He can't see you well but he sees figures He says he had glaucoma in 2019 and had gone to the specialist hospital but they did not help him His sight has been bad since and his wife and three children left him Pls, any recommendations as to herbs or concotions he could take to relieve him or help him a bit Thanks |

I was finally diagnosed of glaucoma this year and thank God it was detected early. I am on eye drops now. So he should go to Lasuth so that the other eye can be preserved. One thing thing about glaucoma is that there is no cure except miracle and the remaining eye sight needs to be preserved. |

Glaucoma causes gradual loss of sight. And for him to lose his sight, it has been giving him signs like loss of peripheral vision. This loss of peripheral vision means you won't be objects in the corner of your sight but central vision is preserved, meaning he can see directly if he looks straight. Gradually this peripheral keeps getting worse til the central vision is lost. And that's lights out. And this takes months or years. For him to be ignoring this is plain stupidity. They would keep on praying and fasting til their sight goes. And Nigerians don’t take their health serious. They tell you they have supernatural health and do no regular checks. Unfortunately when that optic disc is destroyed by the intraocular eye pressure we can't do much. There are experimental procedures we can attempt but its too expensive ad not 100% guaranteed. There are philantropic opthalmologists or agencies offering free eye surgeries. You can drop his location so I can check when next they show around his region. |

Sammiegreg:Glaucoma usually follows some chronic diseases like diabetes mellitus, hypertension and sickle cell. Hope the ophthalmologists checked you out for them |
