What is Glaucoma?

Glaucoma is a common eye condition where the optic nerve, which connects the eye to the brain, becomes damaged.

It’s usually caused by fluid building up in the front part of the eye, which increases pressure inside the eye. Glaucoma can lead to loss of vision if it’s not diagnosed and treated early.

Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions characterized by damage to the optic nerve, often associated with abnormally high pressure within the eye.

Glaucoma Diagnostic Evaluation can affect people of all ages but is most common in adults in their 70s and 80s.

What Causes Glaucoma Diagnostic Evaluation?

Increased intraocular pressure (IOP):: The most common cause, where fluid pressure within the eye becomes elevated, damaging the optic nerve.
Poor blood flow to the optic nerve: This can contribute to nerve damage, even without increased eye pressure.
Prolonged corticosteroid use:: Especially eye drops, has been linked to secondary glaucoma.
Genetic factors: Family history of glaucoma increases the risk, indicating genetic predispositions.
High blood pressure:May influence the onset or progression of glaucoma.
Other medical conditions: Such as diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure can also contribute to the development of glaucoma.

How Is Glaucoma Diagnostic Evaluation Treated?

Glaucoma Diagnostic Evaluation typically aims to lower intraocular pressure (IOP) in the eye, as high pressure is the primary risk factor for optic nerve damage. The mainstay of treatment involves the use of eye drops, which are often the first line of defense. These drops work by either reducing the production of fluid in the eye or improving its outflow, thereby lowering IOP. Patients may need to use these drops daily for the rest of their lives to manage their condition effectively.

In addition to eye drops, oral medications may also be prescribed to further decrease fluid production in the eye or improve its drainage. These medications are often used in combination with eye drops to achieve optimal IOP control. However, it’s essential for patients to communicate any side effects or concerns with their healthcare provider, as oral medications can sometimes have systemic effects.

Laser therapy is another treatment option for glaucoma. Trabeculoplasty is a common laser procedure used to treat open-angle glaucoma. It works by opening up the drainage angle in the eye, allowing fluid to exit more efficiently.
