My mum had acute closure glaucoma 3 years back and had laser treatment + an operation for that. But pain keep coming back to her eyes now and then. It feels like a constant looming fear of losing eyesight all the time.
Some eye creams claim to freshen up and re-energize your eyes by improving blood flow around the eyes. I wonder if she applied one of those eye creams under her eyes, would that help maintain *relatively* healthy eyes? After all, glaucoma is caused because of restriction on the fluid flow inside the eye. Or would there be any adverse effects of such a cream?
Please give me answers other than asking me to consult the doctor – I already know that. Here in the UK, it’s damn hard to get the family doctor’s appointment in the first place and even if you do, they are sometimes next to useless.
So, would an eye cream (1) help, (2) won’t make any difference or (3) damage her eyes even further?
