Glaucoma Treatment

Let's go through an overall view, which will help you understand Glaucoma better. It’s a condition in which the eyes are damaged, where our optic nerves get worse over a period of time. In this disease, your eyes’ fluid pressure rises if not treated. Its symptoms usually are blurred vision, nausea, severe pain and redness of the eyes. In such a case, a person can lose his/her vision and can even go blind. This disease is commonly seen in older people and if not treated in time, it can cause permanent damage to one’s optic nerve that does the work of transmitting images to our brains. In most cases, it is inherited and shows up when a person is much older.

What Is Glaucoma

Glaucoma is the term used to describe a group of eye diseases which damage the optic nerve, the nerve that connects the eye to the brain. If left untreated glaucoma can result in blindness.

In the more common forms of glaucoma there is increased pressure in the eye which presses on the optic nerve and causes a gradual loss of peripheral vision.

If you have any of the following symptoms, seek immediate medical care/surgery :

• Seeing halos around lights
• Vision loss
• Redness in the eye
• Eye that looks hazy (particularly in infants)
• Nausea or vomiting
• Pain in the eye

Precautions Before Surgery

High eye pressure alone does not mean that you have glaucoma, but it is an important risk factor your ophthalmologist will use to determine your risk for developing the disease.
