Chronic glaucoma is a group of disorders that affect the eye. The most important cause is increased fluid pressure resulting from overly slow drainage of fluid.
You get what is called as glaucoma. You have acute and chronic glaucoma.
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.

The understanding of acute or chronic pathophysiology of the nervous and endocrine system can affect one's practice negatively if enough knowledge is not present to accurately diagnose conditions in the nervous and endocrine systems.
Chronic opthalmic conditions include glaucoma, cataracts, uveitis, and retinitis. Glaucoma can be treated with a variety of pharmacologic agents depending on if its wide-angle or closed-angle, acute or chronic. Inflammation and infections can be treated with antibiotics and immunosuppressants, respectively. Cataracts can be surgically corrected.

Lasers are now used to treat both closed-angle and open-angle glaucoma. Peripheral iridectomy is used for people with acute angle-closure glaucoma attacks and chronic closed-angle glaucoma
at is the pathophysiology what is the pathophysiology of myoma
Glaucoma can be acute or chronic and both have high intraocular pressure which is higher in acute than chronic. Chronic glaucoma is the most common type and the patient will not feel any thing until the disease is advanced with constriction in the peripheral visual field that increase gradually till the patient only see through the center of his vision. The acute type which is due to angle closure glaucoma comes with red eye, increase tearing, photophobia or light sensitivity, severe pain that radiate to the head causing headache, nausea, vomiting, blurring of vision due to corneal edema. Acute glaucoma is a medical emergency that should be treated as soon as possible.
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.
there is no pathophysiology for NSD!!
