In the recent past, cases of Glaucoma disease have sharply increased in San Antonio and other parts of the globe. This type of disease mainly affects the human eyes, and if not treated at early stages, it has been confirmed to cause permanent loss of the ability to see. The condition usually gets worse over long periods of time without treatment. Mostly, the condition is inherited. Glaucoma San Antonio should therefore be identified during its early onset stages.

The increased pressure is called intraocular pressure, and it results in massive damage to the optic nerves. The optic nerves are usually responsible for transmitting images into the brain. If the pressure persists, it might result in permanent visual impairment, in a few years. The majority of Glaucoma patients do not usually experience the symptoms during the early stages of the disease, it is important for you to visit your eye doctor frequently, in order for the condition to be checked, diagnosed and consequently treated to avert long-term loss of vision.

This type of a disease exists in two different types. One type is called Open-Angle glaucoma, also called wide-angle. This is the most prevalent type of the disease, according to recent reports released by credible health experts. In this type, the eye structures usually appear normal, though the fluids inside the eyes do not flow in proper fashion through the eye drains, or rather the trabecular meshwork.

In addition, most of the Glaucoma patients have admitted that their family has some history of suffering from such a disease in their lineages. The disease is majorly inherited, and goes on through generations. Therefore, if your family has some history of the disease, however insignificant, you need to get checked promptly, to ascertain that the condition does not develop, or it is treated early, if it had already kicked in.

This therefore results in sudden building up of pressure in the inside of the eye. Angle-closure type of disease is condition is normally associated with exponentially high degrees of long-sightedness, and the establishment of cataracts, which is a clouding of lenses that are inside eyes.

Controversy has also courted, with regards to the signs or symptoms of the disease. The very first indicative of having the disease is the loss of side vision or peripheral ability, which may go unnoticed and unsuspected, until very late in the condition. For this reason, the eye condition is sometimes called the sneaking thief of eyesight ability.

Detecting the Glaucoma condition early enough, is one of the most critical reasons why you need to have complete examinations with competent eye specialists once in one or even two years. In various circumstances, intraocular pressures may rise to very intense and severe levels. In such cases, sudden pain in the eyes, frequent headaches, blurred visions, as well as appearance of halos within lights, usually occur.

In conclusion, Glaucoma is serious eyes condition that cot only affects residents of San Antonio, but the entire world at large. Therefore, people are encouraged to ensure that they are checked regularly for the condition, to avert the future consequences such as eyesight loss, among other adverse effects.
