In these conditions, eye movements of the muscles are tight or confined to the eye can cause an increase in pressure of the eye which is generally temporary but can in some cases lead to damage to the optic nerve. Some studies have involved hypothyroidism as a risk factor for glaucoma, though more studies are not consistent. One theory is that hypothyroidism can cause an abnormal accumulation of substances in the drainage system in the eye, leading to increased pressure of the eye, a known risk factor for the development of glaucoma. Glaucoma can be held by many methods. One method involved the staging of the disease by how much loss of vision in the visual field test. Unfortunately, the visual field tests rely on now for staging may underestimate the severity of the damage, as fixed the normal visual field until there is substantial damage to the optic nerve. Glaucoma may therefore best be staged early in the disease by the amount of damage to the optic nerve.
Once other causes of optic nerve and visual loss has been eliminated, lowering the pressure further with drugs, surgery, or both will usually stabilize conditions. Unfortunately, we can never know exactly how much nerve damage is present, but we can often make a good estimate. In the majority of patients with glaucoma, 60% or even more sometimes nerves can be damaged before any visual field abnormalities can be detected. Therefore, damage glaucomatous optic nerve at this level without losing the visual field is usually regarded as the beginning of glaucoma. The Diagnosis is often made after there is some damage to the vision, but more sensitive diagnostic techniques make it possible to detect the disease earlier, prior to the peripheral vision is lost.
Your doctor will ask you about this and other symptoms that are common to acute glaucoma and also about family health history. Open-angle glaucoma develop more gradually. The doctor checks two things: are there any members of your family have glaucoma and also if you have noticed any changes in Your peripheral vision. There are two important things you can do to help make sure the optic nerve remain healthy. The first is to take the medicine faithfully to defend the intraocular pressure is best for your eyes. The second is to continue to see Your eye doctor at intervals that he showed. If the nerves or your eye pressure changes indicate a subtle early signs of damage, your doctor can adjust your treatment. There are two types of glaucoma, acute and open-angle. Acute occurring abruptly and has certain symptoms, including pain and redness in the eyes, blurred vision
