Glaucoma Clinic with Latest Equipment for diagnosis and treatment of Glaucoma.<br>Glaucoma is the name for a group of eye conditions in which optic nerve is damaged at the point where it leaves the eye. This nerve carries information from the light sensitive layer, the retina, to the brain where it is perceived as a picture.<br>In some people, the glaucoma damage is caused by raised eye pressure.

The eye is anatomically normal, but blockage or malfunction of the drainage channels slowly over many years causes elevated eye pressure. There is no pain but the field of vision gradually becomes impaired. We need to use chemical cleaner (eye drops) to open the drain or turn down the faucet. If this is insufficient, we can stake the drain (laser trabeculoplasty) & if that doesnu2019t work.

It means the drainage channels are covered by a stopper & we need to remove the stopper (laser iridotomy). This glaucoma can be quite painful & will cause permanent damage to sight if not treated promptly.

  1. GLAUCOMA Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, the health of which is vital for good vision. This damage is often caused by an abnormally high pressure in youreye. Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness for people over the age of 60. It can occur at any age but is more common in olderadults. Many forms of glaucoma have no warning signs. The effect is so gradual that you may not notice a change in vision until the condition is at an advancedstage.

  2. SYMPTOMS The signs and symptoms of glaucoma vary depending on the type and stage of your condition. Forexample: OPEN-ANGLEGLAUCOMA Patchy blind spots in your side (peripheral) or central vision, frequently in botheyes Tunnel vision in the advancedstages

  3. ACUTEANGLE-CLOSURE GLAUCOMA Severeheadache Eyepain Nausea andvomiting Blurred vision Halos around lights Eyeredness If left untreated, glaucoma will eventually cause blindness. Even with treatment, about 15 percent of people with glaucoma become blind in at least one eye within 20years.

  4. WHEN TO SEE ADOCTOR Promptly go to an emergency room or an eye doctor's (ophthalmologist's) office if you experience some of the symptoms of acute angle-closure glaucoma, such as severe headache, eye pain and blurredvision.

  5. CAUSES Glaucoma is the result of damage to the optic nerve. As this nerve gradually deteriorates, blind spots develop in your visual field. For reasons that doctors don't fully understand, this nerve damage is usually related to increased pressure in theeye. Elevated eye pressure is due to a buildup of a fluid (aqueous humor) that flows throughout the inside of your eye. This internal fluid normally drains out through a tissue called the trabecular meshwork at the angle where the iris and cornea meet. When fluid is overproduced or the drainage system doesn't work properly, the fluid can't flow out at its normal rate and eye pressure increases.

  6. OPEN-ANGLEGLAUCOMA Open-angle glaucoma is the most common form of the disease. The drainage angle formed by the cornea andirisremainsopen,butthetrabecular meshwork is partially blocked. This causes pressure in the eye to gradually increase. This pressure damages the optic nerve. It happens so slowly that you may lose vision before you're even awareofaproblem.

  7. ANGLE-CLOSUREGLAUCOMA Angle-closure glaucoma, also called closed-angle glaucoma, occurs when the iris bulges forward to narrow or block the drainage angle formed by the cornea and iris. As a result, fluid can't circulate through the eye and pressure increases. Some people have narrow drainage angles, puttingthem atincreasedriskofangle-closureglaucoma. Angle-closure glaucoma may occur suddenly (acute angle-closure glaucoma) or gradually (chronic angle-closure glaucoma). Acute angle- closureglaucomaisamedicalemergency.

  8. NORMAL-TENSIONGLAUCOMA In normal-tension glaucoma, your optic nerve becomes damaged even though your eye pressure is within the normal range. No one knows the exact reason for this. You may have a sensitive optic nerve, or you may have less blood being supplied to your optic nerve. This limited blood flow could be caused by atherosclerosis — the buildup of fatty deposits (plaque) in the arteries — or other conditions that impaircirculation.

  9. GLAUCOMA INCHILDREN It's possible for infants and children to have glaucoma. It may be present from birth or develop in the first few years of life. The optic nerve damage may be caused by drainage blockages or an underlying medicalcondition.

  10. PIGMENTARYGLAUCOMA In pigmentary glaucoma, pigment granules from your iris build up in the drainage channels, slowing or blocking fluid exiting your eye. Activities such as jogging sometimes stir up the pigment granules, depositing them on the trabecular meshwork and causing intermittent pressureelevations.

  11. PIGMENTARYGLAUCOMA Because chronic forms of glaucoma can destroy vision before any signs or symptoms are apparent, be aware of these riskfactors: Having high internal eye pressure (intraocular pressure) Being black, Asian orHispanic Having a family history of glaucoma Having certain medical conditions, suchas diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure & sickle cellanemia Having corneas that are thin in the center Being extremely nearsighted orfarsighted Having had an eye injury or certain types of eyesurgery Taking corticosteroid medications, especially eyedrops, for a longtime

  12. PREVENTION These self-care steps can help you detect glaucoma in its early stages Get regular dilated eye examinations:- Regular comprehensive eye exams can help detect glaucoma in its early stages, before significant damage occurs. If you're at risk of glaucoma, you'll need more frequent screening. Ask your doctor to recommend the right screening schedule foryou.

  13. PREVENTION Know your family's eye health history :- Glaucoma tendsto run in families. If you're at increased risk, you may needmore Exercise safely :- Regular, moderate exercise may help prevent glaucoma by reducing eye pressure. Talk with your doctor about an appropriateexercise Take prescribed eyedrops regularly:- Glaucoma eyedrops can significantlyreduce the risk that high eye pressure will progress to glaucoma. To be effective, eyedrops prescribed by your doctor need to be used regularly even if you have nosymptoms.

  14. DIAGNOSIS Your doctor will review your medical history and conduct a comprehensive eye examination. He or she may perform several tests,including: Measuring intraocular pressure(tonometry) Testing for optic nerve damage with a dilated eye examination and imaging tests Checking for areas of vision loss (visual field test) Measuring corneal thickness (pachymetry) Inspecting the drainage angle(gonioscopy)
