UNAIR NEWS<\/strong> – Glaucoma is an eye disease that damages the optic nerve, causing vision loss. One of the factors for glaucoma is increased pressure in the eye.<\/p>\n\n

To commemorate World Glaucoma Week 2024, Ophthalmologist dr. Yulia Primitasari Sp M(K) from the Faculty of Medicine 51动漫<\/a> shared the details on the Dokter Unair TV, on Tuesday, March 13, 2024.<\/p>\n\n

Glaucoma is considered one of the silent killer diseases as the person will not feel the symptoms immediately. The symptoms develop gradually, eventually leading to blindness.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cThe peripheral vision gradually diminishes from eyesight. This is sometimes overlooked in eye examinations. Glaucoma may not occur suddenly; it could already be present but unnoticed until it damages the nerve,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n

Regular eye exams<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n

Regular eye exams are crucial for preventing glaucoma, especially for individuals aged 50 and above. Early detection through eye exams can help mitigate the risk and severity of the condition.<\/p>\n\n

A person with a familial medical background should also undergo screening, as it can increase their risk factors compared to individuals without such inherited conditions.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cRegular exams are crucial in preventing glaucoma. Without early examination, it may lead to severe eye damage that could result in permanent blindness,\u201d dr. Yulia added.<\/p>\n\n

Treatment<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n

Although the disease cannot be fully cured, treatment can be administered to prevent severity. One of them is the administration of eye pressure medication to lower the pressure.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cIf medication is not effective, we usually proceed with advanced treatment such as laser therapy or surgery. However, we must consider the patient\u2019s risk factors and complications,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n\n

\"Prevent<\/figure>
\n

Patients with glaucoma must take the prescribed medication regularly. It is a matter of great concern if surgery needs to be performed due to irregular medication intake. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\u201cUndergo regular exams if you experience any discomfort in the eyes. Do not underestimate minor symptoms. Regular exams will reduce the risk factors for severe glaucoma. Let\u2019s contribute to Glaucoma-Free Indonesia,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n
