SYMPTOMS OF GLAUCOMA

Glaucoma (Eye Pressure) is a disease, which mainly doesn’t cause complaints at the beginning. Through years it grows slowly and damages visual nerve.

Redness in eye,
Seeing lightened circles around lights in nights
Pain on and around eye,
Headaches becoming evident in mornings,
Blurred vision occasionally

Glaucoma is an insidious disease and mainly it doesn’t show any symptom.

Having glaucoma history in family (genetic susceptibility)
Being elder than 40 years old

High myopy or hypermetropia
Long-dated cortisone treatment (taking as lotion, oral or skin pomade etc.)
Eye injuries, severe inflammation and infection story
Smoking

DIAGNOSIS OF GLAUCOMA

Eye tension measuring with tomometer device,
Evaluation of visual nerve damage (eye ground examination, advanced technology products durvey instruments OCT and HRT),
Visula field test
Examination of eye drainage angle (Gonioscopy),
Advanced methods OCT (optic nerve tomography) and HRT (nerve fiber examination) examining visual nerve and nerve fiber layer

GLAUCOMA TREATMENT

Glaucoma is an insidious disease and mainly it doesn’t show any symptom. Therefore regular eye controls are one of the factors that will increase the effect of treatment.

Medication: There are many lotions in glaucoma treatment. Those lotions decrease intraocular pressure by changing the liquid production in eye.

Usage of those lotions may be periodically or life-long.

Laser treatment: It is applied to patients, who cannot use medication or cannot tolerate the lotions due to side effects.

Surgical treatment: It is a process, in which a small hole is made in white layer of eye and intraocular liquid in eye is taken out.

WHAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED BY GLAUCOMA PATIENTS?

-Patient should keep away from stress
-Patient should have regular sleep routine
-Lard consumption should be less
-Fresh fruits and vegetables should be consumed

Eye tension has no relation with body tension or foods. It is completely related to eye structure.
