Health Matters: Eye Disease / Glaucoma and Cataracts Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness in the U.S. and is the single most common cause of blindness among African-Americans. Almost 80,000 Americans are blind from glaucoma, and at least another 2 million currently have the disease. Half of those with glaucoma don't know it. Robert N. Weinreb, M.D. discusses how vision loss can be prevented if the disease is caught and treated in time.

NY Gov. Paterson Has Procedure for Glaucoma PlusNY Gov. Paterson Has Procedure for GlaucomaNY Gov. Paterson Has Procedure for GlaucomaThe Associated PressNew York's Governor David Paterson has undergone an emergency procedure for glaucoma, a condition that did not threaten his already extremely limited sight but caused agonizing 'migraine-like symptoms.' (May 20)[Notes:ANCHOR VOICE] [Notes:Dateline: New York][Notes:File vid Patterson] New York Governor David Paterson has undergone an emergency procedure for glaucoma.That's hours after admitting himself to a hospital with a severe headache.Paterson is legally blind.The governor's office says he was diagnosed with acute glaucoma in his left eye... and had a routine, outpatient laser procedure to relieve pressure on that eye.Doctors say Paterson has already left the hospital .... but will have another procedure in a few days to prevent glaucoma in his right eye.They say neither procedure will have any long-term impact on the governor's overall health. Paterson lost sight in his left eye ... and much of the sight in his right eye after an infection as an infant. The 54-year-old can see shapes and usually recognizes people as they approach.But he can read for only a few minutes at a time ... with the text held close to his face.The Democrat was sworn in on March 17 ... days after former Governor Eliot Spitzer resigned amid a prostitution scandal. He had served as Spitzer's lieutenant governor for 14 months. ___ ___, The Associated Press.(****END****) Tags: paterson surgery ny gov. procedure glaucoma |

Glaucoma And The Myth of Medical Marijuana / Anti-Marijuana Video Glaucoma And The Myth of Medical Marijuana / Video. See references in the video. All text and images from Fair Use, public domain or referenced in the video. Music from the Music Bakery. The Institute of Medicine found that THC in smoked marijuana provides only temporary relief from intraocular pressure associated with glaucoma and would have to be smoked eight to 10 times a day to achieve consistent results. And there exists another treatment for intraocular pressure, as the availability of medically approved once-or twice-a-day eye drops makes intraocular pressure control a reality for many patients and provides round-the-clock intraocular pressure reduction. A new study finds marijuana is a relatively ineffective way to treat glaucoma. A new study that says smoking marijuana is a hazy and impractical way to treat glaucoma is the latest twist to the medical marijuana debate. Ophthalmologist Keith Green at the Medical College of Georgia has found the medical benefits of smoking marijuana are slight and relief is temporary. "Glaucoma is a 24-hour-a-day disease, 365 days-a-year disease and you cannot get away from it," he said. But to be effective, Green said a patient would have to smoke an unrealistic amount of marijuana. "If you want to maintain a low interocular pressure with marijuana, then you have to smoke a joint every 1 to 2 hours which is 10 to 12 joints a day, which is 4,000 a year," he said. "That's by anybody's definition -- no matter how liberal you are -- a considerable consumption." His study is published in the recent issue of the American Medical Association's journal Ophthalmology. Glaucoma is an eye disease usually associated with an increased fluid pressure inside the eyes that damages the optic nerve, leading to vision loss or even blindness. The most common form of the disease -- chronic, open-angle glaucoma -- is a leading cause of blindness in the United States and the number one cause of blindness in African Americans. Studies in the early 1970s showed that marijuana, when smoked, lowered intraocular pressure in people with normal pressure and those with glaucoma. In an effort to determine whether marijuana, or drugs derived from marijuana, might be effective as a glaucoma treatment, the National Eye Institute supported research studies beginning in 1978. These studies demonstrated that some derivatives of marijuana transiently lowered lowered intraocular pressure when administered orally, intravenously, or by smoking, but not when topically applied to the eye. However, none of these studies demonstrated that marijuana -- or any of its components -- could lower lowered intraocular pressure as effectively as drugs already on the market. In addition, some potentially serious side effects were noted, including an increased heart rate and a decrease in blood pressure in studies using smoked marijuana. A wide variety of therapies are currently used to treat glaucoma, including FDA-approved drugs and laser and conventional surgery. Research to date has not investigated whether marijuana use offers any advantages over currently available glaucoma treatments or if it is useful when used in combination with standard therapies. The identification of side effects from smoked marijuana, coupled with the emergence of highly effective FDA-approved medications for glaucoma treatment, may have led to diminished interest in this research area. Medical marijuana has been promoted for "compassionate use" to assist people with glaucoma and other diseases. Scientific studies show the opposite is true; marijuana is damaging to individuals with these illnesses. In fact, people suffering with glaucoma are being used unfairly by groups whose real agenda is to legalize marijuana. Marijuana does not prevent blindness due to glaucoma. Many people throughout the world suffer from the results of having glaucoma. Contrary to the best medical authorities and scientific studies, Marijuana producers and users continue to give false hope to the people who suffer from glaucoma --- in order to further their own selfish aims of legalizing marijuana. Marijuana producers and users hope that by repeating a big lie over and over again, that people will finally begin to believe it. Please do not fall for this shame. Please keep marijuana illegal.
