What is Glaucoma, How is it Treated?
What is Glaucoma?
The pressure that forms inside the eye cavity is called eye tension. The most important cause of eye tension is the accumulation of eye fluid in the back of the eye due to its inability to drain, compressing the empty space. The nerves located in the back of the eye are damaged due to this pressure, and vision loss can occur if the disease is not treated.
How is Glaucoma Treated?
Eye drops are the most commonly used treatment method for eye tension. However, these drops must be used very regularly. In recent years, the use of lasers for eye tension surgery has also become widespread. The most important point to know about laser eye tension surgery is that this method is not a definitive cure and will only provide a temporary reduction in tension.
