Glaucoma

Glaucoma is a disease that leads to the death of retinal cells, atrophy of the nerve fibers forming the optic nerve, and causes irreversible blindness.
Glaucoma
Glaucoma in the initial stages is not accompanied by any symptoms. In glaucoma, due to the death of retinal cells in the periphery, and the emerging atrophy of nerve fibers, there is a gradual narrowing of the visual fields, which a person may not notice until the condition reaches a pronounced stage of the disease.

Reasons

Increased intraocular pressure

Hereditary predisposition

Age (often develops in the elderly)

Inflammatory eye diseases

Eye injuries

Violations of the outflow of intraocular fluid

Symptoms

Gradual decrease in peripheral vision

Tunnel vision

Pain in the eyes or head

Blurred vision

An unpleasant feeling of pressure in the eyes

A halo or rainbow when looking at objects of light (lantern, lamp)

Treatment

alt
Conservative treatment:
The main method of treating glaucoma with increased intraocular pressure (IOP) is the use of eye drops, which help reduce intraocular pressure.
alt
Surgical treatment:
If medication does not have sufficient effect or glaucoma progresses, surgical methods may be indicated. For example, trabeculectomy is the creation of a new drainage channel for the outflow of intraocular fluid and pressure reduction. Fistulizing operations: the creation of a fistula to improve the outflow of fluid from the eye. Surgery may also include the use of a laser (laser trabeculoplasty) to improve the outflow of intraocular fluid and reduce pressure.
