What is glaucoma?

It is an eye condition where abnormally high intraocular pressure damages the optic nerve. The elevated intraocular pressure places stress on the optic nerve while also restricting blood flow, which further damages the nerve.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is glaucoma genetic?

Just because the parents have glaucoma, it does not necessarily mean that their children will have glaucoma.

In general, open-angle glaucoma and congenital glaucoma are known to run in families.

Ways to Prevent Dry Eye Syndrome

Regular eye examinations

People around their 40s or older should be getting regular eye examinations from a medical professional.

Avoid Stress

Stress can cause increased blood flow and heat in the face, which can naturally affect the eyes and increase pressure.

Good posture

Good posture can help avoid positions that can increase intraocular pressure.

No smoking or alcohol

Drinking alcohol and smoking dehydrates the body, including in the eye. This can make it difficult to control moisture levels in the eyes and increase pressure.

Avoid caffeine

Caffeine can increase intraocular pressure and it is recommended to avoid any intake.
