Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a disease of the blood vessels of the retina of the eye. It occurs when there is immense pressure built on the blood vessels of the eye due to blockage in natural drainage of fluids of the eye. It results in blurred vision and if remain untreated for long often leads to partial or total vision loss.
The disease usually affects people older in age, but sometimes young people as well small children also become affected by the chronic disease. A very firm example of what damage an untreated glaucoma can do is found in the Late Zohra Sehgal, the grand old lady of Indian cinema.
Sehgal was diagnosed with glaucoma at the age of one and lost vision in one of her eyes due to the disease which couldn’t be restored through her lifetime.
Usually there are two types of glaucoma-open angled and closed angled. The former one is a progressive disease that takes several years to show its symptoms. While the latter one is a rare disease and causes immediate loss of vision. It is normally caused by severe trauma and eye injury.
