Glaucoma - Can it be Controlled?
• - Bv: 1)r. Louis LaPlante
(:laucoma<is an eye ,lisease- in: which the pressure
;nside vont-eves builds up enough to damage the optic
nerve. The optic nerve enters into. the back of the eye from
the brain and transmits signals* necessary for seeing.
.These nerve cells are delicate and extremely, small.
:neasunng about, i)20;000 of an inch in diameter.• For this
reason. they are easily damaged when compressed long.
,enough, and may eventually die. Their death causes
nerniarient vision loss.. • .
• The increase in pressure happens .when 'he
passages that normally allow fluid in voter eves to :rain
become clogged or .blocked. The reasons- that ' hest
passages: become blocked are not exactly known. however,
t loss of body tissue elasticity with increasing age t:
thought to be itfactor. . -
-
• It should he mentioned that there are some •
ndividuals who develop glaucoma• and have normai we
pressure readings. These eases are much less einnmon and
;nay tie due to -inadequate blood supply`to the eye,:or
:terve cell degeneration.' • . •
• Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness
;n North-Amenca. People:at greatest ,risk are those ;fiver
.tge 40 pers-'oit"s with a• family -history -4 glaucoma,and-
liatietics.•L3Iack people and-. those who are s•iary
Nearsighted are also at higher tisk. • - •
• The mstromon type of -glaucoma usually mdevelops
;radually and .painlessly; without warning signs ,)r
;vrptotns.Unfortunately. a great dein it vision, can. he. lost
'before someone. realizes anything_ is wrong.: A much rarer
type. known as .tcute :angle closure• glaucoina..occurs
rapidly and includes .symptoms of blurr•edvision, coloured
rings around lights. and pain. or. rednetis.in•the eves. .
Glaueotna - cannot be prevented, but .-an .lie
controlled if diagnosed and treated early. In most, cases.
can he slowed or,arrested by strictly adheruig to medical
therapy. Eye drops and/or pills are. the inyst omniun
forms of treatment for --lowering eye pressure. •In sonie.
rases, laser procedures or surgery may he•reyuired.:rlae.
hest defense against glaucoma is to have regular -eye.-.
,•xaminations as. 'recommended `by. your optometrist:.
