What is Glaucoma the disease of?
One of the leading causes of blindness in the US, glaucoma results from a group of eye conditions which causes optic nerve damage due to abnormally high pressure inside the eye.
What is glaucoma due to?
Glaucoma occurs if the aqueous humor is not removed rapidly enough or if it is made too rapidly, causing pressure to build-up. The high pressure distorts the shape of the optic nerve and destroys the nerve.
Which diseases or disorders affects the eye?
Diabetes Conjunctivitis, high blood pressure, cataracts.One disease is Glaucoma which is unequal pressure in the eye.
An increase of intraocular pressure is most likely to cause?
Ocular hypertension. If high eye pressure is not controlled it can lead to other conditions, like glaucoma.
What could cause to feel like something is constantly in your eye?
Getting something in the eye, Glaucoma (high pressure in the eye), a drop in eye pressure, allergies.
What to do about eye hypertension when eye becomes blurry?
This is glaucoma. The intraoccular pressure is high due to increased amount of aqueous humor.
Glaucoma is a common disease of this part of your body?
Glaucoma is an eye disorder in which there is an increased ocular pressure.
What is medical code V80.1?
V80.1 is a screening test for glaucoma. Glaucoma is increased pressure in the eye.
What is blinding glaucoma pressure?
Glaucoma is a disease of the eyes, in which there is excessive pressure exerted by the aqueous humor, against the retina. This can produce blindness (and also pain).
The definition of Glaucoma?
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.
Why are your eyes drained?
Its what an optician does to relieve the pressure for a person who has glaucoma. A person with high pressures is at more risk of going blind, hence the procedure.
An increase in aqueous fluid pressure is a symptom of?
Glaucoma
