Glaucoma may be delayed by eye drops

Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness. The cause of eye damage in some otherwise healthy eyes is a raised pressure within the eye, (the intraocular pressure), that can damage the nerve over a period of time and this damage results in poor blood supply or weak end eye structure.// Its caused when raised pressure inside the eyeball damages the optic nerve leading to the brain....

Glaucoma & Ocular Hypertension more likely in patients with refractive errors

A study which appeared in the clinical journal of Ophthalmology concludes that farsightedness appears to be associated with a five-year risk of ocular hypertension, and nearsightedness is associated with a significantly increased prevalence// of glaucoma, in Caucasians. The study was conducted with nearly 5000 participants, aged between 43 to 84, who received baseline assessments of refra...

Progression of Glaucoma could be controlled with early detection

Glaucoma, according to doctors, is a disease of the eye, which has no early warning signs and many affected patients are unaware they have the disease until it has advanced. And once someone has lost his or her vision from glaucoma, it cannot be regained. Researchers in New York and Sweden, focusing on a previous study called The Early Manifest Glaucoma Trial, conducted a study which look...

Tight necktie may raise glaucoma risk

By slowing the drainage of intraocular fluid into the venous system, wearing a tight necktie could increase the risk of glaucoma, according to a report published in the August issue of the British Journal of Ophthalmology. The new findings indicate that wearing a tight necktie produces a significant rise in intraocular pressure in patients with and without glaucoma. Although it could take...

Early Screening Required for Glaucoma

Glaucoma is currently the world’s second leading cause of blindness. More than 66 million people around the world are affected by glaucoma.//New research suggests doctors need to do more than just measure pressure in the eye when screening people for glaucoma. Researchers say examination of the optic nerve is the most effective way to determine whether or not someone has early stage glau...
