Glaucoma As part of NAVH's Educational Series we are pleased to provide this excerpt from our article on ANATOMY OF THE EYE IN GLAUCOMA. THE EYE'S ANATOMY: HOW THE EYE WORKS WHAT IS GLAUCOMA? HELPFUL TIPS GLAUCOMA THE SNEAK THIEF OF SIGHT Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness in the United States. It is THE leading cause of blindness among African-Americans, and the leading cause of PREVENTABLE blindness in the U.S. Glaucoma may occur at any age but happens with increasing frequency during advancing years. Approximately 2% of the population over the age of 40 is affected. It's estimated that over 2 million Americans have glaucoma, and more than half of them are not aware they have the disease. THE EYE'S ANATOMY: HOW THE EYE WORKS Your eye is like a camera. Light enters the clear dome in the front of the eye (cornea), passes through the focusing part (lens), and comes to rest on the "film" or recording part (retina). The nerve attached to the eye carries these recorded pictures "back to the brain" and WE SEE. Eyes must stay inflated and round, just like a basketball. To stay inflated, the eye constantly makes fluid (aqueous humor) which circulates inside the front of the eye (anterior chamber), and leaves the eye by an intricate drain (trabecular meshwork). The balance between how much fluid is made and how much fluid leaves the eye determines how inflated the eye is (intraocular pressure). If all is working well, the fluid made inside the eye equals the amount of fluid leaving the eye, and the intraocular pressure is normal. If fluid cannot leave the eye properly, it builds up inside and the eye's pressure rises. This is the basic fact of glaucoma: high pressure inside the eye damages the eye's delicate optic nerve.

Printer-friendly version of this page Two to 3 million Americans 40 years and older have glaucoma Because glaucoma usually has no obvious symptoms, you may not know you have the disease until a serious loss of vision occurs. In fact, half the people suffering from glaucoma do not realize they have the disease. An eye examination is the only way to tell if you have glaucoma. That is why you should ask your doctor about glaucoma. Who is at risk for glaucoma? Because glaucoma is one of the most common causes of preventable blindness, everyone should be concerned about the disease. You may be at greater risk for glaucoma if you have: Older than 45 years A family history of glaucoma High intraocular pressure (IOP), or the pressure inside the eye African ancestry Diabetes Severe nearsightedness (myopia) Used steroids or cortisone for a long time Had a previous eye injury What can I do if I think I am at risk? Contact an eye doctor and schedule an appointment to have your eyes examined. The tests for glaucoma are simple and painless.

Las fibras de nervio óptico, se dañan cuando la presión intraocular se eleva por encima de un nivel que es variable de unos individuos a otros. Si la situación de presión elevada se mantiene durante mucho tiempo, o alcanza cifras exageradamente altas, estas fibras se pueden dañar de forma irreparable, es decir la pérdida de visión se hace irreversible. Cuando la totalidad de las fibras del nervio óptico se han dañado, se pierde por completo la capacidad de transmitir imágenes al cerebro, encontrándonos ante una ceguera total.

Conditions Home Macular Degeneration Diabetic Retinopathy Dry Eye Syndrome ... Services Search Selected by the sciLINKS program, a service of National Science Teachers Association. Treatment Glaucoma Overview Glaucoma is a disease caused by increased intraocular pressure (IOP) resulting either from a malformation or malfunction of the eye’s drainage structures . Left untreated, an elevated IOP causes irreversible damage the optic nerve and retinal fibers resulting in a progressive, permanent loss of vision. However, early detection and treatment can slow, or even halt the progression of the disease. What causes glaucoma? The eye constantly produces aqueous , the clear fluid that fills the anterior chamber (the space between the cornea and iris ). The aqueous filters out of the anterior chamber through a complex drainage system. The delicate balance between the production and drainage of aqueous determines the eye’s intraocular pressure (IOP). Most people’s IOPs fall between 8 and 21. However, some eyes can tolerate higher pressures than others. That’s why it may be normal for one person to have a higher pressure than another. Common types of glaucoma Open Angle Open angle (also called chronic open angle or primary open angle) is the most common type of glaucoma. With this type, even though the anterior structures of the eye appear normal, aqueous fluid builds within the anterior chamber, causing the IOP to become elevated. Left untreated, this may result in permanent damage of the

53. Nail-Patella Syndrome Nailpatella syndrome definition and treatment information, including surgery. A discussion about the strong evidence of a link between glaucoma and NPS. http://www.kellogg.umich.edu/conditions/glaucoma/nailpatella.html

Nail-Patella Syndrome Definition Symptoms Treatment Clinic Information Definition Nail-Patella syndrome (NPS) is a rare genetic disorder that causes abnormalities of bone, joints, fingernails and kidneys. NPS is commonly characterized by absent or under-developed kneecaps and thumbnails. It is estimated to occur in one in 50,000 newborns. Researchers at the U-M Kellogg Eye Center have found strong evidence of a link between glaucoma and NPS. A research study was initiated after Paul Lichter, M.D., noticed a glaucoma patient had no thumbnails and recalled the patient's mother, whom he had treated years earlier, also lacked thumbnails. Both patients had NPS in addition to glaucoma. Other family members were subsequently examined, and some who previously were unaware of NPS were diagnosed with the disorder. Lichter's research team examined 24 people with Nail-Patella syndrome in two families and found that more than half of them suffered from glaucoma. "As a result of these findings, we recommend people with Nail-Patella syndrome have regular ophthalmologic exams so glaucoma can be diagnosed and treated as early as possible," said Lichter, who is chairman of the University of Michigan Health System's Department of Ophthamology and director of the W.K. Kellogg Eye Center. The gene which mutates to cause NPS is located on a portion of chromosome 9 called 9q34. The U-M study provides indirect evidence that glaucoma-related genetic material is located at that same chromosomal site. It's not clear, however, whether glaucoma results from the NPS mutation or from a separate but closely linked gene.

GLAUCOMA, A CONCEPT STOLEN AND WARPED BY PROFESSIONAL SNEAK-THIEVES Will the real glaucoma stand up and state its cause? February 1997 Glossary : A short list of definitions of some terms used here are available here Introduction Nosologythe joints of Nature carved to the interest of the guild All science and technology arose, of course, by historical accident; but these disciplines have evolved, continuously refining their ontology, epistemology and terminology, as well as their methodology. Medicine, on the other hand, lives Here we examine one of the grosser examples of this gamethe caper of the rubber concept of glaucoma. The medical profession has latched onto the catchy ad slogan for glaucoma treatment, "The Sneak-Thief of Sight", in reference to a paucity of signs or symptoms likely existing before loss of sight should occur from this optic-nerve-head conditionin order to get as great a patient enrollment as possible. 'Glaucoma' is Latin for 'cataract', which word came from the Greek word for 'gray', in reference to the appearance of a cataract in an eye. Cataract, of course, is not something medicine chooses to include in what it calls 'glaucoma' today (although a sufferer's subjective observation , in an area of his/her field of vision reflecting glaucomatous damage, it is true, is one of grayness, as a result of neural averaging of light data from the healthy nerve-head area around such a scotoma). So Square One is not even on solid ground, but the issue here is that prevalent since von Graefe used the term in the 1850s: What sign or symptom or combination of one or more of same need manifest in a patient in order to label such condition 'glaucoma', and which possible cause(s) or causal train(s) of such variation of malady or abnormality is/are to be included within this condition (whether or not one terms it a 'disease'). It does seem reasonable to separately refer, under

GLAUCOMA What is glaucoma? Glaucoma is the elevation of pressure inside the eye ( intraocular pressure ) beyond a specific point at which vision is no longer possible. Glaucoma is a frequent cause of blindness in humans and in our pets. To understand glaucoma, it is necessary to understand how the fluid inside the eye normally flows and maintains normal intraocular pressure. Fluid inside the eye ( aqueous humor ) is produced behind the colored area of the eye ( iris ) in a portion of the eye called the ciliary body. This aqueous humor is made by filtering blood. The fluid flows through the dark hole in the eye ( pupil ). Finally the aqueous humor drains from the eye at the junction of the clear cornea and the colored iris ( drainage angle ) inside the eye and then the aqueous rejoins the blood. The drainage angle is a sieve-like network. This aqueous humor is made inside the eye and passes from the eye at the same rate. This results in a stable intraocular pressure of 15-25 mm of Hg. Glaucoma is the consequence of a blockage of the outflow of aqueous humor and a subsequent buildup of pressure inside the eye. The resulting high pressure compresses the optic nerve and results in pain and in blindness. Are there types of glaucoma?
