Glaucoma is characterized by progressive damage to the optic nerve of the eye, the most common cause is high pressure in the eye. If left untreated, glaucoma can lead to blindness. Those with a family history of glaucoma, Diabetes, Systemic hypertension, thyroid disorders, and Myopia are at a higher risk of developing glaucoma. People above the age of 40 years need to undergo routine eye examinations to rule out glaucoma.
It is increased in the pressure of the eyeball. If not controlled it can lead to vision loss or blindness.
An increase in intraocular pressures is maintained by aqueous (liquid inside the eye). It can be due to more production of aqueous humor or decreased outflow of aqueous humor.
Initially, topical anti-glaucoma drops are given. If it is still not controlled with drops or oral medication, surgery is planned. Nobody can cure glaucoma but yes it can be controlled. Samarth have best Glaucoma Specialist in Kharghar.
