Glaucoma is a dangerous disease. The main problem is that in the early stages it can be difficult to identify the disease, since a person may not feel discomfort.
The first signs can be noticed after a decrease in visual acuity and an increase in intraocular pressure.
Doctor Oksana Levkina spoke about this in more detail, reports the publication Gazeta.Ru .
As the ophthalmologist noted, pain in the eyes, a “veil” may appear, and it may also seem as if there is a halo around light sources.
It is very important to identify the problem in time to begin the treatment process.
It is for this reason that it is necessary to undergo periodic examinations to check your vision, eye pressure, as well as the condition of the optic disc, etc.
This is especially true for men and women who have a family history of glaucoma.
According to Levkina, glaucoma can be treated with drops or surgical intervention.
