Glaucoma
| What
is it? | Glaucoma
is an eye disease that increases the pressure inside the eye. It can be due to
different specific causes, but usually involved a problem with the circulation
of fluid within the eye. This condition is very painful and most cases lead to
blindness. | | Symptoms: | Include
a bulging appearance of the eye (the eyeball is hard with the pupil widely dilated,
poor response to light), redness, tearing, pain, and blindness. |
| Diagnosis: | An
ophthalmologist can measure the internal eye pressure with the appropriate instrument
and can provide a definitive diagnosis. | | Treatment: |
Treatment for this condition
depends on the specific cause. There are medical treatment options, but sometimes
the eye may need to be surgically removed. | |
