Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that can damage the optic nerve and lead to vision loss. It is often caused by high pressure inside the eye, which can damage the optic nerve over time if not treated. Early detection and treatment are important to prevent vision loss from glaucoma.

You stupid asses be using answers for your homework!

Ability to discern color

For the most part, no. Dogs with allergies tend to have skin and gastrointestinal tract issues, not the upper respiratory signs shown by humans. Therefore, giving a dog Benadryl to reduce allergy-related inflammation is probably not going to do anything to resolve an eye issue. However, a veterinarian who has examined your dog and determined the cause of the eye issue may prescribe Benadryl for your dog.

It is nearsightedness and hyperopia is farsightedness.

Technically it is possible, but very unlikely. They type of Glaucoma would be Pigmentary glaucoma which can be (it is thought) caused by pigment granules being broken off from the iris and being deposited in the trabecular meshwork.

This is technically possible, but so is winning the lottery and I'd expect to win the lottery before this happening...

First of all you have misspelled symptoms.

Primary Open Angle Glaucoma, which is what I am assuming you are inquiring about, is the most common type of glaucoma. Unfortunately, there are no symptoms. This is why it is important for people to get their eyes checked on a regular basis especially if you are over the age of 40 and have a positive family history of glaucoma. Optometrists can detect glaucoma through 3 main checks.

First of all a field of vision check would reveal any glaucomatous field defects, usually starting at the nasal field and progressing in an arcuate pattern to the optic disc. If left untreated the eventual consequence of this would be tunnel vision.

Secondly, an assessment of the optic nerve head can reveal glaucoma. If the cup appears very deep or the optic nerves are asymmetrical between the 2 eyes then this can be indicative of glaucoma. A pale disc is also a sign. As is thinning of the neuro-retinal rim and splinter haemorrhages at the disc, usually in the inferior nasal quadrant.

Finally, an optometrist will check the intra-ocular pressure of the eyes. Asymmetry of more than 5mmHg or a value over 21mmHg can suggest glaucoma. This is the least reliable measure of glaucoma detection as you can have normal IOPs yet suffer from glaucoma.

Well the common sense thing to do would be to... GET GLASSES

All doctores go to school and gain super powers called double vision

It differs between person. When I got mine it lasted about 2 hours.

The treatment of Glaucoma is to reduce the eye pressure (IOP). Eye drops and surgery would be effective for this purpose.

Glaucoma medications are either oral or topical. Topical medications such as eye drops, eye ointments, or inserts work to reduce IOP either by increasing the outflow of fluid from the eye or by reducing the amount of fluid produced by the eye. These include:

- Miotics increase the outflow of fluid. These include Isopto® Carpine, Ocusert®, Pilocar®, and Pilopine®.

- Epinephrines increase the outflow of fluid. These include Epifrin® and Propine®.

- Beta-blockers reduce the amount of fluid. These include Betagan®, Betimol®, Betoptic®, Ocupress®, Optipranalol®, and Timoptic®.

The value is very variable: approx. 10 blinks/minute.

Although it seems they are in fact hereditary, one can not pass cancer nor diabetes thru genetics.

Most people notice frequent headaches or eye straight and may find themselves squinting or feeling fatigued while driving or playing sports. If you are experiencing these symptoms it's best to have an eye exam to make sure it is myopia.

Signs of having cataracts are fairly obvious. These symptoms include clouded or blurry vision, sensitivity to light, difficulty seeing at night, double vision in one eye, and more. There are surgeries available to those with cataracts.

Your retinologist can tell you if your macular degeneration is related to age, diabetes, or any other cause and can best determine if you more in need of conventional surgery as an outpatient in a hospital or if in-office laser surgery is enough to be of benefit to you. Either way, you should expect some improvement in your vision within a day or so after surgery.
