		<title>Seeking Treatment/Evaluation Advice for Advanced Glaucoma</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Question:
Great Post&#44; Sherry! &#160;All I would add is that if your friend has had a  50% drop in eye pressure with these meds and currently hovers in the  low to mid teens&#44; that is likely to be sufficient to prevent any  significant futher loss of vision. &#160;If he can get the drops&#44; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Viagra and Cialis&#039; Connection to Blindness Investigated</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Question:
Anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AION) is not similar to glaucoma in  symptoms or etiology. &#160;AION is very much like a stroke to the optic  nerve that causes immediate and usually permanent visual loss (although  not complete&#8230;patients are often 20/400&#44; and the loss may only involve  the upper or lower half of [...]]]></description>

&#62;It can also cut down on the long-term cost of medications&#44; he said.  &#62;&#34;The surgery pays for itself in under three years&#44;&#34; he said. &#34;There is  no  &#62;question that there are cost savings.&#34; 
If there is no question&#44; then there&#8217;s no need for legislation.  Does anybody believe that if this saved [...]]]></description>

		<title>Nasonex</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Question:
Hi&#44; all&#44;  My internist is suggesting I switch from Allegra-D pills to Nasonex  nasal spray to treat my allergies because of dry-mouth problems.  However&#44; I&#8217;m concerned because it&#8217;s a corticosteroid.  Does anyone know anything about its safety for glaucoma patients?  Thanks&#44;  Laura

Hi Tom  How can you seriously contemplate using an illicit drug&#44; which has never had  any research attached to it&#44; and is acknowledged as being harmful to your  general system&#44; to address a local (eye) problem when you cannot measure the  effectiveness of the treatment&#44; since no qualified practitioner would ever [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s been a long time. My pupils were dilated and the back of my eyes  examined. I don&#8217;t recall certainty of damage&#44; only that the pressure would  eventually cause damage. This doc bought my previous doc&#8217;s practice. That  was my first and last visit.

		<title>Ophthalmic beta-blockers and Bradycardia</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Question:
Thanks for the reply. I have now replaced Cosopt by just the Trusopt  component&#44; thus eliminating the beta-blocker (timolol). I am wondering  how one measures the timolol residue in the body as alluded to in your  post.Heart rate this AM was 54 instead of the previous 45-46&#44; but we&#8217;ll  see.
