About
80 million people in the world live in blindness. Of these, about 8 million
people are blind due to glaucoma.
There
is a large part of it in South Asia. In Bangladesh, 2.4 percent of the total
population is suffering from glaucoma. In addition, 11 percent of the population
is at risk of this disease.
Like
other countries in the world, glaucoma is the second most important cause of
blindness in our country. Just because of ignorance, large numbers of people
have become blind. However, it is possible to prevent unexpected blindness if
it is diagnosed in the early stage.
According
to experts, the glucoma eye is a complex disease. In most cases the eyes are
responsible for the internal high pressure. Acne hyper tension is called high
pressure in the eye.
In
this case, normal eye pressure is 11-21 mm. If more than Markari, the ocular-hyper
tension is called. Although the optical nerve or visual field may not change.
However,
whenever the optical nerve or visual field is damaged and the eyes have high
pressure, it is called glucoma. For this, the nerves of the eye are gradually
damaged and gradually decreasing the eyesight. At one stage, the patient was
forced to suffer blindness.
The
Chief Professor of the Glucoma Department of National Institute of Eye Science,
Dr. Iftekhar Md. Munir said there are three types of treatment available in
this disease.
Through
medicines, modern laser treatment and surgery. He said, it is possible to
control glaucoma disease but healing is not possible. The treatment of diabetes
or high blood pressure is to continue the life cycle. The most important aspect
is regular medicines and eye examinations.
Glaucoma week is
celebrated globally every year from 10 to 16 March to create awareness about
the severity of glaucoma.
Eye
silent killer glaucoma
Curse
of blindness. There is no remedy for glaucoma-related blindness, the only way
to prevent it. In the absence of awareness of glaucoma disease, a large
population suffers from unreliable blindness which can be prevented if it can
be diagnosed at the initial stage.
What
is glaucoma?
Glaucoma
is a complicated disease in the eye that the eye nerve gradually gets damaged
and gradually decreases the eyesight. Even if the patient is forced to suffer
blindness at one time. However, treatment with patience can be avoided by
blindness. In most cases the eyes are responsible for the internal high
pressure.
Why
is this disease?
Although
there is no specific reason to be found, it is considered to be the main cause
of today's eyes high pressure. But this may be due to normal pressure.
Usually,
the high level of eye loss gradually damages the eye nerve and disrupts the
gaze. Due to some diseases, this disease can be seen in a deep relationship and
may be due to other diseases such as:
*
Other close relatives of the family (mother, father, grandfather, grandmother,
grandma, grandma, uncle, mama, aunt, puffy)
*
Upper age (forty or higher)
Diabetes
and hypertension
*
Migraine
*
Using nightly high pressure medicines
*
Steroids medicines used for long
*
If the cataract is not operated or delayed
*
Due to other diseases of eyes
*
Birth eye flaw etc.
Among
these, it is possible to control the eyes only with high pressure.
Medical
Treatment:
Glucoma
is possible to control the disease but healing is not possible. The treatment
of diabetes or high blood pressure should be done throughout life. It is not
possible to bring back the vision that is reduced. However, it is necessary to
continue treatment for the vision that will not be reduced.
Common
types of treatment-
*
By medication
*
Laser
*
Shale treatment or surgery
The
main cause of the disease in eyes high pressure is because the eye pressure is
controlled by medicines. If you are not controlled by a drug, you have to use
multiple medicines. After three months of interrogation, the patient will be
tested regularly to see if the disease is in control. For example,
*
Eye Sight test
*
Eye pressure test
*
Scope or visual field test
*
Eye nerve test
The
most important aspect is to use regular medicines and regularly visit the
doctor and follow regular eye exams and follow his advice.
Most
patients have no pain in their eye, nor do they appear to be any signs or
symptoms, so patients and even relatives of the patient do not continue
treatment in the long term as many patients suffer from early blindness.
In
addition to medicines there are other treatments which can be taken by the
doctor on the basis of decision or timely decision. For example, laser
treatment and surgical treatment by which it is possible to control the eye
pressure.
