Eye Care Tips: Symptomless Disease That Can Cause Vision Loss; Check How to Stay Safe

Eye Care Tips: Eye diseases can be very harmful to people since they make it impossible for them to see. In actuality, glaucoma is an eye condition in which the optic nerve of the eye becomes damaged, resulting in a decrease in vision. Our brain receives all of the information associated with a scene via this optic nerve, enabling us to distinguish objects. In this case, if the optic nerve is under pressure and weakens for whatever reason, the light starts to fade and the capacity to detect objects weakens as well.

No Cure

Vision does not recover in glaucoma, according to Dr. Vineet Sehgal, senior glaucoma physician at Sharp Sight Eye Hospitals. It can only be managed; it cannot be eradicated. The eye's nerve weakens as a result of a steady rise in ocular pressure, and eyesight eventually goes away.

No symptoms

The optic nerve serves as the brain's link to the eye. Through this vein, our eyes get any picture that our eyeballs view, such as one from a camera, and only then are we able to see. This does not have any symptoms. It is crucial to continue having regular eye examinations.

Silent eye-killer

The head of ophthalmology at Paras Hospital, Dr. Rishi Bhardwaj, notes that glaucoma is also referred to as cataract. 'Silent Thief of Vision' is another name for it. Because glaucoma is the cause of blindness and affects vision without posing any serious symptoms. Examining your dilated retina, measuring your eye pressure, and performing other scans and tests are necessary to determine whether or not you have glaucoma.

This illness can also strike children

According to Dr. Vineet Sehgal, children may get this condition later in life or congenitally. They have a few unique symptoms, such as eye enlargement, water leakage, photophobia, prolonged dark room sitting, and the development of white spots in the pupil of the eye.
