Eye Spy a Diagnosis: Glaucoma 👁️🔍
Glaucoma is caused by high pressure inside the eye due to improper fluid drainage, which can be painful and damaging. It can be primary (genetic) or secondary (from other conditions).
Signs to watch for: Cloudiness, redness, squinting, and vision loss. If one eye is affected, the other might be too.
Treatment: Medications to manage pressure, and in severe cases, surgery like Endocyclophotocoagulation (ECPC) or Enucleation. Regular check-ups are crucial for early detection and effective management.
