Diseases of the eyes (ophthalmology)

Complications after surgery for glaucoma

One of the frequent complications after trabeculectomy may be associated with: a pupillary block, hyperfiltration, malignant glaucoma. The pronounced continuous shredding of the depth of the anterior chamber is infrequent and usually restored independently.

Glaucoma: operations

If the production of intraocular fluid decreases, innervation is disturbed, corneal dystrophy develops, etc. On the seeing eye, operations on the ciliary body are undesirable.

Drops from glaucoma

Most patients with glaucoma can lead a normal lifestyle, but some rules regarding nutrition should be followed.

Closed-angle glaucoma

Primary angle-closure glaucoma is 2-3 times less frequent than primary open-angle glaucoma. Women are sicker than men.

Primary and secondary open angle glaucoma

The pathogenesis of open-angle glaucoma is associated with a disruption of the normal function of the drainage system of the eye, through which the outflow of fluid from it is carried out, in the drainage zone of the limbus, dystrophic and degenerative changes are always found.

Glaucoma Diagnostic Methods

It is very important early detection of glaucoma, as successful treatment is possible at the very beginning of the disease. Changes in the early stages of the disease can sometimes be difficult to distinguish from non-threatened options.

Glaucoma: symptoms and signs

To provoke an acute attack of glaucoma can be stressful situations, stay in the dark, long work in an inclined posture, instillation into the eye of the mydriatic, side effects of some common medicine.

Glaucoma: pathogenesis

With glaucomatous atrophy of the optic nerve disc, the following changes are noted: on the disk evolutions develop, called excavation, the death of glial cells and blood vessels.

Causes and risk factors for the development of glaucoma

Age, especially with primary glaucoma, plays an important role. The age group most often include patients older than 40 years. With age, increased intraocular pressure is noted even in healthy eyes, as the aging process occurs in the trabecular network.

Glaucoma: an overview of information

Glaucoma is a chronic eye disease, among which the main symptoms are increased intraocular pressure, as well as worsening of visual functions (fields and visual acuity, adaptation, etc.) and development of marginal excavation of the nipple of the optic nerve.
