Glaucoma Congestive

Glaucoma is considered one of the most common eye diseases, which is associated with increased intraocular pressure. However, in addition to this main symptom, patients with glaucoma may experience other symptoms such as distorted visual perception, decreased visual acuity, nausea and headache.

The cause of congestive glaucoma is an uncontrolled level of intraocular pressure, which leads to impaired blood supply to the optic nerve and its gradual atrophy. This disease can develop at any age, but is most common in old age. Congestive glaucoma can also be associated with hypertension, diabetes and other chronic diseases. Congestive glaucoma is typical for a long-term stay of a sick person in a position not directly related to the treatment procedure (for example, eating, therapy procedures, etc.)

Patients with congestive glaucoma require regular monitoring of intraocular pressure. For this, a special device called a tonometer is used.

Treatment of congestive glaucoma can be carried out either conservatively or surgically. Conservative treatment includes medications and physical therapy. The surgical treatment method involves surgical removal of the cause of the increased pressure of the intraocular fluid. Them
