View of a retinal fundus showing optic nerve damage related to glaucoma (yellow circle). Secondary types of glaucoma (glaucoma caused by other ailments) include pseudoexfoliation syndrome, pigment dispersion syndrome, neovascular glaucoma, inflammatory glaucoma, trauma, tumours, irregular corneal Glaucoma/pressure lowering drops in ocular hypertension can prevent future glaucoma. If caught early, primary glaucoma is very manageable with either drops or surgery.

These elevated pressures can lead to glaucoma in about 35% of affected individuals. is no known way to prevent pigment dispersion syndrome but treatments can ensure it does not lead to glaucoma Treatments · Regular glaucoma testing with imaging and peripheral vision testing. · Laser not a condition that will affect vision but it does put the individual at a higher risk of developing glaucoma

Treatments · Regular glaucoma testing with imaging and peripheral vision testing every 6-12 months . · Glaucoma drops that lower eye pressure. · Laser trabeculoplasty removes the fibrous material It leads to glaucoma in only about 50% of individuals but this type of glaucoma has a worse prognosis than primary open angle glaucoma because the condition is so variable and difficult to treat. Typically though, treatment can ensure glaucoma never advances to a point where the effects can harm

Risk Factors Age (over 65), high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, glaucoma/elevated eye pressure ) CRVO, the possibility of full recovery is low due to the high likelihood of macular degeneration, glaucoma can stimulate the growth of blood vessels (neovascularization) into the retina and/or iris and cause glaucoma

genetically inherited condition that typically affects women more than men and is very loosely correlated to glaucoma improve a patients’ vision to 20/50 but its 5-year rejection rate is 15% in healthy eyes and 50% in glaucomatous eyes (eyes with glaucoma).

. · Glaucoma drops to decrease the chance of a second anterior ischemic optic neuropathy episode common and in most cases do cause blind spots that slowly enlarge over time, much like those seen in glaucoma

However, the higher the myopia, the higher the risk of conditions like early cataracts, glaucoma, macular In fact, any amount of myopia increases odds of getting glaucoma by about 50% and early cataracts by

dermatitis, neurofibromatosis, systemic diseases that cause uveitis (inflammation inside the eye), glaucoma These complications may include allergies to eye drops, elevated eye pressures and glaucoma, uveitis

It can also lead to glaucoma-like blind spots with age.

However, smaller eye sizes can increase the risk of angle closure glaucoma.

Other less common issues include styes, xanthelasma, early cataracts, glaucoma, optic nerve swelling

cases of HZO can cause permanent corneal scarring, nerve damage, permanent neuralgia pain, cataracts, glaucoma
