Glaucoma

Glaucoma is an infection of the eye in which liquid weight inside the eye rises - if left untreated the patient may lose vision, and even get to be distinctly visually impaired. The illness for the most part influences both eyes, albeit one may have more serious signs and manifestations than the other. There is a little space in the front of the eye called the "foremost chamber". Clear fluid streams all through the front chamber, this liquid feeds and showers adjacent tissues. On the off chance that a patient has glaucoma, the liquid does not deplete appropriately - it empties too gradually - from the eye. This prompts to liquid develop, and weight inside the eye rises. Unless this weight is cut down and controlled, the optic nerve and different parts of the eye may get to be distinctly harmed, prompting to loss of vision. There are two primary sorts of glaucoma, open edge and shut point glaucoma. The liquid in the eye courses through a region between the iris and cornea, where it escapes by means of the trabecular meshwork - "edge" alludes to this zone. The trabecular meshwork is made of sponky tissue lined by trabeculocytes. Liquid channels into s set of tubes, known as Schlemm’s trench, from which they stream into the blood framework.
