Glaucoma secondary to eye trauma - what does this mean

Glaucoma secondary to eye trauma is a condition whereby increased intraocular pressure is caused by an eye injury. this can lead to damage of the optic nerve and vision loss.

What happens during the disease - glaucoma secondary to eye trauma

Glaucoma secondary to eye trauma is caused by an increase in intraocular pressure due to a disruption of the drainage channels within the eye. the trauma to the eye can cause a disruption of the normal fluid outflow from the eye, resulting in an increase in the intraocular pressure. this increased pressure can damage the optic nerve, leading to vision loss and other symptoms associated with glaucoma.

Glaucoma secondary to eye trauma - Prevention

The best way to prevent glaucoma secondary to eye trauma is to wear protective eyewear when engaging in activities that could lead to eye trauma, such as contact sports or activities involving tools or machinery. additionally, regular eye examinations are recommended to monitor for any changes in vision or eye pressure that could indicate the onset of glaucoma.

Main symptoms of the disease glaucoma secondary to eye trauma

Decreased visual acuity

(Reduced eyesight, Blurred vision, Fuzzy vision, Hazy vision, Dim vision, Poor vision, Clouded vision, Blind spots, Poor focusing, Decreased sharpness, Loss of visual clarity)

Decreased visual acuity is a symptom of vision loss or impairment. It is characterized by a decrease in the ability to see clearly and distinguish objects at a distance. It can develop gradually over time or be sudden, and may be accompanied by other symptoms such as blurriness, double vision, or se...
