Understanding Glaucoma
Overview
Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases known for increasing pressure on the optic nerve, which is essential for vision as it transmits images from the eye to the brain. When this nerve is damaged due to high pressure, it first leads to the loss of peripheral vision, eventually affecting central vision too.
Causes and Types
Glaucoma progresses at varying rates in individuals. Some may experience nerve damage at lower pressure levels, while others might tolerate higher pressures for years without any issues. The most common form, Primary Open Angle Glaucoma (POAG), is often called the "sneak thief of sight" due to its symptomless development.
Another type is Acute Angle-Closure Glaucoma, marked by a sudden increase in eye pressure. This occurs when the pupil dilates and blocks fluid flow, leading to symptoms such as pain and blurred vision. Without immediate treatment, it can cause irreversible vision loss.
Symptoms and Treatment
Common glaucoma symptoms include halos around bright lights and gradual vision loss. If you suspect that you or someone you know may have glaucoma, consulting an eye doctor promptly is crucial. Left untreated, glaucoma can lead to total blindness.
Treatment options vary, often involving medication or surgery, to prevent further damage to the optic nerve.
Key Takeaway
Glaucoma's silent progression underscores the importance of regular eye exams for early detection and management. Don't wait for symptoms; proactive eye care can preserve your vision.
