Overview of Glaucoma Symptoms?
When it comes to someone's vision, one of the most significant health concerns is glaucoma. Glaucoma is a collection of conditions that can place sever pressure on the optic nerve. This could eventually reduction in visions and potentially blindness. In fact, glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness in all people across the globe. The main symptom of glaucoma is the gradual loss of vision. The loss of vision can be so incredibly slow and gradual that many people will not even realize it until the glaucoma has progressed considerably. The speed of the loss of vision can vary, but most people that experience a loss of vision first notice that their peripheral vision suffers first. Since glaucoma is such a significant health concern and can lead to very significant side effects, people need to ensure that they have their eyes checked regularly to ensure that they do not have glaucoma. Annual visits to an optometrist will normally include a glaucoma test, which will test the amount of pressure that is being placed on the optic nerve. While glaucoma can affect pretty much anyone, there are several risk factors that could increase the probability that someone will suffer from glaucoma. First, people that suffer from near-sightedness have a much greater probability of developing glaucoma at some point in their lives than someone that has good vision or is far-sighted. Also, glaucoma tends to be run in the family, so someone that has a family member that has had glaucoma has a much better chance of getting it as well. While it can be difficult to fully treat glaucoma, there are several ways that a person could receive treatment to at least reduce some of the pressure that is building on the optic nerve. Optometrists can prescribe eye drops and different oral medications that can help reduce some of the pressure. In more severe situations, a patient may have to undergo a surgical procedure to have the pressure on the nerve dropped enough.

Does Hyperopia increase the chance for glaucoma?
Yes, hyperopia (farsightedness) can increase the risk of developing angle-closure glaucoma, especially in older adults. This happens because farsighted eyes often have a shallower anterior chamber, which can lead to blocked fluid drainage and increased eye pressure. If you have hyperopia and are concerned about glaucoma, "Kvitle Eye Care" offers comprehensive glaucoma services to help detect and manage the condition early.
How long does a person who has glaucoma live?
Untreated glaucoma can cause blindness, but it's not itself directly fatal. Someone with glaucoma will live, on average, about as long as they would have if they'd gone blind from some other cause.
