Why you cannot give atropine to glaucoma patients ?
398423
Atropine effect the muscles in the eye that are responsible for contarcting and dilating the iris. When atropine is administered these muscles are temporarily paralysed and dilate. This dilation causes the the flow of liquid (aqueous humor) to be restricted thus raising the pressure within the eyeball.\nOne of the main symptoms of Glaucoma (specifically acute angle closure glaucoma) is an increase in pressure with the eye ball that causes pain and damage to the optic nerve and requires emergency treatment. Therefore any drug that will cause an increase in the pressure within the eye ball will not be administered to patients with acute angle closure glaucoma.

I am a Certified Pharmacy Technician.\nYes, they actually put a hold on the drug due to breathing issues.  Smokers can not use the medication.  Also, there was an issue with the absorbtion rate of the mediaction in the system.

Most forms of Glaucoma can be treated so probably not. It is not the kind of condition that would keep a person from working unless it was severe or had been untreated for a long time. What they would look at would be the ability to see.

Get some Suedafed, as long as you dont have blood pressure problems.  That'll help.  Just ask your Pharmacist.

BECAUSE the consequences of unmanaged glaucoma are so devastating (blindness).  Many medications have the potential to worsen glaucoma or counteract the medicines used to treat it -- since the result can be so significant, they tell you not to use this medicine without your Dr's knowledge and approval.

Besides the obvious  (taking a pill)...\n\nCould be withdrawl from Caffeine (if you stopped drinking coffee or Cola).   Or need to get Eyes checked.

I think it is used for glaucoma.  It is some type of eye disease, but I am not sure if the pot is to help with the symptoms or to control pain.  I know some people with chronic pain also use pot.  If it helped me, I know I would.  There are worse things out there that people use to medicate themselves, and most are legal.  Go figure.

I have a brother who is blind. Due to optic nerve damage. From what we have been told. There is nothing medical that can be done. However nerves can, and have been known to rejuvenate on their own.

It is chemical, so they need medication.  Often with medication such patients can lead a normal life.

Although normal intraocular pressure is generally considered to be below 22-24 mmHg (millimeters of mercury), there is much variability in "normal" for different persons.  One person may have an IOP (intraocular pressure) of 28 and not have glaucoma, while another may have an IOP of 16 and have severe glaucoma (so-called "normal or low tension glaucoma).  Bottom line is that all persons at risk for glaucoma (everyone over 50 years of age, and anyone who has a family history of glaucoma) should be examined by an eye doctor at regular intervals.\n\nThe "right time for laser treatment" is unique to each patient and determined by severity of glaucoma, response of IOP to medical treatment, and other factors which require evaluation by an ophthalmologist (eye physician & surgeon).

Diabetes causes the accumulation of sorbitol in ur eye,causing increased pressure(glaucoma),but it doesn't help infect your eye.Diabetes in general causes complications in cases of open wounds,it promotes gangrene in big cuts,(colistridium prefrenges is sugar fermenting)

its temporary\nbut if you wore goggles it could be avoided possibly\n\nNO do not put eye drops in, because there are chemicals in the eye drops and you don't want to mix those chemicals with the chemicals already in your eyes, it could be dangerous for your eyes

I second nightmares answer, and you dont even have to smoke enough to get stoned, you might get a "little" high . but one hit from the right stuff should be sufficient to relieve glaucoma.
