We all know
about the camera. It is an electronic device that captures the images and
records the video films. They not only capture the pictures, they also capture
the memories. We see the picture and remember our old times. Some of them are
sweet, some of them are sour. But in the form of the pictures, the memory
always remains. The eyes of ours work exactly like the camera. But instead of a
memory card or a film role, whatever we see is stored in our brain it remains
there for lifetime. Whatever good or bad thing that we see is by the help of
the eyes only.
The eye is
also the most delicate organ of the body. Even a slight irritation in the eye
can cause lot of trouble for us. But unfortunately, there are some eye
conditions that can really harm our eyes a lot. One of them is glaucoma. This
is an eye condition that can damage the optic nerve of your eye due to increase
in pressure inside the eye.
The
increased pressure inside the eye is generally known as intraocular pressure.
It damages the optic nerve that transmits the images to brain. If the pressure
continues to grow on the optic nerve, it can damage the optic nerve severely
and can even cause loss of vision as well.
Though it
is very hard to detect the problem of glaucoma as it shows no early signs and
symptoms, however there are few things that you can notice in person who is
suffering from the problem of glaucoma. He or she may experience pain in the
eye, nausea and vomiting, sudden onset of visual disturbance mainly in low
light, blurred vision, halos around the lights and reddening of the eye.
This is
considered to be a hereditary disorder and can pass on from one generation to
another. Generally, individuals who are above the age of 40 mainly get this
disease. Normally this happens when the fluid of aqueous humor that flows out
the eye through a mesh like channel gets blocked due to some reason, then it
can increase the pressure inside the eye. At times the disease of diabetes can
also trigger the problem of glaucoma in a patient. To get treat this nasty eye
condition the ophthalmic serum of Lumigan. This medication is considered as the
best medication for the issue of glaucoma.
