Glaucoma occurs if the aqueous humor is not removed rapidly enough or if it is made too rapidly, causing pressure to build-up. The high pressure distorts the shape of the optic nerve and destroys the nerve.
The exact answer to this question is unanswerable because a person's point of view depends on what 'side' they are on: God's or Satan's. For example, if death and destruction has the result of causing people to do what you want and furthering your plan then it is justifiable. From a Christian perspective, perhaps the worst 'vision' from Satan's point of view, going from one extreme to the other, would be Satan's extreme joy in fulfilling his dream of killing the Messiah, compared with His resurrection 3 days later and the ongoing conversion of innumerable little-Christs or Christians.
The normal field of vision of humans extends to approximately 60 degrees towards the nose from the vertical meridian to each eye. It extends to about 100 degrees away from the nose from the vertical meridian.
Glaucoma is an increase in pressure in the eyeball. If the pressure increases to above your blood pressure, blood can not get into the eye to feed the retina and it will die and you will go blind.
it is an optical illusion not a compulsive habit, like reading mania. the best knwon example would be movies. another example is the illusion of motion of sequential traffic signs -often called a (Rabbit) from dog-track usage, or the incorrectly termed running lights around theatre marquees which create an illusion of a sort of conveyor belt like motion when in fact the whole thing is stationary and the lights merely flash on and off in a controlled pattern, thus the optic nerve persists in seeing this thing as a conveyor-belt like motion, but it is standing still in reality. these lights are correctly called theatre marquee lights or circline or circle-lights, not Running Lights. Running olights are operational night lights on ships, from port to starboard, Red port) White (overhead, mast heads) and Green- Starboard. maritime traffic rules are incumbent on the position angles of these lights- see and be seen. The colors are simlar to the Italian Flag.
Surgery is reccomended. There is a surgery that can remove the cataract glaucoma can be treated with drops but there is no cure
One of the leading causes of blindness in the US, glaucoma results from a group of eye conditions which causes optic nerve damage due to abnormally high pressure inside the eye.
The simultaneous inward movement of the eyes is known as convergence. When both eyes are aligned onto a target, the brain should perceive a single image. Slight inaccuracies in convergence can cause a person to see double vision, or diplopia. Because the convergence visual system is also tied to the focusing system, many people who have problems with convergence also have problems with focusing and thus have blurred vision. This linkage between focusing and convergence is known as accommodative conververgence.
If the eyes cannot converge accurately to achieve single vision, usually the person will have a convergence insufficiency, convergence excess, or strabismus. Convergence insufficiency means that the eyes do not turn inwards enough to lock onto a target usually up close. This will result in double vision, difficulties in reading, and poor reading comprehension particularly in school-aged children who are not treated or are never diagnosed because they assume it is normal.
Convergence excess is when the eyes turn in too much. Symptoms can be quite similar to convergence insufficiency except the treatment is more challenging. The gold standard for treatment for both convergence insufficiency and convergence excess is vision therapy or orthoptics. This involves exercises and activities to improve muscle coordination and focus through a doctor-directed therapy program. The duration of treatment varies on the patient's age and the severity of the condition. On the otherhand, strabismus refers to eyes that are misaligned even while looking straight ahead and not just the inward movement of the eyes. Treatment for strabismus can include just getting a pair of glasses, to adding prism to your lens correction, vision therapy, and eye muscle surgery if the other options are unsuccessful.
Myopia means nearsightedness. A person with myopia has trouble seeing close things clearly. Glasses help to be able to read things up close for people with myopia.
Cylindrical powers are those ones that are present only in a particular axis. The powers are noted by convention to be positive or negative. The axis at which the cylindrical power is required is specifically noted.can be corrected by undergoing LASIK surgery when adult
blind cant see and understand so they need to help and support with reading and they cant see or work.
Answer
The LACK of vitamin A (due to malnutrition) causes 70% of childhood blindness around the world. That translates into 500,000 children going blind every year due to lack of vitamin A.
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.
Yes, you can be nearsighted in one eye and farsighted in the other, but that's rare. Since both conditions are caused by the shape of the eye, they're usually the same.
There is also a condition called astigmatism in which it is possible to be both nearsighted & farsighted in the same eye ... but to the person with this condition vision is just a blur without correction.
It seems they can. I had a cataract replaced and before that I was near sighted. When I went to get my new contact, since my astigmatism was not fully corrected by the implanted lens, it was found after several examinations of not being able to fit me with the first prescription after the surgery that on a next exam my vision had done a 180 turn to farsighted. It went from a negative - to a + prescription and as of yet have not been able to fit me with a proper prescription
Cataract surgery and it's expensive so at least get one eye done. Dogs get cataracts just like people do. Border Collies can be prone to this disease. I live in Canada and friends of ours (live in Canada) have a Border Collie and had cataracts on both eyes. They could only afford to get one eye done and it was almost $3,000. You can speak with your vet and see if there is any way you can pay for a medical plan for your cat and then get the surgery done which will be a lot less. At least give the dog the sight of one eye.

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.

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
Corneal crosslinking is a technique that uses ultraviolet light and riboflavin to prevent further steepening or thinning of the cornea. This surgical procedure is usually done where the epithelium at the front of the eye is removed prior to exposing the eye to ultraviolet light treatment.
Because corneal epithelium is removed, the patient will in essence have a corneal abrasion that can last anywhere from one week to even a couple of months. Healing times can vary per patient but expect discomfort during the period where the cornea has to recover from the surgical procedure. During the healing process, it is normal to have antibiotic coverage to prevent an eye infection. In addition, a bandage contact lens may be applied to improve comfort during the healing process.
