What is Glaucoma?

Glaucoma is a group of diseases that can steal sight without warning or symptoms. Glaucoma is a disease caused by increased intraocular pressure (IOP) resulting either from a malformation or malfunction of the eye’s drainage structures. Left untreated, an elevated IOP causes irreversible damage the optic nerve and retinal fibers resulting in a progressive, permanent loss of vision. The most common form of glaucoma, primary open-angle glaucoma, is associated with an increase in the fluid pressure inside the eye. This increase in pressure may cause progressive damage to the optic nerve and loss of nerve fibers. Vision loss may result. Advanced glaucoma may even cause blindness. Not everyone with high eye pressure will develop glaucoma, and many people with normal eye pressure will develop glaucoma. When the pressure inside an eye is too high for that particular optic nerve, whatever that pressure measurement may be, glaucoma will develop.


Types of Glaucoma

Symptoms

Symptoms or signs of glaucoma are often absent in the earliest stages of the disease. Tragically, impaired vision is sometimes the first sign of glaucoma. In other instances, symptoms and signs of glaucoma may include eye pain, clouded or haloed vision, red eyes, headaches, and nausea


Causes of Glaucoma

High level of stress - has been implicated as a major cause of chronic glaucoma, Nutritional Deficiencies and Poor Digestion, Family History of Glaucoma, Being African-American (glaucoma is the leading cause of blindness among this population), Extreme nearsightedness or farsightedness (higher level and a risk of angle closure), Steroid use.


Risk factors for glaucoma include

Treatment

Glaucoma can be treated with eye drops, pills, laser surgery, eye surgery or a combination of methods. The purpose of treatment is to lower the pressure in the eye so that further nerve damage and vision loss are prevented. Laser trabeculoplasty uses a very focused beam of light to treat the drainage angle of the eye. This surgery makes it easier for fluid to flow out of the front part of the eye, decreasing pressure in the eye. Laser trabeculoplasty may be helpful in treating people with open-angle glaucoma that continues to get worse in spite of medication treatment. It may also be helpful in treating older adults with open-angle glaucoma who are not able to use medications to treat the condition.Laser trabeculoplasty for open-angle glaucoma is usually done before other surgical procedures are tried.


Types of laser trabeculoplasty

There are two types of laser trabeculoplasty: Argon laser trabeculoplasty (ALT) uses a laser to open up the drainage angle of the eye. ALT can cause tissue destruction and scarring of healthy cells in the trabecular meshwork structure. Selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) uses a lower level laser to open the drainage angle of the eye. The selective technique is much less traumatic to the eye than Argon Laser Trabeculoplasty (ALT), which has been the standard laser procedure.


Trabeculotomy

In this operation, a very fine probe is threaded into the main collector channel (Schlemm’s canal). This delicate probe is pushed through into the front chamber of the eye, creating a new drainage channel. This operation is used in certain types of glaucoma or when the cornea is not clear enough to perform a goniotomy.
