Elevated eye pressure (glucoma) of eye diseases that may cause loss of sight unless detected and treated correctly. The eye is the window of the brain. It sends everything that happens in front of it in the form of currents or nerve impulses through the optic nerve to the brain where it is distinguished there. If the eye pressure has increased and is not detected and treated, it may cause permanent damage to the optic nerve and can not reach these currents to the brain and thus the patient stands up to the vision of the eye.
And the eye in its natural state is in the form of a ball and the reason is the presence of liquid is secreted inside and called Aqueous humour, and even the eye’s eye on the normal rate of fluid inside the eye discharges this fluid to the blood through small channels. Unless this fluid is removed into the blood from the inside of the eye, it causes high eye pressure. And called the disease of high pressure of the eye (glucoma) popular term is (blue water), and called this name is wrong since the water inside the eye is not blue, and perhaps the label came from the meaning of the word “glucoma” where it means in the Greeks ( Blue Waterfalls). It should be noted that the high pressure of the eye and the high pressure of the eye is something else is not related to each other.
The treatment of high glaucoma may require the use of droplets that relieve high eye pressure, the use of pills that reduce the high pressure of the eye, the use of laser radiation or surgery to discharge the liquid in some cases.
The use of eye drops that reduce the high pressure of the eye and several times a day have a good effect on the pressure of the eye as long as used properly and in sufficient quantity and is a permanent treatment should not be stopped or complacency. The doctor may have to perform an eye or laser operation in some cases while continuing to use droplets and / or prescribed pills. It should be noted that the goal of treatment is to reduce the high pressure of the eye and prevent further damage to the optic nerve.
