Glaucoma Eye Drops Ethos Bright Eyes

Glaucoma is more common in people over the age of 50, but younger people can be affected as well. Remember, damage is difficult to reverse. It is the second cause of blindness worldwide and nicknamed 'the sneak thief of vision'.

One of the problems with Glaucoma is that it is often not diagnosed until it has reached an advanced stage. For that reason alone, everyone should have regular eye tests, ideally twice a year and also due to the fact that it may take years, unnoticed, to deprive people of their sight and by then it can be too late to treat.

The first signs can be poor peripheral vision and that can gradually increase. It is a sign of impending nerve damage which is difficult to reverse. Indeed, permanent nerve damage to the optic nerve will result in deteriorating sight and blindness.

There are a number of diseases of the optic nerve, glaucoma being one, which involve the loss of retinal ganglion cells in a characteristic pattern of optic neuropathy. Increased intraocular pressure, typically something more than 21mmHg, brings with it the risk of the development of glaucoma. A normal reading is13mmHg. It is possible to develop nerve damage closer to the normal pressure and similarly others can live with high eye pressure for a long time and never suffer any damage.

Glaucoma comes in two main forms

• 'closed angle' or acute glaucoma. This progresses slowly, hence the 'sneak thief of vision' nickname
• 'open angle' or chronic glaucoma and angle closure. This can appear suddenly with side effects including bad headaches
