Our eyes are wonderful wonders that allow us to see the world and appreciate the beauty of the world around us. However, there is a sneaky danger that can steal this priceless gift of sight over time, frequently without our awareness until it is too late. Glaucoma, a set of eye diseases that can harm our optic nerve and result in permanent vision loss if not identified and treated early. We'll go around the world of Glaucoma in this blog, learning about its forms, what causes it, the warning signals to look out for, and most importantly, how you may preserve your vision and enhance your quality of life through early detection and appropriate treatment.lyme-disease
Consider the eye as a tiny camera that records images and sends them to your brain via the optic nerve, a delicate connection. This cable suffers harm from Glaucoma, which deteriorates it gradually over time. Because of the delicate fluid balance that our eyes must maintain, pressure inside the eye, also known as intraocular pressure (IOP), rises when this balance is cut off. The optic nerve, which is in charge of conveying visual information to the brain, is under increased pressure. If this pressure is not relieved, it may cause irreparable vision loss that first affects the peripheral vision and then gradually affects the center of vision.aids
Angle closure is defined as the apposition of iris to the trabecular meshwork, which results in increased intraocular pressure (IOP). In acute angle closure (AAC), the process occurs suddenly with a dramatic onset of symptoms, including blurred vision, red eye, pain, headache, and nausea and vomiting. The sudden and severe IOP elevation can quickly damage the optic nerve, resulting in acute angle-closure glaucoma (AACG).
