Type of Glaucoma
Chronic open- angle Glaucoma: The optic nerve becomes sensitive to normal eye pressure, Glaucoma treatment is necessary to prevent risk and further vision loss. Open- angle Glaucoma: In these Glaucoma can’t detect in its early stages, as there is an increasing damage to the optic nerve will result into blank spots will appear in your field of vision. Closed-angle Glaucoma: In these some eyes are formed with the iris too close to the drainage angle. The small and farsighted iris can be sucked into the drainage angle and block it completely.
Treatment for Glaucoma
Medications: In these ophthalmologists will recommend eye drops on a daily basis. It helps to control lower eye pressure, decreasing the amount of aqueous fluid produced or improving the flow through the drainage angle. Laser Surgery: In open-angle Glaucoma, laser treatment is used to modify the drain and control the eye pressure. In closed-angle Glaucoma, the laser will create a hole in the iris to improve the flow of the aqueous fluid to the drain. Surgery: In these treatments ophthalmologist will use fine microsurgical instruments to create a new drainage channel for the aqueous fluid to leave the eye.
