Glaucoma is characterized by rising fluid pressure in the eye that damages the optic nerve.

Not exact matches

«Ultimately, we would like to understand the molecular mechanisms involved in controlling fluid flow into Schlemm's canal and consequently eye pressure,» says Kizhatil.

In this project we intend to show that we can insert healthy copies of a damaged gene into the fluid drainage channels inside the eye and normalize eye pressure.

A trebeculotomy is a surgical procedure that helps reduce pressure in the eye by opening the eye's drainage system, which allows eye fluid (aqueous humor) to drain out of the eye.

Glaucoma occurs when fluid pressure increases in the eye, damaging the optic nerve.

Optic nerve damage results from an increase in intraocular pressure (IOP) resulting from poor drainage of aqueous humor, the clear fluid that fills the front of the eye.

The research included visual field analysis, disc photographs and measurement of peak IOP (intraocular pressure), the highest level of pressure in the fluid inside the eye.

In more chronic cases of glaucoma, the fluid pressure may be controlled with topical eye medications or oral medications.

With glaucoma, fluid pressure builds up and damage to the eye can result in blindness.

With primary glaucoma, the drainage angle in the eye is too small, causing ocular fluid to «back up» inside the eye and raise the ocular pressure.

There are several causes, but essentially what happens is the fluid in the front chamber of the eye — between the lens and cornea — is unable to drain properly, and pressure builds up.

Glaucoma is a common condition in which the fluid pressure inside your pet's eye increases, resulting in damage to the optic nerve, followed by loss of vision and blindness.

Glaucoma is a disease where fluid in the eye increases in pressure beyond normal levels, indicating that fluid is not draining properly.

It is a condition where fluid builds up in the eye causing an increase in pressure.

Dr. Rachel Keller immediately diagnosed Piper with pigmentary uveitis in both eyes, a condition common to golden retrievers, in which an inflammation develops and may block the normal drainage of fluids from the eye, resulting in higher than normal pressure within the eye, or glaucoma.

Glaucoma stems from too much pressure being exerted upon the eye's interior as a result of a decrease in the amount of fluid draining from it.

The pain from glaucoma (a group of disease that culminate in high fluid pressure within the eye) is described as a constant migraine headache with intermittent, random moments of sharp pain in the eye.
