ReplyDeleteIn Glaucoma, your optic nerve of the eye is damaged.
ReplyDeleteGlaucoma is defined as a complicated disease in which damage to the optic nerve leads to vision loss. Several types of glaucoma have been witnessed, but the two most common types are angle-closure glaucoma (ACG) and primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). Symptoms of POAG include slowly developing sight loss for many years. The moment a patient is aware of vision loss, the disease is quite advanced. Vision loss from glaucoma is irreversible with treatment, including surgery. It is significant to see a doctor for regular eye examinations even if you experience few warning signs or symptoms.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, the symptoms of acute angle-closure glaucoma include blurred vision or hazy, head and eye pain, vomiting or nausea, and the appearance of rainbow-colored circles around bright lights, and sudden sight loss. It is well-known that the risk of glaucoma increases with age.
