How will the obstruction of the canal of Schlemm will result?

Obstruction of the canal of Schlemm can lead to increased intraocular pressure, which may result in glaucoma. Glaucoma can cause damage to the optic nerve and potentially lead to vision loss if left untreated. Treatment may include medications, laser therapy, or surgery to reduce intraocular pressure and prevent further vision loss.


WHat is most likely to cause an increase in a predator population?

An increase in prey availability is most likely to cause an increase in a predator population as more food leads to better survival and reproduction rates for the predators. Additionally, a decrease in competition from other predators or a decrease in predation pressure from other sources can also contribute to a rise in predator numbers.

When does glaucoma occur?

Glaucoma occurs when there is damage to the optic nerve, often associated with increased intraocular pressure (IOP) in the eye. This pressure can result from an imbalance in the production and drainage of aqueous humor, the fluid inside the eye. While high IOP is a significant risk factor, glaucoma can also occur with normal or low intraocular pressure. It is a leading cause of irreversible blindness, making early detection and management essential.
