I went for a six-monthly eye check up today and got some good news. About 10 years ago I was told I had glaucoma. Today I discovered that it isn't glaucoma, just high pressure which is easily controlled with the eye drops I have been using all along for glaucoma.
Darn - wish it was a Glaucous Gull, not a Herring Gull, since that would have let me give the photo an even cheesier title!
This is my lovely dog "Nozomi" wearing my handmade mouse costume.
Her right eye is blind because of Glaucoma.
Every year, we have a dog Halloween party at a local park. This year, 50 fellow dogs gathered in costume👻👿🎃
There were so many dogs that my blind dog got a little scared. So, we left the park little bit earlier.
My psyche prefers a set of three connected /3 similar photographs in a sequence whenever possible but just one a day to be fair to anyone liking something to comment on. So here is bird number 3 taken in roughly the same area as the previous two. I am afraid I shall be slow to leave comments because I am home after 4 hours extensive testing of my eyes at the Neuro -Ophthalmic surgery at my local hospital.
Still no closer to finding out the cause of my problem despite scans, pressure testing, examinations of both eyes x 2
All of this today....
Only to be referred to the Glaucoma clinic... this after the first test was for Glaucoma and where I was told I didn't have signs of Glaucoma. I googled my symptoms on reaching home, which at the beginning of this eye problem starting over a year ago suggested to me 'night blindness ' my Optician then an Ophthalmologist both said I don't have this condition but my symptoms are exactly that...I had been looking at American sites because the NHS in the UK don't appear to recognise it as an actual real 'thing' if anyone I follow suffers from this I would be interested in what treatment is available.. the suggestion the consultant thought possible being removal of the tiny early cataracts and drops for Glaucoma ?????
Betagan - a medicine used to control glaucoma. This has no preservative so after use, the plastic container has to be discarded. I suppose that we humans have to accept that there will be some some single use items we can't do without. I recycle these so I hope they go to be melted down and made into other things.

Spring of 2019 I hurt my back, little did I know that was only the tip of the iceberg. I had much more wrong than a pulled back muscle. The doctors would discover that I had a nasty bacterial infection, diabetes, and glaucoma in one eye. I was a mess. I spent two months in hospital. I lost from 180lbs down to 133 lbs. I could not really do anything for myself.
Skip forward a year into recovery and walking is a big deal to me. So every morning I grab my rollator and take a walk. Some mornings it is slow and painful, and others I am full of curiosity. I like taking my camera because I never know what I may find.
This morning I found this wonderful Sunflower in bloom. I stopped to create an image. This pause in my walk opened up a conversation with my neighbour. The conversation reminded me that photography has always been my given way to communicate. It is also the way I prefer to meet new people because it opens in a pleasant way.
A walker, a camera and a curious mind...What a wonderful way to start the day.
I'm taking a bit of time out yesterday i lost my little girl my best friend Trixie and i'm heartbroken . A year ago i found out she had a tumor on her liver and nothing could be done to help her as she had a bad heart murmur which was found when she lost her eye to glaucoma . Trixie was such a brave girl ive been in awe of her . I love her so much i don't know how i'll cope without her she was my world . Take care my friends hugs and much love to you all ❤️❤️❤️
Yay, I'm back from my stay in Manchester Eye Hospital! I know some of my flickr buddies have been curious so, in brief, I needed to have drainage reconstruction surgery (a Trabeculectomy) because I have a bad case of Glaucoma. So, I have a new bionic eye but my requests for X Ray vision fell on deaf ears - which is a shame because I was looking forward to that bit!
This photo was never taken with any thought of me on the operating table but when I was going through photos to post I just thought yep, that sums it up! ! It's actually a stone sculpture that lies face up in shallow water at Trentham Gardens.
Anyway, I now have two weeks of doing nothing, another two weeks of doing very little and then two months of taking it easy so my photography is going to be a little curbed, I have a few photos in the pot to be going on with and then I'll see how it goes. I'll be visiting your pages though - no restrctions with that!
I went back to the eye doctor yesterday and he now says there was probably some nerve damage from the glaucoma, before we got the pressure down. So it's possible I'll never be able to see well with the left eye. He says he sees no reason why the right still tires so easily, although the pressure is now slightly elevated. So now I have eyedrops for the right eye also. Hopefully I'll have time later to look at pictures. HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY!!!!
Hi my friends!
Update about my eyes: they are worse day by day and I couldnt have the glaucoma surgery yet because I'm a little sick with the flu.I'm still in home 24 hours a day because I can't walk alone, but tonight I'll go out. Even with the flu!!!

a little bit of Manu Chao's gig:
"Vanda coerulea, commonly known as blue orchid, blue vanda or autumn lady's tresses,
Species native to India, Burma and Thailand. An amazing orchid with one of the closest flower colors to true blue! . When in bloom, this orchid shows off deep purple-to-blue flowers that span 4" to 6" across. To make matters more interesting, the colors intensify from a pale purple to a rich indigo over the course of 10 days.
The flower's juice is used as eye drops against glaucoma, cataract and blindness. Active ingredients of Vanda coerulea may fight against the visible signs of ageing skin."

• Fennec fox
• Fénec, feneco, zorro del desierto
The fennec fox (Vulpes zerda) is a small crepuscular fox native to the deserts of North Africa, ranging from Western Sahara and Mauritania to the Sinai Peninsula. Its most distinctive feature is its unusually large ears, which serve to dissipate heat and listen for underground prey.
Its name comes from the species' Arabic name: fanak (فَنَك), which means "little fox".
Scientific classification:
Domain:Eukaryota
Kingdom:Animalia
Phylum:Chordata
Class:Mammalia
Order:Carnivora
Infraorder:Cynoidea
Family:Canidae
Subfamily:Caninae
Tribe:Vulpini
Genus:Vulpes
Species:V. zerda
The fennec is the smallest fox species. Its coat, ears, and kidney functions have adapted to the desert environment with high temperatures and little water. It mainly eats insects, small mammals and birds. The fennec has a life span of up to 14 years in captivity and about 10 years in the wild. Its main predators are the Verreaux's eagle-owl, jackals and other large mammals. Fennec families dig out burrows in the sand for habitation and protection, which can be as large as 120 m2 (1,300 sq ft) and adjoin the burrows of other families. Precise population figures are not known but are estimated from the frequency of sightings; these indicate that the fennec is currently not threatened by extinction. Knowledge of social interactions is limited to information gathered from captive animals. The fennec's fur is prized by the indigenous peoples of North Africa, and it is considered an exotic pet in some parts of the world.
In captive fennec foxes, glaucoma is a common eye disease. Its prevalence in captive animals is due to factors like genetic predisposition (limited genetic diversity), environmental stress, lack of exercise, and age (captive animals often live longer).

Several people have asked if I plan to use marijuana for my glaucoma. There are currently eleven states that allow this and Illinois is not one. I doubt if I would be tempted if it was legal! By the way, this is actually hemp, known around here as ditchweed. I'm told it used to be grown to make rope. Now it grows wild anywhere that doesn't get mowed regularly. Pressure is higher in my left eye and I have more eye drops that are supposed to help, but nothing for pain. Thanks For Prayer!
As if when morning arrived
the day seemed beset by glaucoma,
the edges of everything a soft blur,
the light hazy, sounds muffled,
headlights a diffuse glow, the world
half-erased beyond a block and no matter
what anyone said at the corner café
about the head-on collision at the edge
of town between the school bus
and a stray cow, the fog was a message
not to be ignored, the air sodden
with the taste of diesel fuel, the mist
lingering past noon, a mild blindness
no one was sad to see finally lift.

*For Macro Monday:
This is a personal metaphor... The 'single use' item is the eye drops I use for dry eyes since the operation of my upper eyelids to improve my field of vision. I also take four other type of eye drops daily for glaucoma eye pressure. Included in this photo composition is an antique French crystal regulator clock's mercury glass tube pendulum that compensates for barometric pressure...

Estimated to be 15 or 16 years old (average life expectancy for jaguars in the Pantanal is 11-12 years), Patricia is one of the most famous and widely documented wild jaguars in Brazil's Pantanal region. Roaming the Cuiabá River and its tributaries in the Porto Jofre area, she is celebrated as a master hunter and the "Grande Dame" of the northern Pantanal. She is mother to Medrosa and grandmother to Marcela and Pantaneiro, both children of Medrosa.
Here she stopped by for an evening drink, accompanied by her son, Makala, now a year old. She is a bit grumpy in her old age and did not like the flies.
It was quite the a thrill to see such a celebrated and venerated lady. Despite having lost an eye to glaucoma, she is still as regal and majestic as ever.
My Stray Cat has developed Glaucoma and is not willing to accept any medical help.I feel sorry for the little trooper for I have eye drops and painkillers and he refuses any help.
A moment after I took this shot I noticed Blue squinting her left eye. Pulling her eyelid back her cornea looked just horrible. I thought it had burst. Put her in the car and off to the vet we went. Without an appointment we had to wait 2 1/2 hours to be seen - extremely frustrating. Her cornea had not burst but the lens/cataract in that eye had detached on the upper portion and was tilting back into her eye. You can notice it in this pic quite clearly. This caused a dramatic increase in pressure within the eye. She is on pain, anti-inflammatory meds and glaucoma drops. When we are able to see the eye specialist they will most likely recommend removing her eye. I don't care that she won't have an eye, she is blind after all, but I'm worried about the surgery at her age. Still, throughout it all, she has never been a burden in any way. Loves and trusts everyone, every situation and setting. The most amazing friend.

Don't forget to get your eyes checked. I just had my pupils dilated
and a full eye exam. I have to watch for glaucoma which runs in my family.
It means your eyes have too much pressure inside them and
it can damage the optic nerve and so your vision if not treated.
A few years ago my pressure was too high so I have to keep up on it.
This time I checked out just fine.

Misty Sunrise in Northumberland.Going through some older Raw images until I receive my glasses this week...short sighted in right and and have to have tests for Glaucoma...finding it very hard to process an image 1 foot away from screen...should get sorted hopefully....need my eyes!
A boxing Day stroll out to Pew Tor, there was some mist and fog in the area and although finding Beckamoor Cross was easy enough, we missed the easy leat crossing in the fog and had to hang around for a small amount of time while I took a few photos to counter any boredom....
The fog or mist lifted enough to find out path towards Pew Tor and the easy leat crossing. I was blessed with some amazing light that I had never seen before later on and it had me questioning my sanity as I am experiencing a few Glaucoma symptoms and rainbow halos being one of them I had never seen them in daylight before so I took a photograph of it just in case it was be seeing it with crap eyes.
Thankfully, I was seeing the real deal. And I will share the photo at a later date.
I'd had a morning of eye tests for glaucoma, so to celebrate all was fine, and to get some fresh air vI decided to brave the winds and rain and have some fun. I hadn't made a driftwood boat for some time so had a great time picking suitable pieces and constructing it. I had some of Sue's scarves for flags and headed off into the wind. Sadly after two photos the boat ran aground and fell to pieces so I had to swim ashore. Waving Flags is by British Sea Power

My beloved dog Nozomi celebrated her 13th birthday. I made her her crown. It was also very popular with the dog companions I meet at the park.
She lost the sight in her right eye three years ago due to glaucoma. She had been living with one eye, but in August of this year she developed glaucoma in her left eye as well. She can barely see anything now.
She and I and my family are very confused. We are always thinking about how we can make her live comfortably.

WARNING Very sharp thistle-like prickly stems and leaves, so it’s best to wear very thick gloves when handling. White flowers with yellow center are up to 5 inches (13 cm) across and have 6, large, tissue-paper-like petals. From a distance, the flowers look like fried eggs. Stems contain white latex that you can apply to warts moles skin cancer to help eat them away. Considered poisonous when fresh, boiling recommended. The upper part of the plant is sometimes crushed and dried to make a mild sedative, contains a very minute amount of opium so it's a relaxant, helps sleep (all poppies do, even the red and orange ones). The seeds contain toxic alkaloids that sometimes cause glaucoma.
