Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a group of progressive eye diseases that can cause permanent vision loss if left untreated. It is characterized by the buildup of pressure in the eye, which can cause damage to the optic nerve. Glaucoma can be divided into two main types, open- angle glaucoma and closed-angle glaucoma. Open-angle glaucoma is the most common form and is characterized by the formation of a clear fluid called aqueous humor in the eye. Closed-angle glaucoma is a rare form of the disease that is characterized by the blockage of the optic nerve. There are several risk factors for developing glaucoma, including age, family history, and other eye conditions. People with a family history of glaucoma are more likely to develop the condition, as is those with certain medical conditions, such as diabetes or high blood pressure. Other risk factors include being older than 40, being male, and having a certain eye shape, such as long or narrow eyes. While there is no cure for glaucoma, there are treatments available to manage the condition. The most common treatment is medication to lower the pressure in the eye. This can be done with a medication called diuretics, which help reduce the amount of fluid in the eye. Other treatments may include laser treatment or surgery to relieve the pressure on the optic nerve. If left untreated, glaucoma can cause permanent vision loss. It is important to seek medical attention if you experience any symptoms of the condition, such as increased eye pressure, blurred vision, or the sensation of a paste in the eye. Early treatment can help prevent the progression of the disease and preserve vision.
