Ghost cell glaucoma
A long-lasting vitreous hemorrhage can cause a kind of secondary glaucoma called ghost cell glaucoma (GCG). The trabecular meshwork is blocked by the hard and less flexible ghost cells, which also raises the pressure inside the eyes. When using a slit light to examine the aqueous humor, numerous tiny cells may be visible. The intraocular […]
Narrow Angle Glaucoma
One form of glaucoma, known as narrow-angle glaucoma (NAG), can cause abrupt and irreversible blindness. Less than 10% of all glaucoma diagnoses are due to narrow-angle glaucoma, yet it can still result in severe discomfort, quick vision loss, and even blindness. The drainage angle, a part of the eye that allows fluid to regularly pass […]
What are the advantages of using Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty in the treatment of glaucoma?
Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) has several advantages for treating glaucoma, including:
Why untreated glaucoma can lead to blindness
Glaucoma can lead to blindness because it causes damage to the optic nerve, which is responsible for transmitting visual information from the eye to the brain. This damage can occur when the pressure inside the eye (intraocular pressure) becomes too high, which can happen due to a buildup of fluid in the eye. Over time, […]

Because of this, it is crucial to keep the eye pressure within a normal range. Ocular hypertension, also […]
10 Things to Do Today to Prevent Vision Loss From Glaucoma
The crucial connection between the eye and the brain, the optic nerve, is gradually harmed by glaucoma. Typically, glaucoma patients have vision loss prior to any eye issues. However, many people do not even notice they have glaucoma. Primary open-angle glaucoma is the most prevalent form of the disease. When eye fluid known as aqueous […]
Why Pigmentary Glaucoma Needs To Be Treated?
A condition known as glaucoma affects the optic nerve permanently and eventually leads to “Tunnel Vision.” Glaucoma is brought on by an increase in ocular pressure brought on by the drainage channel’s obstruction. A kind of secondary open-angle glaucoma known as pigmentary glaucoma is characterised by pigment that leaks from the iris and obstructs the […]
