Glaucoma

There are various kinds of glaucoma. Usually, the cause of high intraocular pressure helps to explain the type of glaucoma and best treatment.

There are three main symptoms that there is a possibility of having glaucoma. Optic nerve disorder, blindness (blindness), and elevated intraocular pressure (increase in intraocular pressure). Your ophthalmologist will do multiple tests to check for these symptoms.

What about other types of open-angle glaucoma? Some forms of secondary open angle glaucoma include pseudolabile or pigmentary glaucoma. However, like primary open-angle glaucoma, these glaucoma are often asymptomatic. Sometimes, in pigmentary glaucoma, intraocular pressure rises suddenly, for example, when the pigment of the eye is released during intense exercise. In this case, visibility also becomes cloudy. But overall, open-angle glaucoma does not cause symptoms until the end of the disease.

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 and is a major cause of irreversible blindness in African-American. This disease is usually asymptomatic until a high level of visual loss occurs. Several risk factors for primary open angle glaucoma include increased risk of elevated intraocular pressure, aging, family history, African descent, myopia, and the presence of certain systemic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension , Has been widely described and studied. The exact mechanism for enhancing resistance to wastewater remains unknown and is currently the main focus of the study. Currently, all our treatment strategies are aimed at reducing intraocular pressure. Initial treatment usually begins with topical or oral medication

Glaucoma is a congenital and childhood eye disorder characterized by elevated intraocular pressure or intraocular pressure (IOP). Glaucoma causes blindness and blocks the optic nerve. As glaucoma is caused by nonspecific intraocular pressure levels, it is essential to diagnose and treat patients' glaucoma early. Furthermore, another problem for accurate diagnosis of glaucoma is that the disease has four causes: 1) inflammatory ocular hypertension syndrome (IOHS); 2) severe uveal keratosis; 3) Corticosteroid induced; 4) Structural change A heterogeneous mechanism associated with chronic inflammation. In addition, childhood glaucoma is often quite different from the causes and management of adult glaucoma. Currently, the best sign of glaucoma in children is that the intraocular pressure of the child is> 21 mm Hg.
