Causes, Symptoms and Diagnosis of Glaucoma

Glaucoma is a condition that causes harm to your eye's optic nerve and deteriorates after some time. It's frequently connected with a development of weight inside the eye. Glaucoma has a tendency to be acquired and may not appear until some other time in life. The expanded weight, called intraocular weight, can harm the optic nerve, which transmits pictures to the cerebrum. In the event that harm to the optic nerve from high eye weight proceeds with, glaucoma will bring about perpetual loss of vision. Without treatment, glaucoma can bring about aggregate perpetual visual deficiency inside a couple of years. .Since a great many people with glaucoma have no early indications or agony from this expanded weight, it is imperative to see your eye specialist routinely so glaucoma can be analysed and treated after a short time term visual misfortune happens.

Open-angle glaucoma (OAG), the vast majority with OAG have no side effects when they are analysed.

Closed angle glaucoma (CAG) may bring about no manifestations. On the other hand side effects may go from mellow to extreme. They normally influence one and only eye at once. Indicative devices which help in figuring out if or not you have glaucoma even before you have any side effects. Measuring intraocular weight (tonometry), Testing for optic nerve harm checking for zones of vision misfortune (visual field test), measuring corneal thickness (pachymetry) examining the waste edge (gonioscopy).
