Definitions

1. Glaucoma is an eye disease that is typically associated with pressure in the eye that results in damage to the optic nerve and ultimately vision loss.
2. Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness in the U.S. It occurs when the pressure inside the eye rises, damaging the optic nerve and causing vision loss. (Web site)
3. Glaucoma is an eye disease where the pressure inside the eye becomes too high resulting in progressive damage to the main nerve of the eye (the optic nerve).
4. Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that gradually steals sight without warning and often without symptoms. (Web site)
5. Glaucoma is the second-most important cause of blindness in the United States (after diabetic retinopathy). (Web site)

Recommended

Glaucoma Screening Test

1. Patients should be told that CIPLAR LA may interfere with the glaucoma screening test.

Congenital Glaucoma

1. In a recent interview with Ronnie Milsap, he said he was born blind due to congenital glaucoma.
2. Although congenital glaucoma is usually present at birth, symptoms generally don’t develop in the infant for a few months.

Acute Glaucoma

1. Because acute glaucoma commonly occurs later in the other eye, surgeons will often recommend surgery in the unaffected eye to prevent a second attack.

Angle Glaucoma

1. Most rare forms of glaucoma respond to the same medications and surgery used for open angle glaucoma.
2. It may be used in patients with open angle glaucoma who are receiving appropriate therapy but is contraindicated in acute narrow angle glaucoma.

Treat Glaucoma

1. It is not uncommon to be on two or more medications at one time to treat glaucoma.

Canine Glaucoma

1. The symptoms of canine glaucoma in the early stages may include squinting, rubbing of the affected eye, redness, and lethargy.

Angle-Closure Glaucoma

1. In patients with angle-closure glaucoma, even average doses may precipitate an attack. (Web site)

Ocular Hypertension

1. Not all people with ocular hypertension will develop glaucoma. (Web site)

Chronic Glaucoma

1. Chronic glaucoma has no symptoms to indicate warning, therefore this is an essential part of the visual examination. (Web site)
2. Because chronic glaucoma has no warning symptoms, half of its victims are unaware they have the condition.

Narrow Angle Glaucoma

1. Eye: CLOZARIL has potent anticholinergic effects and care should be exercised in using this drug in the presence of narrow angle glaucoma.
2. Aceclidine (Glaucostat, Glaunorm, Glaudin) is a parasympathomimetic miotic agent used in the treatment of narrow angle glaucoma. (Web site)
3. Patients with narrow angle glaucoma. (Web site)

Developing Glaucoma

1. Most people at risk for developing glaucoma due to high eye pressure do not need treatment, according to a large, multi-center study.
2. If you have diabetes, you may get cataracts at a younger age and your chances of developing glaucoma are doubled.

Open-Angle Glaucoma

1. It may be used in patients with open-angle glaucoma who are receiving appropriate therapy, but is contraindicated in acute narrow-angle glaucoma. (Web site)

Neovascular Glaucoma

1. CONCLUSION: Crohn disease may be associated with retinal vasculitis and, thus, neovascular glaucoma. (Web site)
2. The high pressure (called neovascular glaucoma) can cause permanent changes, resulting in visual loss, pain, even loss of the eye.

Glaucoma Patients

1. Some common problems involve our glaucoma patients and the tests and procedures you use to treat these patients.

Potential

1. The effects of glaucoma on the latency of the multifocal visual evoked potential.
2. Extracts of fennel seed have been shown in animal studies to have a potential use in the treatment of glaucoma. (Web site)

Blurred Vision

1. Symptoms that you could be developing glaucoma include blurred vision, loss of peripheral vision, halo effects around lights, and painful or reddened eyes. (Web site)

Headache

1. Glaucoma. (Some research has associated hypothyroidism with an increased risk for glaucoma.) Headache. (Web site)

Diagnosis

1. The subject has failed previous treatment with duloxetine for DNP. Subject has a diagnosis of narrow-angle glaucoma. (Web site)

Physicians

1. For example, physicians may frequently screen pilots for vision changes caused by glaucoma or cataracts.
2. The American Glaucoma Society is a subspecialty society in ophthalmology that promotes education and research about glaucoma among physicians and scientists.

Caution

1. Both duloxetine and venlafaxine should be avoided or used with caution if you have narrow-angle glaucoma or raised intraocular pressure.

Lower

1. Treatment for glaucoma includes medications to lower the pressure inside the eye and sometimes surgery. (Web site)

Pressures

1. Some patients develop glaucoma in the absence of elevated intraocular pressure, and others fail to show much improvement even when the pressures are reduced. (Web site)

Doctor

1. Tell your doctor your medical history, including: any allergies, current infections, other nasal problems, glaucoma, cataracts.

Test

1. If you have glaucoma, you must tell the staff before the test, as a different injection will need to be used. (Web site)

Iodine

1. Lack of iodine may be involved in production of Parkinson's disease and glaucoma. (Web site)

Fluids

1. Patients with glaucoma should have plenty of fluids, but they should drink them in small amounts over the course of a day.

Fluid

1. For most people with glaucoma, regular use of medications will control the increased fluid pressure. (Web site)

Individuals

1. Duloxetine: Individuals with uncontrolled narrow-angle glaucoma should not take duloxetine.

Severe

1. Glaucoma, Acute closure angle 2 Age 55-70, Acute onset of severe pain and blurred vision, nausea and vomiting. (Web site)

Complication

1. PURPOSE: To report a case of neovascular glaucoma as a complication of retinal vasculitis in Crohn disease.

Genetically

1. Many bloodlines are genetically prone to glaucoma, luxating patella, and ectropion ("cherry eye").

Blocked

1. When this drainage is blocked, a disease called glaucoma can result. (Web site)
2. In narrow-angle glaucoma, the channel is blocked, whereas open-angle glaucoma has other causes, such as the body producing too much aqueous humor. (Web site)

Injection

1. This injection should not be given to patients with a history of glaucoma and can cause temporary double-vision in these patients. (Web site)
2. The x-ray technologist must take note of any history of glaucoma in case an injection of glucagon is needed. (Web site)

Adults

1. A person with diabetes is nearly twice as likely to get glaucoma as other adults.
2. In adults, acute myopia and secondary angle closure glaucoma may occur.

Dogs

1. Cataracts, glaucoma, and entropion are seen in both dogs and humans. (Web site)
2. Glaucoma in dogs, as in humans, is an abnormal buildup of fluid inside of the eye.
3. Cataracts, canine glaucoma, and entropion are seen in both dogs and humans.
