Cornea & Glaucoma
Glaucoma is an eye disease in which the passages that normally allow fluid to drain become clogged or blocked. The blockages increase pressure in the eye, which damages fibers in the optic nerve. It typically affects people over the age of 40 as well as people with a family history of glaucoma, African Americans, and those who are very nearsighted or diabetic.
The most common type of glaucoma develops gradually and painlessly, without symptoms. A rarer type occurs rapidly and its symptoms may include blurred vision, loss of vision out of the side of your eyes, seeing colored rings around lights, and pain or redness in the eyes.
Cornea & Glaucoma
Glaucoma cannot be prevented, but if diagnosed and treated early, it may be controlled. Treatment includes prescription eye drops and medicines to lower the pressure in the eyes. Laser treatment or surgery may be effective in reducing pressure in some cases.
