Frequently Asked Questions
What is glaucoma?
It is an eye condition that damages optical nerves and causes gradual decaying of eyesight. It is one of the significant reasons behind blindness among senior citizens, but the disease can occur among young people also. It is not possible to recover any glaucoma-induced loss of vision. The common causes behind this condition are aging-related degeneration and genetics. Any person with an incidence of glaucoma in the family should be cautious and consult glaucoma specialists regularly.
What are the symptoms of glaucoma?
Early diagnosis of glaucoma is difficult as the symptoms appear gradually, and we often overlook early signs. Some of the early symptoms of glaucoma are,
● Severe and regular headache
● Pain in eyes
● Nausea, vomiting
● Blurred vision
● Halos around lights
● Eye redness
Along with these symptoms, people with an incidence of glaucoma in the family should be extra cautious as glaucoma is hereditary.
How dangerous is Glaucoma? Is there any treatment?
Glaucoma causes irreversible damages to eyesight and one of the significant causes of blindness in India. Early-stage diagnosis can help to control loss of vision and stop injuries due to glaucoma. Delay in diagnosis often causes permanent damages. The usual treatment is to control eye pressure using eye drops and various oral medications. Sometimes, doctors also suggest surgical procedures.
