Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve. The optic nerve sends visual information from your eye to your brain and is vital for good vision. Damage to the optic nerve is often related to high pressure in your eye. But glaucoma can happen even with normal eye pressure.
Glaucoma can occur at any age but is more common in older adults. It is one of the leading causes of blindness for people over the age of 60.
Many forms of glaucoma have no warning signs. The effect is so gradual that you may not notice a change in vision until the condition is in its later stages.
It's important to have regular eye exams that include measurements of your eye pressure. If glaucoma is recognized early, vision loss can be slowed or prevented. If you have glaucoma, you'll need treatment or monitoring for the rest of your life.

When to see a doctor
If you experience symptoms that come on suddenly, you may have acute angle-closure glaucoma. Symptoms include severe headache and severe eye pain. You need treatment as soon as possible. Go to an emergency room or call an eye doctor's (ophthalmologist's) office immediately.Causes
Glaucoma develops when the optic nerve becomes damaged. As this nerve gradually deteriorates, blind spots develop in your vision. For reasons that doctors don't fully understand, this nerve damage is usually related to increased pressure in the eye.
Elevated eye pressure happens as the result of a buildup of fluid that flows throughout the inside of the eye. This fluid also is known as the aqueous humor. It usually drains through a tissue located at the angle where the iris and cornea meet. This tissue also is called the trabecular meshwork. The cornea is important to vision because it lets light into the eye. When the eye makes too much fluid or the drainage system doesn't work properly, eye pressure may increase.
Open-angle glaucoma
This is the most common form of glaucoma. The drainage angle formed by the iris and cornea remains open.

Glaucoma is the name for a group of eye conditions in which optic nerve is damaged at the point where it leaves the eye. This nerve carries information from the light sensitive layer, the retina, to the brain where it is perceived as a picture.
In some people, the glaucoma damage is caused by raised eye pressure. Others may have an eye pressure within normal limits but damage occurs because there is weakness in the optic nerve.
Different types of Glaucoma
Open angle glaucomas (chronic glaucoma): It is most common. The eye is anatomically normal, but blockage or malfunction of the drainage channels slowly over many years causes elevated eye pressure. There is no pain but the field of vision gradually becomes impaired. We need to use chemical cleaner (eye drops) to open the drain or turn down the faucet. If this is insufficient, we can stake the drain (laser trabeculoplasty) & if that doesn’t work. We need to put in new plumbing (surgery / implants)
Angle closure glaucoma (Acute glaucoma): The trabecular meshwork is normal, but the iris is pushed against the meshwork & there is sudden and more complete blockage to the flow of aqueous. It means the drainage channels are covered by a stopper & we need to remove the stopper (laser iridotomy). This glaucoma can be quite painful & will cause permanent damage to sight if not treated promptly. Glued iol surgery in indore with best doctors at glaucoma treatment hospital in indore.
Secondary and developmental glaucoma: When a rise in eye pressure is cause by another eye condition it is called secondary glaucoma. Glaucoma in childhood is called developmental or congenital which is caused by malformation in the eye.
Risk factors
> Hypertension
> Diabetes
> People over the age of 45.
> People with family history of glaucoma.
> People with myopia are more prone to develop open angle glaucoma & those with hyperopia are more prone to develop angle closure.
Warning Signs of Glaucoma
> Trouble adjusting to dark rooms
> Difficulty focusing on near or distant objects
> Squinting or blinking due to sensitivity to light or glare
> Recurrent pain in or around eyes
> Double vision
> Dark spot at the center of viewing
> Lines and edges appear distorted or wavy
> Excess “watery eyes”
> Dry eyes with itching or burning

2. OVERVIEW
What is Glaucoma. Glaucoma is a
group of eye conditions that
damage the optic nerve. The optic
nerve sends visual information
from your eye to your brain and is
vital for good vision. Damage to
the optic nerve is often related to
high pressure in your eye. But
glaucoma can happen even with
normal eye pressure.
3. Overview Contn.
Glaucoma can occur at any age but is more
common in older adults. It is one of the leading
causes of blindness for people over the age of 60.
Many forms of glaucoma have no warning signs.
The effect is so gradual that you may not notice a
change in vision until the condition is in its later
stages.
It's important to have regular eye exams that
include measurements of your eye pressure. If
glaucoma is recognized early, vision loss can be
slowed or prevented. If you have glaucoma, you'll
need treatment or monitoring for the rest of your
5. Open-angle glaucoma
No symptoms in early stages
Gradually, patchy blind spots
in your side vision. Side vision
also is known as peripheral
vision
In later stages, difficulty seeing
things in your central vision
6. Acute Angle-closure Glaucoma
Severe headache
Severe eye pain
Nausea or vomiting
Blurred vision
Halos or colored rings around lights
Eye redness
8. Glaucoma In Children
A dull or cloudy eye (infants)
Increased blinking (infants)
Tears without crying (infants)
Blurred vision
Nearsightedness that gets
worse
Headache
10. Causes
Glaucoma develops when the optic
nerve becomes damaged. As this
nerve gradually deteriorates, blind
spots develop in your vision. For
reasons that doctors don't fully
understand, this nerve damage is
usually related to increased
pressure in the eye.
11. CAUSE CONTINUES
Elevated eye pressure happens as the result
of a buildup of fluid that flows throughout the
inside of the eye. This fluid also is known as
the aqueous humor. It usually drains through
a tissue located at the angle where the iris
and cornea meet. This tissue also is called
the trabecular meshwork. The cornea is
important to vision because it lets light into
the eye. When the eye makes too much fluid
or the drainage system doesn't work properly,
eye pressure may increase.
12. Open-angle Glaucoma
This is the most common form of
glaucoma. The drainage angle
formed by the iris and cornea
remains open. But other parts of
the drainage system don't drain
properly. This may lead to a slow,
gradual increase in eye pressure.
13. Angle-closure Glaucoma
This form of glaucoma occurs
when the iris bulges. The bulging
iris partially or completely blocks
the drainage angle. As a result,
fluid can't circulate through the
eye and pressure increases.
Angle-closure glaucoma may
occur suddenly or gradually.
14. Normal-tension Glaucoma
No one knows the exact reason why the optic
nerve becomes damaged when eye pressure
is normal. The optic nerve may be sensitive or
experience less blood flow. This limited blood
flow may be caused by the buildup of fatty
deposits in the arteries or other conditions that
damage circulation. The buildup of fatty
deposits in the arteries also is known as
atherosclerosis.
15. Glaucoma In Children
A child may be born with
glaucoma or develop it in the
first few years of life. Blocked
drainage, injury or an
underlying medical condition
may cause optic nerve
damage.
16. Pigmentary Glaucoma
In pigmentary glaucoma, small pigment granules
flake off from the iris and block or slow fluid
drainage from the eye. Activities such as jogging
sometimes stir up the pigment granules. That leads
to a deposit of pigment granules on tissue located
at the angle where the iris and cornea meet. The
granule deposits cause an increase in pressure.
Glaucoma tends to run in families. In some people,
scientists have identified genes related to high eye
pressure and optic nerve damage.
17. Risk Factors
Glaucoma can damage vision before you
notice any symptoms. So be aware of these
risk factors:
High internal eye pressure, also known as
intraocular pressure
Age over 55
Black, Asian or Hispanic heritage
Family history of glaucoma
Certain medical conditions, such as diabetes,
migraines, high blood pressure and sickle cell
anemia
18. Risk Factors contn.
Corneas that are thin in the center
Extreme nearsightedness or farsightedness
Eye injury or certain types of eye surgery
Taking corticosteroid medicines, especially eye
drops, for a long time
Some people have narrow drainage angles,
putting them at increased risk of angle-closure
glaucoma.
20. Prevention
These steps may help detect and manage
glaucoma in its early stages. That may help to
prevent vision loss or slow its progress.
Get regular eye examinations. Regular
comprehensive eye exams can help detect
glaucoma in its early stages, before significant
damage occurs. As a general rule, the American
Academy of Ophthalmology recommends a
comprehensive eye exam every 5 to 10 years if
you're under 40 years old; every 2 to 4 years if
you're 40 to 54 years old; every 1 to 3 years if
you're 55 to 64 years old; and every 1 to 2 years if
you're older than 65.
If you're at risk of glaucoma, you'll need more
frequent screening. Ask your health care provider to
21. Prevention contn.
Know your family's eye health history.
Glaucoma tends to run in families. If you're at
increased risk, you may need more frequent
screening.
Wear eye protection. Serious eye injuries can
lead to glaucoma. Wear eye protection when
using power tools or playing sports.
Take prescribed eye drops regularly. Glaucoma
eye drops can significantly reduce the risk that
high eye pressure will progress to glaucoma. Use
eye drops as prescribed by your health care
provider even if you have no symptoms.
22. Medicines. Prescription eye drops are the
most common treatment. They lower the
pressure in your eye and prevent damage to
your optic nerve.
Laser treatment. To lower your eye pressure,
doctors can use lasers to help the fluid
drain out of your eye. It’s a simple procedure
that your doctor can do in the office.
Surgery. If medicines and laser treatment
don’t work, your doctor might suggest
surgery. There are several different types of
surgery that can help the fluid drain out of your
