WHAT IS GLAUCOMA?
Glaucoma is a group of disease that can lead to damage to eye's optic nerve and result in blindness.It is caused by increased the intraocular pressure(IOP) resulting either from a malformation or malfunction of the eye's draiage structure.
TREATMENT
A wide variety of treatment are available for reducing the intraocular pressure,the only known effective treatment for glaucoma.
.Medicine:Medicines are the most common early treatment for glaucoma.They come in the form of eyedrops and pills.
.Laser surgery:Also called trabeculoplasty.A special lens is held to your eye.A high energy beam of light is aimed at the lens and reflected onto meshwork inside your eye.The laser makes 500-100 evenly spaced burns.These burns strecth the drainage holes in the meshwork.This help to open the holes and lets fluid drain better through them.
.Conventional surgery:A new channel for aqueous humor(fluid) to drain into blood circulation is created.This will enable the intraoccular pressure to be maintained of normal tension.
