If left untreated, it may silently cause permanent loss of vision.  It damages the optic nerve (nerve of your eyes). <\/p>\n\n  <p>The risk factors for glaucoma include:- <\/p>\n<ul>\n  <li>Age: Risk  increases with age<\/li>\n  <li>Family  History of glaucoma: It runs in families, which means that you are more likely  to get it if you have a family history of glaucoma. <\/li>\n  <li>Increased  eye pressure ( intraocular pressure )<\/li>\n  <li>Increased  risk in patients with High myopia, Diabetes, hypertension<\/li>\n  <li>Due to  increased pressure in the eye, the nerve of the eye ( optic nerve ) that sends  the image to the brain is damaged, and as a result, peripheral vision and later  central vision is severely affected. Most people suffering from glaucoma would  not notice any kind of symptoms and it damages vision silently.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What Are The Causes Of Glaucoma?<\/h2>\n<p>Due to multiple  reasons, the fluid pressure of the eye maybe increased leading to damage to  nerve cells (neurons) resulting in loss of vision.<\/p>\n<h2>Seven Facts About Glaucoma<\/h2>\n<ul>\n  <li>You  may not have any kind of pain or other signs and symptoms in the early stages  of glaucoma. Only advanced type of closed angle glaucoma may present with pain,  redness, watering.<\/li>\n  <li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ojaseyehospital.com\/blog\/glaucoma\/\" title=\"Glaucoma\"><strong>Glaucoma<\/strong><\/a>  if untreated results in advanced vision loss. This vision loss may be permanent  and cannot be reversed. The increased pressure has already damaged the nerves  of the eyes that cannot be reversed.<\/li>\n  <li>According  to the Glaucoma Research Foundation, an estimated 3 million people in America  suffer from glaucoma. It has also revealed that about 12 per cent of all  blindness is caused by glaucoma. However, glaucoma is a common eye condition  but we still need to increase its awareness amongst general public.<\/li>\n  <li>Certain  factors increase the risk of getting affected by glaucoma. Therefore, it is  very important to understand the risk factors for glaucoma. In addition, by  knowing the risk factors, people may get aware of how frequently and important  it is to consult an eye doctor for an eye examination.<\/li>\n  <li>Early  diagnosis and appropriate treatment is beneficial. Glaucoma can be recognized  in its early stages by going for a regular eye exam. The doctor can detect  glaucoma by performing some specialised eye tests. <\/li>\n  <li><strong>Glaucoma<\/strong>  can be treated , but damage once done cannot be reversed. <\/li>\n<\/ul><br>\n<h3>Types of surgeries are used such as:-<\/h3>\n<ul style=\"margin-left:30px\">\n  <li><strong>YAG PI  Laser: <\/strong>This is used if you  suffer from narrow-angle (closed angle type) glaucoma. The person suffering  from narrow-angle glaucoma is at a higher risk of getting affected by vision  loss. In this surgery, a small hole in the corner of the eye is made. It enhances  the outflow of fluid through the eye, equalizing the pressure between the  compartments of the eye.<\/li>\n  <li><strong>SLT  Laser:<\/strong> This is a pain-free  option. In this process, the doctor will increase the width of the fluid  channels to increase the outflow of the fluids accumulated inside the eyes.<\/li><\/ul>\n  \n  <p>Anyone  can be affected by glaucoma. Glaucoma can affect anyone, but certain risk  factors can increase the chances of getting affected by it. Some of these risk  factors are:-<\/p>\n<ul style=\"margin-left:30px\">\n  <li>People  have a family history of glaucoma. <\/li>\n  <li>People  aged over 60.<\/li>\n  <li>Mexican  Americans are at a high risk of getting affected by glaucoma.<\/li>\n  <li>If you  have a thin cornea at its centre, you are also at high risk.<\/li>\n  <li>Diabetes,  hypertension<\/li>\n  <li>High  Myopia<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n <p> There are several treatment options available  for medical and surgical management of glaucoma. These treatments can help  reduce the pressure inside the eyes and help relieve its symptoms. <\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Glaucoma is a serious medical condition related to the eyes.
