Treatment of glaucoma in Kharkov

Disorder of intraocular tension leads to gradual atrophy of the optic nerve. Over time, a person begins to notice a decrement in visual acuity, increased eye fatigue. This may indicate the development of glaucoma.

What is glaucoma?

Glaucoma is a progressive disease caused by disorder of the circulation of intraocular fluid and atrophy of the optic nerve. Due to the efflux deterioration, fluid accumulates and creates excessive tension on the eye tissues. This leads to the gradual destruction of the optic nerve, retina and the following consequences:

  • narrowing of the field of view;
  • appearance of "white mist" in front of the eyes;
  • loss of vision up to blindness.

Atrophy of the nervous tissue is irreversible, therefore, early diagnosis and treatment of this disease is necessary. But in the initial stages, the disease is often asymptomatic. Therefore, it is important to visit the clinic every year for the diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma.

The examinations are especially relevant for the following persons in high-risk group:

Despite the fact that age-related changes are a common cause of the development of the disease, glaucoma in a child is not uncommon. It can provoke congenital pathology, heredity, eye injuries, surgery.

Conservative treatment of glaucoma

The treatment regimen is developed by ophthalmologist and depends on the indicators of intraocular tension, their dynamics during the observation period. Usually, drug therapy involves administration of the following:

  • drugs (tablets, drops) normalizing intraocular tension;
  • medicines aimed at improving local blood circulation and tissue nutrition;
  • drugs stimulating metabolism to reduce risk and prevent atrophic changes in the eyes.

If drug therapy gives a good result, then no surgical treatment is required. Timely visit to ophthalmologist and the proper selection of drugs can stop the attack of glaucoma.

The examination plan for acute attack of glaucoma involves the measurement of intraocular tension, monitoring the patient for 24 hours. Drugs normalizing intraocular tension are prescribed immediately. If their administration does not give a result, the surgery is indicative.
