Glaucoma is an eye condition caused by fluid deposits behind the eye. This may damage the optic nerve, which can lead to visual field loss and blindness. Open-angle glaucoma is the most prevalent type of glaucoma. A blockage causes it in a special membrane (trabecular meshwork), preventing the aqueous humor from draining out properly.

It is the second biggest cause of blindness after cataracts worldwide. It is also the leading cause of vision loss in people over 60.

Unfortunately, glaucoma has no cure. But effective treatment can prevent it from further damaging your eyes.

Question and Answers

i am 21 years old, preparing for government examinations like defense and i am wearing spectacles from 2016 .. and i want to go for eye laser treatment either lasik laser ya contura vision ya simile as prescribed by a doctor is it avaliable in the hospital and how can i verify i am fit for this laser treatment

Male | 21

The hospital will do some tests to find out if you are a proper candidate for the procedure. They will check your eye health, thickness, and shape. For the record, you are 21, wear glasses, and are preparing for exams - you are in a good age group. If they think laser treatment is a good option for you, it can lessen the extent to which you need glasses. Visit an opthalmologist for tests.

One year after giving birth, Nidhi’s periods resumed, and she started experiencing frequent swelling in the upper and occasionally the lower portion of her right eye.

Female | 29

Nidhi’s eye swelling incident might be due to sinusitis, which is caused by acute inflammation of the sinuses. This occurs when the sinus passages are blocked or infected. The swelling is happening due to the presence of the fluid. You can put a warm towel on your eye and also drink plenty of water to help reduce the swelling.

Can a Squint be Corrected in 10 year old, without surgery ?

Female | 10

A squint, which is also known as strabismus, in ten-year-old kids may be corrected without surgery in some cases if it is diagnosed at the very early age. Symptoms may be that one eye is constantly moving in or out. The causes are muscle imbalance or eye muscle weakness. The treatments can include eye exercises, wearing a patch, or the use of glasses to help focus. It is important that the progress is being controlled by having regular eye examinations.
