İngilizce - İngilizce
An eye disease or disorder that is defined as a characteristic optic neuropathy, or disease of the optic nerve, possibly, if untreated, leading to damage of the optic disc of the eye and resultant visual field loss due to lack of communication between the retina and the brain, which can lead to blindness
A disease characterized by increased pressure within the eyeball, leading to gradual vision impairment and sometimes, blindness if not diagnosed and treated
An eye disease associated with increased pressure within the eye Glaucoma can damage the optic nerve and cause impaired vision and blindness
a disease of the eye marked by increased pressure within the eyeball If left untreated, glaucoma can damage the optic nerve and cause loss of vision
Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness, if left untreated Common open-angle glaucoma is the most common type Lack of proper drainage within the eye causes pressure to build that damages the optic nerve and leads to vision loss Proper monitoring and eye medications can control pressures so as to prevent blindness
An eye disease in which increased pressure in the eye can lead to blindness
Glaucoma is a potentially serious eye condition where the interior pressure of the eyeball contents increases to an abnormal level It can permanently damage or even destroy the eyesight by damaging the retina A thorough adult eye exam always includes a test for glaucoma Good self-care and regular eye checkups are a must for protecting and prolonging your sight
An eye disease in which the passages that allow fluid in the eye to drain become clogged or blocked, or there is too much fluid produced inside of the eye Increased pressure inside the eye then damages the optic nerve and causes vision loss
A disease characterized by increased pressure within the eyeball more If not diagnosed and treated, glaucoma may lead to optic nerve damage, loss of visual field, gradual vision impairment, and sometimes blindness
A condition that affects function of the optic nerve and is associated with raised intraocular pressure Several factors contribute to glaucoma
an increase in fluid pressure inside the eye that may lead to loss of vision
A disease of the eye caused by increased intraocular pressure Back to the top H
disease of the eye associated with the increased pressure within the eyeball
a condition in which the pressure inside the eye increases beyond the norm, damaging the optic nerve and causing loss of peripheral vision
{i} (Ophthalmology) disease of the eye characterized by increased fluid pressure within the eye (causes impairment or loss of vision)
= the second leading cause of blindness in the United States; a disease where pressure within the eye is so high that it can damage the optic nerve and lead to vision loss; it affects side vision long before central vision is affected
A group of eye conditions causing progressive vision loss These often symptom-free conditions result in damage to the optic nerve at the back of the eye The three main eye tests for glaucoma are eye pressure, optic disc appearance and visual fields
a progressive optic neuropathy (a disease of the optic nerve) characterized by a specific pattern of retinal ganglion cell, axon, and optic nerve damage, resulting in a reduction in the visual field (beginning in the periphery and gradually moving inward) and even blindness; most significant risk factor is elevated intraocular pressure (IOP), which results from less fluid leaving the eye than is entering the eye; other possible risk factors, most of which have been as yet little explored, may include low blood pressure, abnormally low intracranial pressure, autoimmune phenomena, sleep apnea, sleeping with the pillow or one's knuckles pressed against the eye, an abnormally hard or soft lamina cribrosa (the stack of platelike "perforated wafers" through which the optic nerve fibers pass through the eye), inherited or acquired abnormalities of the connective tissue of the lamina cribrosa, primary ganglion cell degeneration, and other as yet unconsidered possibilities
increased pressure in the eyeball due to obstruction of the outflow of aqueous humor; damages the optic disc and impairs vision (sometimes progressing to blindness)
is a condition where there is increased pressure within the eyes If it is left untreated, glaucoma will lead to blindness An eye doctor can perform a simple test to check for the presence of glaucoma
increased intraocular pressure that can result in optic nerve damage and loss of sight
A disease characterised by defects in the visual field, damage to the nerve at the back of the eye, and usually raised pressure inside the eye
Glaucoma is an eye disease which can cause people to go gradually blind. an eye disease in which increased pressure inside your eye gradually makes you lose your sight (from glaukos ). Disease marked by increased pressure in the eye. A result of blockage of the flow of fluid (aqueous humour) at the outer edge of the iris, this pressure is transmitted to the optic nerve head and the retina. Chronic glaucoma can be treated with drugs that contract the pupil. Acute glaucoma may be intermittent. Permanent relief requires surgery to provide an outlet for the fluid. Either type causes vision impairment or blindness if untreated
A disease marked by abnormally high pressure within the eye If left untreated, it can cause total blindness when the pressure eventually damages the optic nerve
Dimness or abolition of sight, with a diminution of transparency, a bluish or greenish tinge of the refracting media of the eye, and a hard inelastic condition of the eyeball, with marked increase of tension within the eyeball
— Occurs when there is too much fluid pressure in the eye, causing eye damage and potential blindness Although glaucoma is the leading cause of blindness in the United States, it can be prevented if the disease is detected and treated in time (JP) - Usually characterized by increased intraocular pressure, resulting in damage to the optic nerve, retinal nerve fibers (NERF) - A condition in which the pressure in the eye increases The normal is- mm of mercury as measured by standardized instruments The pressure can increase gradually and can affect the eyes normal function
a group of eye diseases characterized by an increase in intraocular pressure which causes pathological changes in the optic disk and typical defects in the field of vision
increased intra ocular pressure that can result in optic nerve damage and loss of sight
Generally glaucoma is caused by abnormally high pressure inside your eye Pressure is measured by an instrument called a tonometer which the doctor places n the surface of your eye In most cases of glaucoma, the pressure increase does not cause pain or discomfort, but if untreated it can result in slow, progressive loss of vision Therefore, you may not be aware that you have glaucoma Evaluation of damage caused to vision by glaucoma can be made only be examining the inside of your eyes and by charting the visual fields of your eyes (Palin 6)
a group of diseases characterized by an increas in intraocular pressure which causes pathological changes in the eye ( wav, 31K) ( aiff, 16K)
