Glaucoma is generally an eye disease
that can affect the eye sight of a person to a major level and it could lead to
loss of vision or blindness. So, if you will take early treatments and
precautions then you can safeguard your eye sight from serious vision loss.
What Exactly A Optic Nerve
The optic nerve is a pack of almost 1
million nerve fibers. It joins the retina with the brain. A retina is a light
sensitive tissue, which is present at the back of the eye. It’s very important
to have a healthy optic nerve because that’s what required for a good eye
vision.
There are various studies that have
showed eye pressure to be the major reason for causing optic nerve. There is a
space in front of the eye that is known as anterior chamber. There is a fluid
that flows continuously inside and outside the chamber that also nurtures the
closer tissues. The fluid part plays a vital role between cornea and iris. Once
the fluid reaches till angles then it passes via a spongy meshwork just like a
drain and then leaves the eye.
One more risk aspect of optic nerve
damage is that it relates to the blood pressure, so it’s equally important that
your blood pressure should be at the proper level which can be confirmed by
discussing it with your Eye Doctor and Eye Surgeon.
Though it’s been said the glaucoma
usually develops due to increase eye pressure but however it’s not true every time.
Because people have different capacity to abide higher eye pressure level in
comparison to others, so there are chances that a definite level of eye pressure
can be higher for one person and lower for others. So if you get affected by glaucoma
then it truly depends upon the toleration level of optic nerve. This level
depends on person to person. This is why it is very important to have a proper
dilated eye test so it help the Eye Surgeon to determine the level of eye
pressure on patients.
Treatment of Glaucoma
As and when the glaucoma disease is
detected, and then an immediate treatment is recommended as delay in this
process can make the vision worst. Therefore it is very necessary to get t
diagnosed first so that it could be cure in the initial stage.
Generally medicines like eye drops and
pills are most common Glaucoma Treatment available nowadays. By
using these eye drops on regular basis, eye pressure gets reduced.
