Glaucoma is an eye disease that damages the optic nerve, often due to increased pressure in
the eye.
Symptoms
- Gradual vision loss, especially peripheral (side) vision
- Tunnel vision (advanced stage)
- Seeing halos around lights
- Sudden eye pain, redness, nausea, and blurred vision (acute angle-closure glaucoma - see an ophthalmologist immediately)
Causes
- Increased eye pressure due to fluid buildup
- Blocked drainage channels in the eye
- Optic nerve damage (exact cause not always clear)
Treatment
- Eyedrops: Lower eye pressure or improve fluid drainage
- Laser Treatment: May create new drainage channels or reduce fluid production.
- Surgery (rare): If other options fail, surgery may be needed to improve drainage.
- Early diagnosis and treatment crucial: Can help prevent vision loss.
Remember: : Regularly see your ophthalmologist for eye exams to detect
glaucoma early
