Athena Eye Care Glaucoma
Defective field of vison in Glaucoma
Here eye pressure rises and damages the optic nerve. It is treacherous because it happens slowly, it is usually painless and the visual loss happens from the peripheral vision and is permanent. It is more common in the elderly who often mistake glaucomatous loss as normal aging. However, modern ophthalmology always screens patients for risk of glaucoma commonly by checking intra ocular pressure. Visual l loss from glaucoma can be prevented in most cases.. Glaucoma suspects today therefore are more common than actual patients with defects of glaucoma. Some of them are put on eye drops or some are just asked to come down fro frequent follow ups. If a glaucoma suspect follows the medical advice, visual damage can be prevented in almost all cases. Family members of glaucoma or glaucoma suspects are more likely to develop glaucoma.
