span> of this full program. As I said above, I focus on all the things toward the top of my priority list above and I use only a few things from categories 5 and 6. However, someone could build their own ideal supplement program entirely from my list of nutraceuticals below. I have certainly included every nutraceutical recommended by top glaucoma experts. In many cases I have found higher quality nutraceuticals than these experts recommend (simply on the basis of doing product research). In other cases I have found the best values (for example, <a href="http://estore.fiteyes.com/collections/healthy-origins">Healthy Origins CoQ10</a> or <a href="http://estore.fiteyes.com/products/magtein-magnesium-l-threonate-667mg-90-cap-by-now-foods">NOW Foods Magtein</a>). A valid subset of my program could certainly focus on categories 5 and 6. </p> <p> <img alt="eat berries for glaucoma and healthy vision" src="http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0230/4107/files/Berries-618x250.jpg?1894" style="width: 618px; height: 250px;" align="right" hspace="5" vspace="2">I have organized my recommendations into these groups based on the guiding principles described above. </p> <ol> <li>My berry concoction - "<span style="font-weight: bold;">every glaucoma patient should consume berries every day</span>" ~ Dr. Greger <br> </li> <li>My superfood-based super nutrient program (much of this is incorporated into my food) <br> </li> <li>David's food-based supplement recommendations (leaves out some common glaucoma nutraceuticals) <br> </li> <li>The ophthalmologist-recommended nutraceutical program (extra supplements not in David's program, but possibly essential for many people) </li> </ol> <p> My idea is that <span style="font-weight: bold;">every glaucoma patient should use the "berry concoction" every day</span>. This is beyond question. </p> <p> And <span style="font-weight: bold;">every glaucoma patient</span> should use most of the <span style="font-weight: bold;">superfood-based super nutrient program daily</span>. (There is room for variation in the specific product recommendations based on personal preferences or needs.) </p> <p> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Next, most of us should use many of the natural supplements in my food-based supplement recommendations</span>. If we wish, we could fine tune this. For example if someone has normal tension glaucoma, they probably don't need <a href="http://estore.fiteyes.com/search?q=forskolin">Forskolin</a> for its potential IOP reducing actions (but an NTG patient with poor circulation might include Forskolin for its heart-contraction-boosting quality). And a person interested in Ayurveda might want to fine tune the herbs based on body type. But most of the items on this list are of importance for most glaucoma patients. The supplements are also mostly food-based, so there is a higher degree of safety compared to nutraceuticals. </p> <p> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Finally, there is the nutraceutical list</span>. Many of the nutraceutical decisions will be personal and will depend on one's own state of health, state of vision, rate of glaucoma progression and many other factors. If your vision is good and stable, your overall health is good and you have no specific issues, you might choose just a few of the nutraceuticals. </p> <p> I should mention that I put isolated vitamins or minerals in the nutraceutical category. Some people might disagree with that categorization, but if you truly understand my approach you will see why I do it. It fits the way most of these supplements are actually used in glaucoma management. However, if used simply to make up for dietary deficiencies, I would not categorize vitamins and minerals as nutraceuticals. For example, a good case can be made for supplementing with boron because the average diet supplies 1 mg per day, but we require 3 to 6 mg daily to reduce calcium loss and support joint and bone health. </p> <p> On the other hand, those of us with glaucoma progression or specific health issues will almost certainly want to consider more of the nutraceuticals (and, of course, consult with your doctor). While I do try to minimize the nutraceuticals, I am even more interested in minimizing pharmaceuticals. Therefore, if taking more nutraceuticals allows me to reduce or eliminate a pharmaceutical, I will do it. I can envision many glaucoma patients consuming the <span style="font-weight: bold;">entire nutraceutical list</span>. <span style="font-weight: bold;">If that is what it takes to slow or stop glaucoma progression, it is certainly worth it.</span> </p> <p> There is almost no redundancy or needless duplication in my list. You could take every item on all of my lists below and not be wasting your resources. In contrast, when I review the supplements lists most people are taking, I see a lot of redundancy or needless duplication -- even potentially <span style="font-weight: bold;">dangerous duplication</span>. Many people take way too many synthetic B-complex vitamins or too much isolated beta-carotene (which shows up in many vision formulas, for example) or too much isolated DHA. My program eliminates these problems. If there is any "redundancy" it is in the form of superfoods such as berries, and rather than being a problem, this is a <span style="font-weight: bold;">benefit</span> in my program. </p> <p> The main downside to my program is that you may end up using more <span style="font-weight: bold;">separate products</span>. But the price to using "formulation" products (such as vision formulas, multivitamins or other formulas) include all these drawbacks and more: </p> <p> </p> <ul> <li>no formulation product contains <span style="font-weight: bold;">everything</span>, so you still end up using multiple products</li> <li>the formulation products are what lead to redundancy of nutrients and potentially <span style="font-weight: bold;">dangerous levels of consumption</span> of a few highly marketed ingredients that are in almost all formulas</li> <li>the formulation products <span style="font-weight: bold;">never contain the best quality ingredients</span> for all their ingredients. There is always some compromise in quality. Often, the quality of every single ingredient is compromised.</li> <li>the formulation products almost never provide <span style="font-weight: bold;">sufficient potency</span> of key ingredients to match the clinical results seen in the studies.</li> </ul> <p> My program avoids all those problems, even when including all the nutraceuticals. In over 30 years of being involved in the dietary supplement industry and searching for ideal ways to obtain all the nutrients, I have never found any program that would achieve the kinds of goals most glaucoma patients wish to achieve while relying largely on <span style="font-style: italic;">formulation supplements</span>. Often, as soon as you introduce even one of these products the problems start. However, in the interest of putting practicality ahead of pure ideology, I do make exceptions to this rule. For example, I often use <a href="http://estore.fiteyes.com/search?q=Antioxidant+Extreme+by+HealthForce">Antioxidant Extreme by HealthForce</a> (a good product) and I sometimes use one of the <a href="http://estore.fiteyes.com/search?q=mitochondrial+life+extension">Mitochondrial-focused products by Life Extension</a>. (I can explain when/why I would do that.) But when I do that, I have to carefully re-examine the full program for redundancy or excessive intake levels. In the end, it is more work to use the formulation products correctly. And if you don't have convenience, using these products makes absolutely no sense. </p> <p> While a program based on a lot of separate products may not initially seems as convenient or simple, my experience is that it becomes both more convenient and simpler -- as well as being much more flexible and efficacious. When does it become this? In exactly the circumstances where we would obtain the benefits we seek. In other words, if you are not serious about achieving real results from your supplements, then just do whatever seems easy or convenient. But the second you demand <span style="font-weight: bold;">real results,</span> a program based on a lot of separate products becomes <span style="font-weight: bold;">more convenient, simpler, more flexible and much more efficacious</span>. That's my experience. </p> <p> However, travel can present challenges when we are consuming a lot of supplements. I once traveled to South America with an extra suitcase filled almost entirely with supplements! Once of my supplements was Vitamin C powder (a white powder). And one of my stops was Bogotá, Colombia! Fortunately, the supplements did not present any problems, even to this destination and back (where white powder usually means something illegal). But traveling with supplements can be inconvenient at times. What I have found is that when I am using a food-based supplement program, the body does not object to missing certain supplements while on occasional vacations. With nutraceuticals, my experience is that they are more like prescription drugs. The body comes to depend on them and we don't want to haphazardly stop taking them. </p> <p> Therefore, here is my recommendation. When it comes to the superfood powders and the superfood juice concentrates, if it is too inconvenient to travel with them and you don't travel that often, just leave them at home when you travel. If you travel more frequently, I can recommend capsules for use while you are traveling. But I still recommend the powders and juice concentrates when you are at home because these provide more for the money (and they are completely free of all capsule materials, fillers, tablet binding agents, excipients, etc.) (I always recommend <a href="http://estore.fiteyes.com/collections/paradise-herbs">Paradise Herbs products</a> because all their capsules are completely free of all those other ingredients.) If you absolutely do not want powders or liquids at all, I can recommend things like <a href="http://estore.fiteyes.com/collections/paradise-herbs/products/orac-energy-greens-120-veggie-caps-by-paradise-herbs">Paradise Herbs green superfood (ORAC Energy Greens) in capsules</a> and superfruits such as <a href="http://estore.fiteyes.com/collections/paradise-herbs/products/acai-400mg-60-caps-by-paradise-herbs">Acai</a>, <a href="http://estore.fiteyes.com/collections/paradise-herbs/products/mangosteen-400-mg-60-veggie-caps-by-paradise-herbs">Mangosteen</a> and <a href="http://estore.fiteyes.com/collections/paradise-herbs/products/maqui-berry-400-mg-60-veggie-caps-by-paradise-herbs">Maqui berry</a> in capsules. And since most of our nutraceuticals of interest are already in capsules, that part of the program doesn't need to change. Do take your nutraceuticals when you travel. </p> <p> Because my overall program is food-based, it is not designed entirely around isolated nutrient dosages. For example, I do not believe it is enough to take X milligrams of reservatrol, Y milligrams of quercetin, Z units of vitamin D3 and so on down a list. While those values have meaning, <span style="font-weight: bold;">they are not enough</span> alone. That's one of the principles of a superfood program. We cannot replace eating an apple with taking a pill. Likewise, we cannot replace berries with a capsule of anthocyanidins and other isolated chemicals. And we cannot achieve optimal well-being simply by pursuing target values for blood chemistry or urine tests, especially when that pursuit primarily utilizes pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals. This chemistry-driven approach certainly dominates segments of the "health" industry (such as life extension and bodybuilding). I have experience with both those segments going back decades. </p> <p> I do not think you can replace tart cherries, olive oil, ghee, flax seed meal or any of the superfoods with a handful of pills. </p> <p> Therefore, my overall supplement program is not designed around a list such as X milligrams of reservatrol, Y milligrams of quercetin, etc. But I do consider those kinds of dosages guidelines for the nutraceuticals. (However, in some cases the right dose is as much as you can afford. In other cases, nobody [including top scientists] knows the optimal dose.) </p> <p> OK, here are my superfoods and supplements: </p> <p> </p> <ul> <li> <h2><a href="http://www.fiteyes.com/every-glaucoma-patient-should-eat-berries-every-day">My amazing berry concoction</a></h2> </li> <li> <h2><a href="http://www.fiteyes.com/best-glaucoma-superfood-for-super-healthy-eyesight">My superfood-based super nutrient program</a></h2> </li> <li> <h2><a href="http://www.fiteyes.com/best-natural-glaucoma-dietary-supplements">My natural glaucoma supplements</a></h2> </li> <li> <h2><a href="http://www.fiteyes.com/best-glaucoma-nutraceuticals-for-stopping-glaucoma-progression">Top nutraceutical glaucoma supplements</a></h2> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.fiteyes.com/davids-glaucoma-nutraceuticals">David's limited selection of nutraceutical glaucoma supplements</a></li> </ul> </li> <li> <h2><a href="http://www.fiteyes.com/special-glaucoma-nutraceuticals">Special considerations</a></h2> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.fiteyes.com/davids-extra-glaucoma-eyesight-healthy-supplements">David's special considerations list</a> &nbsp;</li> </ul> </li> </ul> <p> (With a consultation I will often include medicinal spices too.) </p> <p> For more information that may help you decide which nutraceuticals to use, read the product info at each link above.

I'm happy to enter into any discussion there. </p> <p> I will be revising, refining and improving my supplement recommendations over time. As new research comes out, as new feedback from the FitEyes community comes in, as new products come out, I will improve this list. This is version 1.2. The main new additions to my program in this version are <a href="http://estore.fiteyes.com/products/lions-mane-hericium-erinaceus-by-paradise-herbs">Lion's Mane</a> and a few <a href="http://estore.fiteyes.com/collections/paradise-herbs">new Paradise Herbs products</a>. </p> <p> My final reminder is to give highest priority to <b>healthy lifestyle</b> factors. Include time for meditating, exercising and sleeping well. If you have stress in your life, invest your time learning <a href="http://sereneimpulse.com/" target="_blank">meditation</a>. Supplements -- even those that claim to help with stress -- will not be as effective as a good meditation program for managing stress. If the supplement recommendations seem too complex or too complicated, I can do a telephone <a href="http://estore.fiteyes.com/products/personal-health-and-wellness-consultation-60-minutes-with-david">consultation</a> as an educator. I cannot prescribe supplements to treat any specific medical conditions, but I can teach you more about the supplements, describe what each one does, mention related research, and generally discuss the various products with you. I can help make it less overwhelming. After the call, I will send you a personalized version of the list above with the subset of the supplements that are most relevant to your needs and goals. </p> <p> Regards, <br> David </p> </div>

Medical Specialists Support Self-Monitoring of Eye Pressure by Glaucoma Patients;</p> <p><strong>Home Monitoring has Potential to Transform Glaucoma Treatment, Says Co-Author of Recent Journal Article</strong></p> <p><img alt="self-tonometry eye pressure monitoring" src="/sites/fiteyes.com/files/self-tonometry_ReichertAT555.jpeg" height="250" align="left" hspace="10" vspace="5" width="329" />Growing recognition among leading ophthalmologists and glaucoma specialists of an alternative option for measuring pressure in the eye may offer new hope for four million Americans – and millions more people worldwide – who risk permanent blindness, says a co-author of a recent article in the Survey of Ophthalmology.</p> <!--break--><p> Elevated pressure within the eye is the largest risk factor for developing glaucoma and partial or complete loss of vision, but is typically measured only once every few months in a doctor’s office, says the author of <em><strong>Self-tonometry in Glaucoma Management—Past, Present and Future</strong></em>.  Only a relatively small proportion of glaucoma patients now measure their own eye pressure, which constantly varies throughout the day.  For these patients, practicing home monitoring (also called self-tonometry) profoundly enhanced their ability to partner with their doctors to manage their condition.</p> <p>“Home monitoring creates a robust set of eye pressure data that allows glaucoma patients and their doctors to make better decisions about medication and surgery than they otherwise would be able,” he says.  “By better understanding the factors, including stress, that affect eye pressure through the course of the day, patients are also empowered to make appropriate lifestyle choices.” </p> <p>Prominent ophthalmologists and glaucoma specialists from <strong>Australia, Hong Kong, Africa, India and the United States</strong> convened in July at the World Glaucoma Congress in a meeting organized by <a href="/"><strong>FitEyes.com</strong></a> to discuss the benefits of self-tonometry and to hear directly from patients with experience doing home monitoring.  The event was also attended by representatives of a leading tonometer manufacturer. (A tonometer is a device that measures the pressure in the eye.)</p> <p><strong>Dr. Robert Ritch</strong>, a leading glaucoma expert, says: “Self-monitoring is a core tenet of management of numerous medical conditions. For instance, most physicians treating diabetes want to know details of how a patient's blood sugar responds to diet and activities throughout the normal course of daily life.”</p> <p>“Self-tonometry, once the patient is familiar with the equipment needed, is easy and accurate. Previously, the high cost of the equipment and lack of awareness among both patients and medical professionals have been barriers to a more widespread adoption of this technique,” Dr. Ritch says. </p> <p>Dr. Ritch continues, “If opened to more patients, self-tonometry could not only help current patients, but also provide important data on eye pressure that could be used in research, possibly leading to updated treatments and preventions.”</p> <p>As part of an effort to expand home monitoring of eye pressure by glaucoma patients, <a href="/"><strong>FitEyes.com</strong></a> will:</p> <ul><li>Educate eye care professionals and patients on the benefits of home monitoring of eye pressure.</li> <li>Help glaucoma patients find the right tonometer and learn how to use it to accurately observe their own eye pressure.  </li> <li>Design and administer self-tonometry-based research studies. </li> <li>Provide assistance and support groups over the phone and Internet for patients practicing home monitoring. </li> <li>Perform statistical analysis and other proprietary eye pressure data analysis for ophthalmologists to find patterns in the eye-pressure data of patients under their care in order to help them better manage their patient's condition. The analysis will be based on the eye pressure data collected by the patient using self-tonometry. </li> <li>Encourage and conduct formal research studies using robust self-tonometry data. </li> <li>Support the development by manufacturers of lower-cost tonometers designed for patient-use.</li> </ul><p>One glaucoma patient says, “I have taken many thousands of self-tonometry measurements, so I know first-hand how simple and helpful it can be. Without the objective data obtained via home monitoring, I felt like my doctors and I were in the dark. In a very real sense, self-tonometry can be enlightening.”</p> <p>Dr. Ritch also wants to make everyone aware that <a href="/"><strong>FitEyes.com</strong></a> is an excellent resource for self-monitoring of eye pressure. Dr. Ritch says, "David Shields, founder of FitEyes.com, has become one of the world's leading experts on self-tonometry."</p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-taxonomy-vocabulary-2

class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p> <meta charset="utf-8" />Hi all,</p> <p>I feel like I need to jump in here [in response to the discussion going on in the FitEyes email group].  I have had my tonometer for almost 6 months.  It has answered a multitude of questions about how my daily routine affects my health.  I didn't know, for example, that just taking a walk outside for a half hour or so would reduce my eye pressure, sometimes by as much as 50%.  I also didn't know that I <b>wasn't </b>one of the people whose pressures are higher at night--in fact my lowest pressures are at night.  (That was good news.  I was tired of sleeping with my head elevated).  I didn't know that my pressures are often lower after going to a movie--unlike those whose pressures are higher after a movie.  And, I was able to see that drinking a lot of any fluid at one time raises my eye pressure.  </p> <p>I, like David, have found <b>no</b> supplements (and I know a lot about supplements) that had any effect on lowering my IOP, but I have found that some supplements will raise my IOP quite significantly (triphala for instance).  I know that out of control thoughts and periods of stress significantly raise my IOP in spite of the two drops I am using or any other healthy lifestyle choices I am making.  ( I haven't as yet taken advantage of the Serene Impulse training.  That will probably be my next step when employment issues are resolved.)</p> <p>I have gathered a significant amount of data over the last 6 months about what I can do to prevent the loss of vision in my only good eye.  (The right eye had a trab, but a little too late)  When I presented this data to my very competent ophthalmologist, he didn't even want to see it.  I tried to explain some of the things I had found, and he said as he made his way for the door, "Well, just keep taking walks."  The truth is, his job is to be a surgeon when my pressures get out of control.  He can give me drops to see if they will control it, but his concern ends there.  I am the one who is responsible for keeping my vision.  I can't give the task to him, he has enough to do.  I feel blessed to have found David and fiteyes.  Now, I feel I have a little control over what seemed to me an inevitable negative outcome.  </p> <p>Best to all</p> </div></div></div><div class="field

align="right" width="200" vspace="10" hspace="5" height="200" src="/sites/fiteyes.com/files/Reichert-7CR_4-4.jpg" alt="" />First of all, from the bottom of my heart, I have to thank Dave for leading me to my purchase of my tonometer; what a fantastic instrument!</p> <p>Several years ago, my ophthalmologist said that I probably had what is called "normal pressure" glaucoma; my pressure was usually 15-16 whenever he checked me, and the highest he ever recorded was 19 on my right eye. He told me to find a glaucoma specialist, so I did.</p> <p>I went to the specialist for a couple of years, but several things discouraged me from continuing to see him. I found another ophthalmologist; she was somewhat younger and, I thought, perhaps less apt to be running a Speede Oil Change type of service, to see how many people she could get through her clinic in a day. She was a bit better at the latter, but she refused to give me a prescription for a tonometer. I left her and quickly acquired a tonometer prescription; and by the way, the requirement for a prescription for a non-contact tonometer is as silly as the need for me to have a real estate broker's license to sell real estate, or for a city to have building inspectors.</p> <!--break--><p>Are we really so stupid that we need the okay from government for everything? Had it been this way a hundred years ago, the Wright Brothers would never have gone beyond building a sturdy bicycle.</p> <p>Due to an out of town trip, I just got a chance to use a tonometer suitable for home use. The instrument gives two readings:</p> <ul><li>One is equal to a properly calibrated Goldmann Applanation Tonometer (GAT) used by ophthalmologists;</li> <li>The other is a reading that is better than GAT because it compensates for influences from corneal visco-elasticity and thickness; also, it gives a score that shows how reliable the measurement data are, with 1 being lowest and 10 being highest; a score of 9-10 means the computer has determined one has done a good measurement.</li> </ul><p>I was shocked at the instrument's accuracy. I awoke this morning at 2:20 and checked my IOP: The GAT would have read 18.9 in the right eye, and 18.0 in the left eye; but with the Corneal Compensated reading, I had pressures of 22.1 and 21 respectively. Yikes! So I did not have "normal pressure" glaucoma; I have real glaucoma. No telling what times of the day or night I had pressures nearing 30 or more prior to taking prescribed eye drops (currently three kinds).</p> <p>Two things my ophthalmologists never told me:</p> <ol><li>"Glaucoma is an extremely serious disease";</li> <li>"We're fools for leading patients to believe that we can monitor eye pressure by having them come into our office and use a second-class instrument to check your IOP once every three to six months!"</li> </ol><p>So if you have glaucoma, beg, borrow, or do whatever you must to obtain a real tonometer, preferably the Reichert 7CR. The latter is easier to use than a cell phone. Also, find an ophthalmologist that practices common sense and is doing everything he/she can for the good of your eyes.</p> <p>I'm anxious to join the FitEyes group and their ongoing reasearch. And I'm looking forward to controling this lousy disease with as little conventional medicine as possible.</p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-taxonomy-vocabulary-2 field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-inline inline clearfix"><h3 class="field-label">Filed Under (tags): </h3><ul class="links inline"><li class="taxonomy-term-reference-0"><a href="/tags/intraocular-pressure">intraocular pressure</a></li><li class="taxonomy-term-reference-1"><a href="/tags/tonometer">tonometer</a></li><li class="taxonomy-term-reference-2"><a href="/tags/air-puff">air puff</a></li><li class="taxonomy-term-reference-3"><a href="/tags/Eye-Pressure">Eye Pressure</a></li><li class="taxonomy-term-reference-4"><a href="/tags/tonometers">tonometers</a></li></ul></div> Tue, 27 Apr 2010 04:38:10 +0000 Maurice Dubois 827 at https://www.fiteyes.com Home Eye Pressure Monitoring Recommended https://www.fiteyes.com/home-eye-pressure-monitoring-recommended <div class="sharethis-buttons"><div class="sharethis-wrapper"><span st_url="https://www.fiteyes.com/home-eye-pressure-monitoring-recommended" st_title="Home%20Eye%20Pressure%20Monitoring%20Recommended" class="st_facebook_large" displayText="facebook"></span> <span st_url="https://www.fiteyes.com/home-eye-pressure-monitoring-recommended" st_title="Home%20Eye%20Pressure%20Monitoring%20Recommended" class="st_twitter_large" displayText="twitter" st_via="" st_username=""></span> <span st_url="https://www.fiteyes.com/home-eye-pressure-monitoring-recommended" st_title="Home%20Eye%20Pressure%20Monitoring%20Recommended" class="st_sharethis_large" displayText="sharethis" st_via="" st_username=""></span> </div></div> <div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>Millions of people around the world should be monitoring their eye pressure (intraocular pressure) at home, according to health organizations (such as  <a href="/blog/dave/leading-medical-specialists-from-around-the-world-coalesce-around-self-tonometry">International Society for Self-Tonometry (ISST)</a>) that are issuing recommendations on what to do and how to do it. Many experts, such as <a href="/forum/still-confused-after-15-years-614#comment-1107">Dr. Graham Lee</a>, feel the evidence is quite strong that home eye pressure monitoring leads to better control of intraocular pressure, and the evidence is quite strong that intraocular pressure control lowers the risk of glaucoma progression and optic nerve cell death.</p> <p>Home eye pressure monitoring also gives patients the physiologic feedback they need to see regarding how their daily activities and their stress levels affect eye pressure.</p> <p>According to recent findings, a minority of the people with elevated eye pressure have it fully under control, so new approaches are needed to get better control. Frequent self-tonometry (home eye pressure monitoring) with currently available technology is the best solution, according to glaucoma expert <a href="/Great-Physicians-_2D00_-Robert-Ritch-_2D00_-Glaucoma-specialist">Dr. Robert Ritch</a>.</p> <p>Currently, glaucoma patients need to obtain their doctor's permission to purchase a tonometer for use at home. <a href="/">FitEyes.com</a>, an online community for eye pressure research, includes, as members, many glaucoma patients who have purchased tonometers. For patients who have their doctor's permission to purchase a tonometer, <a href="/">FitEyes.com</a> can be an excellent resource. You can  <a href="/contact">contact FitEyes.com</a> via email to learn more. Glaucoma patients in the FitEyes community have a wealth of personal experience, and, as a group, they have interacted with almost all the tonometer manufacturers in the world. Before any glaucoma patient purchases a tonometer, we recommend that you check with the community at <a href="/">FitEyes.com</a> to learn the experiences of other patients.</p> <p>Home eye pressure monitoring opens the door to totally new and innovative ways of managing glaucoma and intraocular pressure.</p> <p>The future will be telemedicine. You will take your own eye pressure at home and transmit it to a computer, and someone, either a physician or another caregiver, will make recommendations for adjustments in your medication, exercise, diet, lifestyle or stress management. The <a href="/blog/dave/leading-medical-specialists-from-around-the-world-coalesce-around-self-tonometry">International Society for Self-Tonometry (ISST)</a>) research program will include many of these capabilities, including the ability to take your eye pressure at home and transmit it over the Internet to our research database. From there, ISST hopes to let glaucoma patients can consult with qualified experts regarding exercise, diet, lifestyle or stress management techniques that may help the patient manage their intraocular pressure better.</p> <p>The day will come when out-of-the-office intraocular pressure data becomes the primary data ophthalmologists use to make treatment decisions because it is a far better source of information than what is currently used.</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/14029268@N07/2518077133/" title="Tiolat iCare rebound tonometer by fiteyes.com, on Flickr"><img align="left" alt="Tiolat iCare rebound tonometer" border="0" height="240" hspace="4" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3186/2518077133_f6e042a907_m.jpg" title="Tiolat iCare rebound tonometer" width="161" /></a>For those who want to participate in ISST's self-tonometry program, the future is here, according to medical articles such as <a href="/forum/self-tonometry-in-glaucoma-management-past-present-and-future-603">Self-tonometry in glaucoma management--past, present and future</a>.

In one study, NTG glaucoma subjects showed significantly increased blood flows at key sites in the eye and none of the subjects showed progression of their visual field defects.

Maca’s nutritional components include medicinal terpenoids and saponins, alkaloids, essential amino acids, fatty acids,vitamins, minerals, trace minerals and powerful antioxidants. It is said to promote endurance, energy, vitality and stamina and to improve sexual function and virility. The ancient Inca worshiped it as a sacred plant. Of great interest to glaucoma patients, one recent study noted that Maca was able to increase endothelial L-arginine-nitric oxide activity significantly! That's great news. Maca is an adaptogen. As such, it increases the body’s resistance to stress, trauma, anxiety and fatigue. I think adaptogens are important in glaucoma for correcting the underlying mitochondrial dysfunction that ultimately leads to nerve cell death. Physician Hyla Cass, MD, says maca works. "In my practice, I have seen maca restore hormonal imbalance ... in both men and women." Dr. Mercola says, "Be sure to avoid the inexpensive varieties, as they typically don't work."<br> </td> <td class="dose-cell"><br> </td> </tr> <tr class="organic-pumpkin-seed-butter-20-oz-by-jarrow-formulas-omega-nutrition item"> <td class="product-photo-cell"> <div style="text-align: center;"> <a href="http://estore.fiteyes.com/products/organic-pumpkin-seed-butter-20-oz-by-jarrow-formulas-omega-nutrition"><img src="http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0230/4107/products/JRW-33501-7_thumb.jpeg?v=1403479604" alt="Organic Pumpkin Seed Butter 20 oz by Jarrow Formulas Omega Nutrition"></a></div> </td> <td class="product-title-cell"> <a href="http://estore.fiteyes.com/products/organic-pumpkin-seed-butter-20-oz-by-jarrow-formulas-omega-nutrition">Organic Pumpkin Seed Butter 20 oz by Jarrow Formulas Omega Nutrition</a></td> <td class="description-cell"><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">See the product page at link to the left.
