Health Pack for Glaucoma

Glaucoma is an ailment of the eye in which optic nerve gets damaged. There is increased pressure inside the eye. This is called as intraocular pressure and it damages the optic nerve. If it is not diagnosed at an early age, it can cause permanent loss of vision. It is difficult to detect glaucoma at an early stage because a person suffering from it presents no signs and symptoms. People above 40 years of age should regularly visit an ophthalmologist for early diagnosis of the disease. People suffering from other health problems such as diabetes or having a family history of glaucoma are at high risk of developing this eye problem. It mainly occurs when pressure in the eye increases.

A clear fluid is present in the front part of the eye. It flows through a mesh like network and if this channel gets blocked, fluid gets accumulated that increases pressure. This condition can also be inherited.
