Today we're talking about glaucoma

They occur when the fluid in the eye does not drain properly;

This increases the pressure inside the eye and the optic nerve

Types of glaucoma:

Open angle: occur gradually; As the eye does not drain the fluid inside as well as it should, and as a result, the intraocular pressure increases

Closed angle: It is a medical emergency in this type of glaucoma, the outer edge of the iris (the colored part of the eye) prevents fluid from draining from the front of the eye.

Where the liquid quickly accumulates; This causes a sudden increase in intraocular pressure, and if untreated, it can cause blindness within only a few days.

Therefore, when you feel its symptoms, you should go to the emergency room immediately

Secondary glaucoma: caused by eye injuries, operations, or certain medications

Congenital glaucoma: this affects newborns or children. Due to a congenital defect in the development of the angle of the eye; As a result of poor eye growth
