The optic nerve present in the eyes is responsible for our good eyesight. If the optic nerves are subjected to pressure, they may get damaged and cause vision problems.
The different conditions of the eye that damage the nerves inside the eyes, in medical terms, are known as glaucoma.
Glaucoma is attributed to an alarming eye condition, which can lead to complete loss of vision if it is not treated on time. Regular follow-ups are required for early detection of glaucoma and to protect the vision from irreversible blindness
It is different to understand the occurrence of glaucoma in the initial stages. As the condition becomes severe, symptoms like headache, eye pain, or irritation in the eyes start surfacing. It silently affects the eyes and leads to vision impairment. The only way to detect glaucoma is by not neglecting eye health. Early detection of the condition helps doctors to understand the individual’s eye condition and, based on it, find suitable measures to drive away the problems.
There are a number of ways glaucoma can be treated. Based on the condition of the eyes, ophthalmologists recommend eye drops, medicines, or surgery. Laser therapy has also become an effective and convenient way of treating glaucoma. However, treatment options can show results only if glaucoma is diagnosed in the early stages. Our experienced and skilled doctors ensure that our patients get the best outcome and eventually enjoy effective eye-care services at our clinic.
Glaucoma cannot be completely cured. However, early detection may help doctors to start suitable treatments and reduce the complexity of the condition.
In the initial stages, glaucoma doesn’t show any symptoms. In the later stages, individuals may experience eye pain, headache, or nausea due to the rise in complexity of glaucoma.
Regular eye checkups and eye examinations are essential diagnosis options for treating glaucoma. Ophthalmologists also recommend visual field texting for assessing peripheral vision.
Individuals above the age of 60 are prone to getting glaucoma due to higher pressure on the nerves of the eyes. Genetic factors can also be responsible for giving rise to glaucoma.
Delays in treatment may give rise to complex eye conditions. In the worst-case scenarios, glaucoma can cause complete loss of vision.
Diabetes can cause vision problems. Diabetes may not cause glaucoma, but it can enhance the risk factors associated with glaucoma.
Surgery can reduce the intensity of glaucoma and prevent further loss of vision. However, it cannot completely restore normal vision.
Glaucoma is not contagious and doesn’t spread from one person to the other. It can affect individuals owing to genetic factors but not through mere physical presence.
Lifestyle management, like healthy food habits or regular exercise, can have a positive effect on overall eye health, but it might not be effective in preventing glaucoma.
Aged people are more prone to glaucoma. However, the chances of glaucoma in other age groups cannot be neglected. Hence, individuals of all age groups need to consider regular eye checkups to take optimum care of eyesight.
