It's Glaucoma. That is the common name.
Chronic Glaucoma refers to open-angle glaucoma, where the increase in eye pressure happens slowly over time without obvious symptoms initially. Acute Glaucoma refers to angle-closure glaucoma, which occurs suddenly with severe symptoms like pain, redness, and blurred vision, requiring urgent medical attention.
Glaucoma itself is not infectious but sometimes glaucoma can be caused by a complicated ocular infections like keratitis that is caused by herpes virus. Complicated herpes virus infection can cause glaucoma.
Atropine is contraindicated in patients predisposed to narrow-angle glaucoma because it can cause pupil dilation (mydriasis), which may lead to increased intraocular pressure. In narrow-angle glaucoma, the drainage angle of the eye is already compromised, and dilation can further obstruct the drainage of aqueous humor. This can precipitate an acute glaucoma attack, resulting in severe pain and potential vision loss. Therefore, alternatives that do not induce pupil dilation are preferred in these patients.
glaucoma is inherited in an autosomal dominantpattern.which is dominant.
If left untreated glaucoma causes blindness.
