Join Dr. David Richardson on his early morning drive as he discusses glaucoma and glaucoma treatments.

The Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitor (CAI) class of glaucoma medications is one of the oldest and (when taken by mouth) one of the most effective at lowering intraocular pressure (IOP). These medications are also available in eye drop form on their own (dorzolamide, brinzolamide) as well as combined with other classes (such as the beta-blocker and alpha-agonist class).

But how well do the topical CAIs work? Are there issues that patients with glaucoma should be concerned about? Dr. Richardson discusses this and more.

Good morning! I am Dr. David Richardson, I’m a cataract and glaucoma surgeon in Southern California. Today I’d like to talk a bit about narrow angle glaucoma.

So, here in the United States, narrow angle glaucoma is actually or has actually been in the past relatively unlikely. So, most glaucoma in the US is what we call Open Angle glaucoma.

Narrow angle glaucoma, in which the angle—which is the angle between the underside of the cornea and the top side of the iris, is narrow…

Patient-Focused OphthalmologistHello I'm Dr. David Richardson. I'm a cataract and glaucoma surgeon here in sunny Southern California.

There are two minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries that are getting quite a bit of interest right now. One is Gonioscopy-Assisted Transluminal Trabeculotomy or GATT for short and the other one is Kahook Dual Blade Goniotomy. We'll talk about whether they work and some of the issues involved.

Episode 06 of Driving with Dr. David Richardson. 

This podcast talks about one of the misconceptions about symptoms of glaucoma.

Many of my patients with all stages of glaucoma will report to me the difficulty in seeing after initially moving from bright lights to dark lights. Now, this condition called, “delayed dark adaptation”

✓ Delayed dark adaptation

✓ Lutein Zeaxanthin supplement 

✓ Lutein Zeaxanthin from (natural) food source

Hello I'm Dr. David Richardson. I'm a cataract and glaucoma surgeon in Southern California. I've been discussing a holistic approach to glaucoma treatment. In other words, a treatment that takes into account things other than intraocular pressure.  In one of my earlier videos I mentioned that what's good for cardiovascular health should be good for glaucoma.  And exercise is one of the things that we all know is good for cardiovascular health. As far as whether it's good for glaucoma that's not as clear. So, today, I'd like to discuss some of the nuances of exercise and glaucoma.

Good morning. I'm Dr. David Richardson. I'm a cataract and glaucoma surgeon that practices in Southern California.  I've been playing with a video idea; basically, take a little bit of time I've gotten in my day that's free to share some of the knowledge that I have about glaucoma that may not be commonly available online.  Right now, I'm discussing systemic issues that can be associated with glaucoma as part of a holistic approach to treating glaucoma; not limited just to addressing intraocular pressure or IOP. One of the things I mentioned in the first video was sleep apnea. So, I'd like to discuss a little bit about sleep apnea.

Hello, I'm Dr. David Richardson. I'm an Ophthalmologist in Southern California and my practice is primarily glaucoma and cataract treatment. So my first video began discussing holistic approach to glaucoma treatment taking into account things other than just IOP (intraocular pressure). In particular, I mentioned cardiovascular fitness and controlling high blood pressure. Well, as with most things in medicine it's not so simple as just controlling your blood pressure. There are a few nuances that are important to know about in controlling your blood pressure, in terms of making sure that that's beneficial to the treatment of your glaucoma.

David Richardson, MD discusses holistic approach to glaucoma. Glaucoma is really a progressive optic neuropathy. That means they damage the optic nerve. It gets worse over time. Intraocular pressure itself is only one of the components of glaucoma. In treating glaucoma, one should also focus on other issues that are involved in glaucoma besides just pressure.
