  Glaucoma Glaucoma is a group of eye disorders due to loss of cells which are present in the retina and affection of the optic nerve which is the nerve supplying the eye caused by raised pressure in the eye. Untreated Glaucoma can lead to permanent damage of the optic nerve and loss of visual field where a person cannot see beyond a particular angle. Glaucoma is the third most common cause of blindness worldwide. Symptoms: It is usually without symptoms, hence it is important to go for regular eye check-ups after the age of forty years. Symptoms can include patchy loss of peripheral vision, reduced clarity of colours, pain in or around the eyeball, nausea or vomiting and visual disturbances like halos around lights. Risk Factors: 1. Family history 2. Asians 3. Africans 4. Women 5. Steroids 6. Diabetic Retinopathy 7. Central Retinal Vein Occlusion 8. Eye Trauma 9. Uveitis Conventional Treatment: Reducing the pressure in the eye by medical or surgical means is the way of treating glaucoma. Usually eye drops are prescribed for reduction of eye drops. Homeopathic treatment: Homeopathy can lower the progression of disease and in highly susceptible people can prevent the occurrence or prolong the onset of disease.
