Glaucoma in endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases - what does this mean
Glaucoma in endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases is caused by a combination of increased intraocular pressure due to fluid accumulation in the eye, and impaired retinal circulation caused by metabolic disturbances such as diabetes, hypothyroidism, or vitamin deficiencies. these metabolic disturbances can lead to an imbalance in the production of aqueous humor, resulting in increased pressure in the eye and damage to the optic nerve.
What happens during the disease - glaucoma in endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases
Glaucoma is a condition in which the pressure in the eye increases and can lead to damage to the optic nerve. this can be caused by a number of endocrine, nutritional, and metabolic diseases, including diabetes, thyroid disorders, and vitamin deficiencies. these diseases can lead to an increase in the production of aqueous humor, which is the fluid that circulates in the eye, and can cause an increase in eye pressure. if left untreated, this can lead to damage to the optic nerve and vision loss.

How does a doctor diagnose
- Comprehensive eye exam
- Tonometry test
- Gonioscopy
- Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
- Visual Field Test
- Pachymetry Test
- Endocrine testing (blood tests)
- Nutritional assessment (dietary history, anthropometric measurements)
- Metabolic testing (blood tests)
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal of the treatment: To reduce intraocular pressure and improve vision.
- Regular monitoring of intraocular pressure
- Medication to reduce intraocular pressure
- Laser therapy
- Surgery to reduce intraocular pressure
- Nutritional counseling to improve overall health
- Endocrine therapy to regulate hormones
- Metabolic therapy to regulate metabolism
No Hospitalization Required
Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established
Glaucoma in endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases - Prevention
The prevention of glaucoma in endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases involves controlling blood sugar levels, maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle, and avoiding smoking. additionally, regular eye exams are recommended to detect any changes in vision or eye pressure.
