What is Glaucoma?
Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve, often due to increased intraocular pressure. Many patients are unaware of their condition because it progresses silently, making regular eye check-ups essential.
Types of Glaucoma
- Open-Angle Glaucoma: Gradual, painless vision loss; most common type.
- Angle-Closure Glaucoma: Sudden eye pain, blurred vision, headache; an emergency condition.
- Normal-Tension Glaucoma: Optic nerve damage occurs despite normal eye pressure.
- Secondary Glaucoma: Caused by other eye conditions, injuries, or medications.
Symptoms to Watch For
- Loss of peripheral vision
- Blurred vision or halos around lights
- Eye pain or redness
- Headaches or nausea (acute cases)
Tip: Regular screenings are the best way to catch glaucoma before symptoms appear.
Causes and Risk Factors
- Family history of glaucoma
- Age above 40 years
- High eye pressure (intraocular pressure)
- Diabetes or hypertension
- Eye injuries or prolonged steroid use
Dr. Jeevan Ladi emphasizes a personalized risk assessment for all patients.
