    What are you going to take?? Any thing that kicks up your blood pressure will increase the pressure in your eye, which could lead to retinal detachment. What kind of glucoma do you have. you should have someting from you doc to decrease the pressure just in case.

    Im sorry, I dont have eye problems, just stating I had sight problems with clomid. About every increases my blood pressuresome, but not to an alarming rate, I see the doctor once a month. Sorry I could not help more.

    open angle or closed angle??? Two main categories their are subtypes within them. Most (probably all) of these meds will drive up your BP but take the drops as prescribed by you doc. Start low and go slow if it causes problems come off it a tell your doc unless youd rathere be a big blind guy?

    clomid or Clomiphene acts at the estrogen receptor. I have not been able to find research as to why but I would guess that the receptors are i the central nervous system not the eye its self. Cant see where that would cause a problem with glucoma but???????

    Well thanks for all your help, I know it is not something you hear about alot but I have inherited this fine infliction and just wouldnt want to go blind. I will ask my Dr. either way and let you know what he says, but you know he is going to blow up about it, giving me the it will kill you and shrink your balls speech, but maybe he will be straight with me. I have told docs in the past, well once, and he just started ramblin on about how i am killing myself and it does this and that, well, you probably have been there to so you get my drift. But thanks guys, i will let you know how it goes or what he says.
