I was just at the Optomalogist's office 6/19/07 for seven hours and ER for five hours. I was being treated for Acute Angle Closure Glaucoma. Started with a sneeze on 6/19 a.m. that brought on blurry vision in right eye. As the day progressed both eyes became affected. Pressure in right eye was 51 and pressure in left eye was 50. (pressure should be between 12-15) Eye Doctor tried to bring down eye pressure by giving me Diamox 250 mg and drops of Istalol and Alphagan (ended up getting a full 1000 mg of Diamox) before they set me to the ER for an I.V. of Mannitol to deliver medicine faster, which brought down my pressure to right 32 and left 28. Back at Eye Dr's 6/20 pressure is down to right 20 and left 22. Will follow up again with them on Friday. This is all due to me taking 25 mg. of Topamax for the last three weeks for Migraines. Surgery would of been my next option if the I.V. did not work. They were talking about using a laser to cut a hole in my eye to relieve the pressure. Still have blurry vision today but it is slowly coming back. I wanted to find out about other people with the same type of problem as me.
