Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of irreversible blindness in the world and is the leading cause of blindness among adults in the United States.
Glaucoma may occur as primary or congenital disease or secondary to other causes, such as injury, infection, surgery, or prolonged use of topical corticosteroids.
Primary glaucoma has mainly two forms :
1. Open angle glaucoma ( chronic, simple, or wide angle glaucoma)
2. Angle –closure glaucoma( Acute or narrow angle glaucoma)

Tom Selleck Health: A Comprehensive Look at the Iconic Actor’s Wellness Journeygreendigital
Tom Selleck, an enduring figure in Hollywood. has captivated audiences for decades with his rugged charm, iconic moustache. and memorable roles in television and film. From his breakout role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum P.I. to his current portrayal of Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods. Selleck's career has spanned over 50 years. But beyond his professional achievements. fans have often been curious about Tom Selleck Health. especially as he has aged in the public eye.
Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

3. INTRODUCTION
Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic
nerve, the health of which is vital for good vision. This damage
is often caused by an abnormally high pressure in eye.
Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness for people
over the age of 60. It can occur at any age but is more common
in older adults.
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 at an advanced stage.
4.
5. DEFINITION
• Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases characterized by
damage to the optic nerve usually due to excessively
high intraocular pressure (IOP).This increased
pressure within the eye, if untreated can lead to optic
nerve damage resulting in progressive, permanent
vision loss, starting with unnoticeable blind spots at
the edges of the field of vision, progressing to tunnel
vision, and then to blindness.
9. NORMAL PHYSIOLOGY
• 90% of fluid flows out of the anterior
chamber draining through the spongy
trabecular meshwork.
• Canal of schelm and the episcleral
veins.
• 10% of the fluid exist through the
ciliary body into the suprachoroidal
space.
• Venous circulation of ciliary body,
choroid and sclera.
43. NURSES RESPONSIBILITY
• Provide information regarding management of glaucoma
• Discuss preoperative and postoperative teaching for
immediate surgical opening of the eye chamber.
• Prepare to administer carbonic anhydrase inhibitors IV or
IM, to restrict production of aqueous humor.
• Prepare to administer osmotic agents.
• Discuss and prepare the client for surgical or laser
peripheral iridectomy after the acute episode is relieved.
44. NURSES RESPONSIBILTY
• Provide information about laser trabeculoplasty, if medication therapy
proves ineffective.
• Teach the client about specific safety precautions.
• Instruct the client to avoid mydriatics such as atropine, which may
precipitate acute glaucoma in a client with closed-angle glaucoma.
• Instruct the client to carry prescribed medications at all times.
• Instruct the client to carry a medical identification card or wear a
bracelet stating his type of glaucoma and need for medication.
• Instruct the client to take extra precautions at night (e.g. use of
handrails, provide extra lighting to compensate for impaired pupil
dilation from miotic use).
45. PREVENTION
• Get regular dilated eye examinations. Regular comprehensive eye exams can help
detect glaucoma in its early stages, before significant damage occurs.
• Know your family's eye health history. Glaucoma tends to run in families.
• Exercise safely. Regular, moderate exercise may help prevent glaucoma by
reducing eye pressure.
• Take prescribed eyedrops regularly. Glaucoma eyedrops can significantly reduce
the risk that high eye pressure will progress to glaucoma.
• Wear eye protection. Serious eye injuries can lead to glaucoma. Wear eye
protection when using power tools or playing high-speed racket sports in enclosed
courts.
59. EVALUATION
• Define glaucoma ?
• Explain Stages of glaucoma?
• What are the etiological causes of glaucoma?
• What are the risk factor?
• Enlist types of glaucoma ?
• What are the clinical manifestation ?
• What are the sign and symptoms ?
