Generally a basic eye examination by ophthalmologists, orthoptists and optometrists will check for glaucoma. This is done by looking for changes to the shape of the eye.

Hemianopia or hemianopia is a defect in the right or left half of the visual field. It can affect one eye but can also affects both eyes.

Laser eye surgery is performed on the cornea or outer surface of the eye. Cataracts develop on the lens which is inside of the eye, behind the colored part of the eye (the iris) and the pupil. If you have a cataract now, you will want to first get it removed before having laser vision surgery. If you don't have cataracts now and want to have LASIK, go right ahead. Know that having LASIK won't prevent you from developing cataracts in the future, though. The good news is that having LASIK won't prevent you from having successful cataract surgery in the future either. Hope that helps!

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.

If caught early, glaucoma-related blindness is easily prevented. However, since it does not produce symptoms until late in its cycle, periodic tests for the disease are necessary.

it means you have implants after cataract surgery.

There are many different types of Glaucoma, but I don't have time to tell you all of them, do I?

I'll tell you the two most common types though.

Two types of Glaucoma is "open angle" and "closed angle". Closed angle is when Glaucoma comes suddenly and painfully. Vision loss comes quickly and but the pain quickly leads those infected with it to medical help before the permanent damage is done. Open angle lets the glaucoma disease progress slowly and unpainfully. The person infected usually doesn't know they have vision loss until damage is permanent.

Alcohol and cigarrette smoke are considered teratogens or an agent that can cause abnormal prenatal development. Anytime there is a defect in development of a fetus, there is a risk for miscarriage. In the case of alcohol and cigarrettes, this will not necessarilly happen if there is limited exposure. However, is the consumption is on a repeated basis, this could cause significant harm to the unborn baby. Miscarriages occur usually because of a drop in hormones. Your best bet would be to consult your doctor.

Answer: In a word, YES. Alcohol and drugs. A mother's use of alcohol and drugs (including tobacco) increases her child's risk of mental retardation, physical abnormalities, and even behavioral disorders. Babies of drug-addicted mothers have even been known to show signs of withdrawal. Although some people believe that an occasional glass of wine is not harmful, experts usually recommend total abstinence during pregnancy. Expectant mothers should also beware of second-hand smoke. Studies indicate that 15 to 20 percent of all diagnosed pregnancies end in miscarriage," says The World Book Encyclopedia. "But the risk of miscarriage is highest during the first two weeks following conception (fertilization), a time at which most women do not even know they are pregnant." Another reference states that over "80 percent of miscarriages occur in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy," of which at least half are thought to be caused by defects in the chromosomes of the fetus. These defects are not the result of similar defects in the chromosomes of the mother or father.

Other causes of miscarriage may stem from the mother's health. Medical authorities point to hormonal and immune system disorders, infections, and abnormalities in the cervix or the uterus of the mother. Chronic diseases such as diabetes (if poorly controlled) and high blood pressure may also be factors.

Answer also: I agree with the above because studies prove that smoking and alcohol harm the fetus. If you do not miscarry, what about the health of the poor little newborn if the baby survives. Please get the help needed to help you quit if you are pregnant or thinking about getting pregnant. The Bible tells us "children are a gift from God". Please view them the way God does.

A Good optometrist will check for glaucoma in several ways. Family History Intra-ocular pressure: Non-contact tonometry or contact tonometry (better) Appearance of your optic nerve (preferably with a retinal photograph) Your visual field using automated perimetry, which maybe repeated several times. Other machines can be used which aim to measure the thickness of your nerve fibre layer through indirect measurements which can be useful for tracking nerve changes and glaucoma progression but cannot be used solely for diagnosis. It takes a combination of all these measures to diagnose glacuoma

If it is only slightly bigger then I would think your baby is going to be left handed.

The bigger left ear and bigger left eye has really nothing to do with being left or right handed.

Our heart pumps on the left hand side. So the blood comes easier to your left body parts. Usually your left testicle hangs more down because it's slightly bigger and the left breast is usually bigger.

Ask the doctor at the next check up.

Avastin is indicated for treatment of colorectal cancer, kidney cancer, and glioblastoma multiforme. It is no longer indicated for metastatic breast cancer, as it was shown to be ineffective for that application.

Avastin, or Bevacizumab as it is also called, is also used to treat some angiogenesis-related degenerative diseases of the eye including age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and diabetic macular edema.
