Glaucoma

Glaucoma glaucoma is a general and important health problem. It is one of the main causes of blindness in Western society (Hoskins & Kass, 1989). It causes 10% of blindness in the United States and continues to be the second or third most common cause of blindness in the world (Bunce, Fraser, & Wormald, 1999). It is estimated that 2 million people in the US are diagnosed with glaucoma. It is well known that glaucoma affects about 2% of Caucasians at the age of 40, people over the age of 60 are at high risk of risk.

Glaucoma remains a major public health problem. This is the second leading cause of global blindness after cataract. In the United States, primary open angle glaucoma is the most common form of glaucoma, the main cause of African-American irreversible blindness. The disease is usually asymptomatic until a high level of visual loss occurs. Several risk factors for primary open angle glaucoma include the potential for the presence of certain systemic diseases such as elevated intraocular pressure, aging, family history, African descent, myopia, and diabetes and hypertension Have been widely described and studied. The precise mechanism for enhancing resistance to wastewater remains unclear and is now the main focus of our research. Currently, all our treatment strategies are aimed at reducing intraocular pressure. Initial treatment usually begins with topical oral medication

Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness in the United States. Infantile (congenital) glaucoma is present, but glaucoma mostly occurs in people over 40 years of age. Family history of glaucoma, African Americans over 40 years old, and Hispanic people over the age of 60 are at increased risk of glaucoma. Other risk factors include thinner cornea, chronic eye inflammation, and drugs that increase intraocular pressure. Primary open-angle glaucoma, the most common form of glaucoma, develops slowly, usually without symptoms. Many people do not know that they are sick before they experience serious sight loss. Initially, glaucoma affects peripheral or lateral vision, but it may promote central vision loss. If it is left untreated, glaucoma can significantly lower the eyesight of both eyes and even blindness.
