Glaucoma in other diseases classified elsewhere - what does this mean
Glaucoma in other diseases classified elsewhere is caused by a build-up of pressure in the eye, which can be caused by a variety of underlying conditions, such as inflammation, tumors, or trauma. this pressure can damage the optic nerve, resulting in vision loss and even blindness. early diagnosis and treatment is key to preserving vision.
What happens during the disease - glaucoma in other diseases classified elsewhere
Glaucoma is a disease of the eyes caused by increased pressure in the eye, which can lead to damage to the optic nerve and vision loss. it is often caused by a blockage of the fluid drainage channels in the eye, resulting in a buildup of pressure in the eye and an increase in the intraocular pressure. it can also be caused by other diseases, such as diabetes, which can cause damage to the blood vessels supplying the eye, leading to an increased pressure in the eye.
Clinical Pattern
More details coming soon
How does a doctor diagnose
- Comprehensive eye exam, including visual field testing
- Tonometry (measurement of intraocular pressure)
- Gonioscopy (examining the drainage angle of the eye)
- Optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging
- Pachymetry (measurement of corneal thickness)
- Fundus photography
- Visual acuity testing
- Visual field testing
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main Goal of Treatment: To reduce intraocular pressure and preserve vision.
- Medication - such as prostaglandin analogs, beta-blockers, alpha-agonists, carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, and miotic agents.
- Laser Surgery - such as selective laser trabeculoplasty, laser iridotomy, and cyclophotocoagulation.
- Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery - such as trabecular bypass surgery, canaloplasty, and minimally invasive glaucoma surgery.
- Conventional Glaucoma Surgery - such as trabeculectomy, tube shunt surgery, and viscocanalostomy.
- Implantable Devices - such as glaucoma drainage implants.
No Hospitalization Required
Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established
Glaucoma in other diseases classified elsewhere - Prevention
Glaucoma in other diseases classified elsewhere can be prevented by early detection and treatment of the underlying condition, as well as avoiding risk factors such as smoking, high blood pressure, and diabetes. regular eye exams should be done to check for any signs of glaucoma, and any changes in vision should be reported to a doctor immediately.
