Symptoms and Diagnosis
The liquid is produced in the posterior chamber, passes through the pupil into the anterior chamber and then drains via the output channels.
Symptoms and Diagnosis
Initially, the increased intraocular pressure does not cause symptoms. Later, symptoms may include a reduction of peripheral vision, headache (headache) and vague visual disturbances (e.g., the individual sees halos around light bulbs or having difficulty adapting to darkness).
Finally, "tunnel vision" (an extreme narrowing of the visual field that makes it difficult to see objects on either side when the guy looks straight ahead) can occur.
The open-angle glaucoma may be totally asymptomatic until irreversible damage occurs. Usually the diagnosis is established by measuring the intraocular pressure.
Therefore, every routine eye examination should include measurement of intraocular pressure.
Treatment
The treatment may be more successful when instituted immediately. When the vision impairment is severe, treatment can prevent further deterioration, but generally, the complete restoration of sight is not possible. Eye drops can usually control the open angle glaucoma.
Commonly, the first prescribed eye drops containing a beta-blocker (eg, tomfool, bolo, carpool, loll and metalloid), which can decrease the production of fluid in the eye. Parlini may also be useful.
Pupils it contracts and increases drainage from the anterior chamber. Other useful drugs (e.g., epinephrine and diapering caracole) act by improving the drainage or reducing the production of liquid. A carbonic anhydrate inhibitor can be administered orally or dolomite can be used in the form of eye drops.
