Triggerfish Glaucoma Monitoring has given me confidence and hope

At my hospital glaucoma appointments it always feels so rushed that I’m out the door before I’ve even had chance to ask anything. As soon as I heard about Triggerfish glaucoma monitoring I was keen to try it. It’s very reassuring to see people who sepcialise in glaucoma and have the time to ask the questions I’ve always wanted answered. Alisdair explained my condition in detail so I now understand my glaucoma so much more. He answered all my questions in great detail, in language I could understand. Nothing was too much trouble for him and his team, they were all so lovely.  Understanding about my condition and treatment means I can better look after the condition myself. I have every confidence that my glaucoma is now being looked after in the best possible way.

I feel it’s vital for people to understand how important the effects of glaucoma can be. In my case I understand that we can’t bring back any of the vision I’ve lost but this treatment gives me the very best possible opportunity to save the rest of my sight. I only wish I could have had it done sooner and would encourage anyone that has means get it done. In reality we all spend money on holidays etc but nothing is more important than your eyesight. I want to keep driving and working as long as I possibly can and controlling my glaucoma gives me the hope that this is possible.

The lens was extremely comfortable to wear and felt no different to my normal contact lens. I slept in the lens and carried on my normal activities with no problems. Family and friends were fascinated by the lens and all wanted to take a picture. I had a stream of visitors keen to see the technology in action and find out how it worked. I have no hesitation in reccomending Triggerfish to anyone with glaucoma, the whole experience has made me feel so much happier and more confident about my glaucoma control.
