What else can I help you with?
What is the consequence of ignoring eye pressure?
Glaucoma can lead to blindness. There are drops that the Dr. can provide to help reduce the pressure.
Does diabetes affect the eyes?
It can. Excessive blood Glucose can (over time) attach to the lens and cause cataracts, and increased blood pressure in the retina can lead to glaucoma, potentially leading to loss of vision or blindness.
What is the disease when you don't use vitamin A?
Not using enough vitamin A can lead to a condition called vitamin A deficiency. This deficiency can cause symptoms such as night blindness, dry eyes, and increased susceptibility to infections. Severe cases of vitamin A deficiency can result in irreversible blindness and even death.
How does glaucoma lead to blindness even thoough accumulation of fluid occurs in the anterior chamber?
Glaucoma leads to blindness primarily due to increased intraocular pressure (IOP) resulting from fluid accumulation in the anterior chamber, which can damage the optic nerve. This damage disrupts the transmission of visual information from the eye to the brain. Over time, the pressure can cause irreversible loss of retinal ganglion cells, leading to vision loss and, if untreated, complete blindness. The condition often progresses without noticeable symptoms until significant damage has occurred, making regular eye examinations crucial for early detection.
What does increased CSF pressure lead to?
Increased cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure can lead to conditions like hydrocephalus, causing symptoms such as headache, nausea, vomiting, visual disturbances, and potentially cognitive decline. It can also put pressure on the brain tissue and lead to serious complications if left untreated.
Does alcohol cause Blindness ?
Once a person develops the visual condition called sclera, then alcohol can lead to blindness. This is not very common. However, some people with life long alcohol addictions do develop this disease.
Can Glaucoma can cause blindness?
Yes, glaucoma can lead to blindness if left untreated. It is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, often due to increased intraocular pressure. Early detection and management are crucial in preventing vision loss, as symptoms may not be noticeable until significant damage has occurred. Regular eye exams are essential for at-risk individuals.
Can fringes lead to blindness?
no
Is it possible for the brain to be too big for the skull?
Yes, it is possible for the brain to be too big for the skull, which can lead to a condition called hydrocephalus where there is an abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain. This can cause increased pressure inside the skull and potentially lead to serious health issues.
Can spinal fluid cause double vision?
In some cases, increased pressure in the spinal fluid can lead to double vision. This can occur if the increased pressure affects the nerves that control eye movement. It is important to seek medical attention if experiencing double vision, as it can be a symptom of a serious underlying condition.
Would increased water retention lead to increased blood pressure?
It will absolutely raise your blood pressure because sodium constricts veins & vessels your heart needs to use more pressure to force blood flow.
Observation of this condition might lead to tests for anemia or low blood pressure?
pallor
