Glaucoma is an eye disease that shares similarities with systemic conditions like diabetes and hypertension. It leads to a gradual loss of vision in the patient due to damage to the optic nerve caused by increased pressure within the eye. Because the vision loss progresses slowly, patients might not notice it and may delay seeking medical attention until irreversible damage has taken place. Therefore, it is recommended that individuals above the age of 40 undergo an eye checkup at regular intervals to seek immediate glaucoma treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the visual defects?

A blind spot (scotoma) or blind area inside the normal field of one or both eyes is known as a visual field defect. The blind patches or zones are usually permanent, but they can be transitory and moving in some conditions, such as the scotoma of a migraine headache.

What is the most common diagnostic test to identify eye disorders?

Ultrasound of the eye detects and diagnoses problems in and behind the eye using high-frequency sound waves. When a doctor doesn't have a good view into or beyond the eye, or needs to evaluate a specific lesion, an ultrasound of the eye is employed.

What is referred to as an usual ophthalmic examination?

An ophthalmologist or optometrist performs a complete battery of tests during a normal ocular checkup. These doctors are experts in the field of ophthalmology. These tests will be used to assess your vision as well as the health of your eyes. A thorough eye exam or a routine eye exam are other terms for a standard ophthalmic checkup. Sri Ramakrishna Hospital’s top specialists offer a wide variety of ophthalmic procedures helping restore vision in people with difficulties.

What is considered normal eyesight?

If you can see 20/20, it means that your eyesight is normal. Some people have 20/15 vision or 20/10 vision, which is better than 20/20. This means that you can see something, like a line on an eye chart, from 20 feet away that most people can see from 15 or 10 feet away.

Is glaucoma considered serious?

Glaucoma is a serious eye disease that lasts for life and can cause blindness if it isn't treated. But most people with glaucoma don't have to go blind because of it. That's because glaucoma can be controlled with modern treatments, and there are many ways to keep your eyes from getting worse from glaucoma.

Can refractive vision errors be treated completely?

When the shape of the eye keeps light from focusing directly on the retina, this is called a refractive error. This can happen for a number of reasons, such as if the eyeball is too long or too short, if the shape of the cornea changes, or if the person is getting older. Refractive errors can be fixed with the right treatment.
