Before I go on saying the cause of glaucoma I will first tell you what glaucoma is. This question have been trending on many people which is WHAT IS GLAUCOMA? AND WHAT IS THE CAUSE OF IT?
Glaucoma is a condition of increased pressure within the eyeballs, causing gradual lost of sight, it is also a group of related eye diseases that damage the optic nerve it is one of the main causes of blindness around the world Now I believe we all know what it is now.
TYPE OF GLAUCOMA
There are two types of glaucoma:(1) the unsuspecting open angle
(2) acute angle closure glaucoma.
Open-angle glaucoma comes with no symptoms.people who have this usually do not notice a problem with their vision until the diseases becomes full blown.people with this diseases notice they have decreased vision as if they need to squint like they are looking through a tunnel.
A person with acute angle closure,on the other hand, experiences headaches,eye redness,glaucomatus halos and eye pain
A study finds that glaucoma and blood pressure are strongly linked.this link is called ocular perfusion pressure in the eye,the possibility of blood delivering oxygen to the eye and to remove unwanted products is significantly reduced, while some studies have shown that as much as 50% of people with normal eye range still end up having glaucoma while the reverse can also be the case for those with high eye pressure a person's optic nerve can carry.
Pls beware of this diseases cause you cannot be too sure,a visit to the hospital for eye exams can help keep your eyes in check and slow down the progression of the diseases.
Thanks for sharing this fact. This should help more people get insight their eyes health.
