02. Understanding the Common Causes of Kala Motiya

Symptoms of Glaucoma
  • Elevated Eye Pressure: High intraocular pressure is a primary cause.
  • Aging: Growing older heightens susceptibility.
  • Hereditary Influence: Family history affects occurrence.
  • Eye Health History: Past issues increase vulnerability.
  • Underlying Health Conditions: Diabetes, hypertension, and more contribute.
  • Steroid Usage: Prolonged steroids elevate likelihood.
  • Corneal Thinness: Thin corneas correlate with risk.
  • Optic Nerve Blood Flow: Poor flow links to onset.
  • Eye Structure: Specific structures impact risk.

03. Types of Glaucoma Diseases

It can be classified in various types. The common types are as follows:

  • Open Angle: It is a vision condition that can sneak up without showing any early signs. Imagine having a tiny drainage system in your eye that helps regulate pressure. Over time, this drainage system becomes blocked up, leading to pressure build-up in your eyes and eventually becoming inoperable.
Open Angle Glaucoma

The tricky part is, you might not notice anything wrong until it's quite advanced. By then, the pressure has already harmed your optic nerve, which connects your eye to your brain. This damage can lead to vision loss that's hard to recover.

It must be diagnosed early to prevent vision loss. Intraocular pressure, optic nerve, and visual field testing can help diagnose the condition early. Intraocular pressure is reduced to prevent optic nerve injury. Eye drops, oral drugs, laser therapy (like trabeculoplasty), or surgery (such trabeculectomy or drainage implant techniques) can do this.

  • Angle Closure: It is like a sudden traffic jam in your eye. Imagine a drain in your eye that lets out fluid to maintain the right pressure. In this eye disease, the drain gets blocked suddenly, causing pressure to shoot up quickly.
Angle Closure Glaucoma

When this happens, you might feel intense eye pain, see halos around lights, and your vision can get blurred. It's like your eye is sending out signals that something's wrong.

This condition needs immediate attention because the pressure rise can hurt your optic nerve, which is vital for clear vision. If you experience these symptoms, don't wait. Consult our eye specialist to avoid any serious damage and keep your vision safe.

  • Developmental: It, also known as congenital or infantile glaucoma, is rare. It is visible at birth or early childhood. The eye's drainage system develops abnormally, causing fluid outflow problems and high intraocular pressure (IOP).
Developmental Glaucoma

If you notice anything strange about your child's eyes or if they seem uncomfortable, don't wait. See our Paediatric Glaucoma Specialist at the earliest.


04. Why this eye disease is called ‘Silent Thief of Vision’?

Imagine there's a sneaky thief in your house, but you don't know they're there until your things start disappearing. That's a bit like this eye disease. It's called the 'silent thief of vision' because it can steal your sight without you even noticing.

Eye problems don't usually come with obvious warnings or pain. Instead, they usually develop slowly over time as pressure builds in your eyes and damages the optic nerve (the part responsible for seeing). By the time something goes amiss, your vision may have already been impaired significantly- and unfortunately there may be no way back.

Routine eye exams are essential. Your eye doctor can catch it early, before it does too much damage. So, even if you don't feel anything strange, make sure to visit your eye doctor regularly to keep your vision safe from this sneaky thief.
