I need to add some info as I misunderstood something before.
My dad has both glaucoma and cataracts. The surgery was for the cataracts. There is no surgery for glaucoma. The only "solution" is the use of pressure reducing eye drops which are meant to be taken forever once started (so the doc said).
HOWEVER, as he measured the pressure today it turned out to be completely normal.
This means that the cataract surgery would now be safe to do, whereas if someone also has glaucoma the high pressure makes it risky.
BUT the doc also CANCELLED the surgery for now. He said to wait and see if the cataracts will improve/go away by continuing the Lugols!! He was very impressed that the
Iodine got the eye pressure down to normal. As I mentioned before, my dad did not use the prescribed eye drops more than a couple times, simply to give his eyes a rest of the pressure. He has not taken them for two weeks already at all.
So, my dad is now waiting to see if the cataracts will go away with Lugol. If not, he would still need the surgery, BUT it wont be risky anymore, which was a real concern.
I am hopeful he wont need surgery in the end, since
Iodine is also indicated for cataracts
