Glaucoma is one of the most common diseases of the optic nerves, which can lead to vision loss and even blindness. This disease develops due to a violation of the outflow of fluid in the eyes, which leads to an increase in intraocular pressure. Glaucoma primarily appears in people 40 years of age and older, but signs and symptoms can occur at younger ages due to certain medical conditions. Men are most often susceptible to developing the disease, but women are not immune. Early diagnosis is one of the key factors in the treatment of glaucoma. As the disease progresses, changes in the fundus of the eye often develop, which can be seen during special examinations. In addition, there may be symptoms such as a feeling of "fog", "blurred" vision, painful sensations or blind spots in the eyes. If you have such symptoms, you should immediately contact a specialist to diagnose and take the necessary measures. Glaucoma is treated by ophthalmologists and doctors of related specialties. In this case, experts offer surgical treatment methods, drug therapy, laser correction and special eye exercises to avoid the development of glaucoma in patients. Prevention of the disease includes procedures to maintain eye health and control of vision levels.
