How To Treat Secondary Glaucoma In Right Eye?

HI, i'm 37 years old and i have intemmediate Uveitis in my right eye only which has caused secondary gloucoma. I have lost allot of vision in my right eye. I have had several blood test done and been told that they cannot find a cause. Is it worth requesting an MRI scan - have there been cases where cause has been identified as a result of MRI Scan?

Ophthalmologist,  's  Response
Hello
Welcome to health care magic.

I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are having secondary glaucoma as a result of uveitis. This needs to be treated by the use of anti glaucoma drugs like acetazolamide and timolol and along with this treatment of the uveitis is important by the use of steroids and anti-inflammaotry drugs.
MRI scan will not help in the diagnosis of secondary glaucoma or uveitis, hence it is not required.
Hence I advice you to consult your ophthalmologist for examination and treatment accordingly.

Hope this information is helpful to you.

Thank you
With regards
