However, the damage on the optic nerve is not caused by one case of Glaucoma but rather a group of eye conditions known to cause blindness. The disease has been established to affect adults more than the younger generation. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">The condition had to detect because during onset, it doesn&#8217;t present with any symptoms but grows gradually, and one will only know about it when it is in its advanced stages. The high pressure on the eyes is due to the buildup of aqueous humor, a fluid that usually flows inside a person&#8217;s eye.<\/span><\/p>\n<style>.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }<\/style>\n<div class=\"embed-container\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/t8OvCBegrIk\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Glaucoma_Testing_Equipment_helps_patients_in_COVID-19_Pandemic\"><\/span>How Glaucoma Testing Equipment helps patients in COVID-19 Pandemic.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">While inside the eye, the fluid drained out via the trabecular meshwork at an angle where the iris and cornea meet, and here is where the problem develops. At times, the drainage system fails to work appropriately, thus retaining the fluid increasing pressure on the eyes. Other times the eye overproduces the fluid. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">The ability of your eye to either retain or drain the intraocular fluid is dependent on the type of Glaucoma that one has. So as eye pressure keeps building, it pushes against the optic nerves, which permanently damages the nerve fibers leading to blindness.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Glaucoma_is_also_caused_by_poor_blood_flow_Optic_Nerve_Damage\"><\/span><span class=\"s1\"><b>Glaucoma is also caused by poor blood flow, Optic Nerve Damage<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">Glaucoma has also been determined to develop when the eye&#8217;s internal pressure is normal, also known as &#8220;<i>Normal-Tension Glaucoma<\/i>.&#8221; individuals who experience this problem have optic nerves that are pressure sensitive and are, therefore, susceptible to irreversible damage. The above condition under different circumstances would be considered normal. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">Important to note is that people who have high intraocular pressure, also known as <i>ocular hypertension,<\/i> might never develop Glaucoma. Little evidence exists on the cause of normal-tension Glaucoma; the theory that exists, therefore, suggests that a reduction in the blood that flows to the optic nerve may be the primary cause.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">Therefore, the decrease is believed to be a result of the narrowing of the blood vessels necessary for nourishing the optic nerve or due to the constriction of blood vessels. Another major cause of Glaucoma, according to researchers, is the buildup of protein (beta-amyloid) in brain tissue and the eye&#8217;s Retina. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">The above has also been determined to cause Alzheimer&#8217;s. Still, it is clear that even though a person may accumulate beta-amyloid proteins, it does not directly mean that the other person will have Alzheimer&#8217;s or Glaucoma.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_prevent_Glaucoma\"><\/span><span class=\"s1\"><b><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-4461\" src=\"https:\/\/navaophthalmic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/prevent-Glaucoma-1018x1024.jpg\" alt=\"prevent Glaucoma\" width=\"900\" height=\"905\" srcset=\"https:\/\/navaophthalmic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/prevent-Glaucoma-1018x1024.jpg 1018w, https:\/\/navaophthalmic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/prevent-Glaucoma-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/navaophthalmic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/prevent-Glaucoma-570x573.jpg 570w, https:\/\/navaophthalmic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/prevent-Glaucoma-298x300.jpg 298w, https:\/\/navaophthalmic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/prevent-Glaucoma-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/navaophthalmic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/prevent-Glaucoma-768x772.jpg 768w, https:\/\/navaophthalmic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/prevent-Glaucoma-1527x1536.jpg 1527w, https:\/\/navaophthalmic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/prevent-Glaucoma-2037x2048.jpg 2037w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/b><\/span><span class=\"s1\"><b>How to prevent Glaucoma<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">Glaucoma is an eye condition that needs to be kept at bay at all costs because of its ability to cause vision loss. Glaucoma is not restricted to older adults. Therefore, anyone can contract it, especially those in the below category. <\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li class=\"li3\"><span class=\"s3\">Individuals who are 40 years old and above<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\"><span class=\"s3\">People suffering from high blood pressure<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\"><span class=\"s3\">Individuals with diabetes<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\"><span class=\"s3\">Those who have a history of the disease in their family <\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\"><span class=\"s3\">And people of the Hispanic or African American descent<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">With the above in mind, people can observe the below measures, which will help prevent Glaucoma. The first step is to understand the history of your family, and if anyone along your lineage developed the disease, and if the condition was present, then you should expose yourself to frequent screenings. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">Regular and moderate exercises have also been determined to reduce the chances of developing Glaucoma, as they help reduce eye pressure. Therefore, your doctor is better positioned to propose the best exercise routines that you can adopt. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">Protection as always is better than cure, and you, therefore, need to protect your eyes at all costs because if by any chance you suffer eye damage, then chances of developing Glaucoma are very high. Also, individuals who use high-power tools or play high-speed racket sports will be safe if they use eye protection. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">Doctors do prescribe Glaucoma eye drops that help limit the chances of developing Glaucoma, so if your doctor prescribed the eye drops, then be sure to use them as defined as they will help obliterate the chances of developing the condition if you don&#8217;t have any severe symptoms yet. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">Dilated eye examinations are also necessary as they help detect the disease while still in its early stages. Individuals under 40 could, therefore, have eye checkups every five years to ten years, and for those who are between 40 and 54 years old, then the testing period shortens to two or four years. And older adults between the ages of 55 and 64 can have their checkups between one to three years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">Individuals older than 65 will have to take their checkups at least one to two years. There are also <b>other do-it-yourself preventive measures that you can incorporate into your daily lifestyle, which will help lower your chances of developing Glaucoma. <\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">You should, therefore, exercise daily. You could swim, walk, or do manual jobs in the yard.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>And when there is too much sun outside, protect your eyes by wearing a hat or sunglasses anytime outdoors. Evidence suggests that high amounts of caffeine intake could increase eye pressure, quit or don&#8217;t smoke, and maintain a healthy weight; your blood pressure should also be held at a reasonable level. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Foods_that_can_help_enhance_eye_health\"><\/span><span class=\"s1\"><b>Foods that can help enhance eye health.<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">When it comes to foods that can help boost your eye health, then you have a broad spectrum, from foods rich with vitamin D, such as egg yolks, cereals, and fortified milk, to those containing vitamin A, such as sweet potatoes, mangoes, carrots, and liver. Fruits and vegetables are also a good source of food but ensure to get the ones that are dark green and yellow. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">Foods rich in Zinc such as poultry, red meat, and nuts are also nutritious for your eye, and foods packed with omega-three fatty acids such as flax seeds, wild salmon, and chia seeds, among others, are also helpful. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">As we have determined above, Glaucoma does not come with any bells or whistles, and you will have to implement the various preventive measures suggested above. However, if you all of a sudden experience severe headache, blurred vision, or pain in the eyes, then you will have to visit an eye doctor, &#8220;an Ophthalmologist with Glaucoma Testing Equipment, immediately.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\"><b><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-4460\" src=\"https:\/\/navaophthalmic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/leading-causes-of-Glaucoma-1024x711.jpg\" alt=\"leading causes of Glaucoma\" width=\"900\" height=\"625\" srcset=\"https:\/\/navaophthalmic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/leading-causes-of-Glaucoma-1024x711.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/navaophthalmic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/leading-causes-of-Glaucoma-570x396.jpg 570w, https:\/\/navaophthalmic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/leading-causes-of-Glaucoma-300x208.jpg 300w, https:\/\/navaophthalmic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/leading-causes-of-Glaucoma-768x533.jpg 768w, https:\/\/navaophthalmic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/leading-causes-of-Glaucoma-1536x1066.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/navaophthalmic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/leading-causes-of-Glaucoma-2048x1422.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<h3 class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Guidelines_for_ophthalmologists_and_staff_when_checking_Glaucoma_patients_in_COVID-19_Pandemic\"><\/span><span class=\"s1\"><b>Guidelines for ophthalmologists and staff when checking Glaucoma patients in COVID-19 Pandemic<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ol class=\"ol1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li class=\"li4\"><span class=\"s3\">Non-contact dispensers will be provided at the hospital&#8217;s entrance, where all patients and the accompanying persons will be asked to wash or disinfect their hands.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li4\"><span class=\"s3\">Each patient will then be asked if they have a cold, fever, cough, flu symptoms, or conjunctivitis. If they present any of the above symptoms, they will be invited to the hospital&#8217;s outpatient service and not the emergency room. <\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li4\"><span class=\"s3\">Patients are then advised to have their masks on the entire time they are in the office and during the examinations. The masks are to cover the mouth and the nose adequately. The idea behind putting on a mask is to prevent droplets emitted from speaking, breathing, and sneezing from reaching the other person. The move above is to reduce the risk of transmitting the virus. <\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li4\"><span class=\"s3\">Patients should observe a distance of one meter or more and restrain themselves from touching the various parts of their faces: the nose, mouth, and eyes, including multiple surfaces within the office. <\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li4\"><span class=\"s3\">No physical contact is allowed between the patients and the staff. Kisses and hugs should also be avoided. <\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li4\"><span class=\"s3\">Dispensers of detergent-sterilizing substances to be used for cleaning the hands should be placed inside the medical practitioner&#8217;s offices, and patients encouraged to use them as frequently as possible. <\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li4\"><span class=\"s3\">Information derived from the non-contact temperature measurements cannot be entirely relied on and can only screen patients in the office.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<style>.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }<\/style>\n<div class=\"embed-container\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XtZQxHL0qy4\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h4 class=\"p7\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Preventive_measures_for_staff_who_get_into_contact_with_the_patients\"><\/span><span class=\"s1\"><b>Preventive measures for staff who get into contact with the patients.<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<ul class=\"ul1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li class=\"li4\"><span class=\"s3\">The team is always advised to have their masks on and try as much as they can not to touch the masks. During removal, they should begin by first removing the rubber bands at the back of their ears.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li4\"><span class=\"s3\">Staff members are advised to wear protective glasses for their safety during the clinical examinations and while at the office. <\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li4\"><span class=\"s3\">Examinations should be carried out with minimal contact between doctor and patient. Still, if communication is necessary, the healthcare professional is advised to wear protective gloves that are to be replaced after each patient. And a disinfection procedure of the hands should follow after removal of the masks. <\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li4\"><span class=\"s3\">All surfaces and instruments that come into contact with the patient should be disinfected, and a procedure is done in-between visits to protect patients that will come after. <\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li4\"><span class=\"s3\">Clean the surfaces, switches and handles, and any object that might have come into contact with the hands and faces of the patients and staff. The keyboard, mouse, and telephone should all be cleaned with detergent and sterilizing solution from time to time. Disposable gloves will be used at this point, and the hands will be disinfected immediately afterward. <\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li4\"><span class=\"s3\">The chin guards should always be cleaned, the borders of instruments and test glasses that patients came into contact with, and all parts of the instruments touched by the patients. The above procedure is to be done at the beginning of the examination and in the patient&#8217;s presence.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li4\"><span class=\"s3\">All the instruments that come into contact with the patient&#8217;s eyes should be cleaned and sterilized. Medical practitioners should use contact tonometers if possible and avoid the use of contact lenses, such as the 3-mirror or the gonioscopy. <\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li4\"><span class=\"s3\">Volk-type lenses or single-use contact lenses should, therefore, be used if possible. Touching of patients&#8217; eyelids, nose, and mouth is not encouraged, and if it is a must, then gloves should be used. The conjunctiva offers safe passage for the COVID 19 virus to enter the body, so a person&#8217;s own eyes and face should not be touched. <\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li4\"><span class=\"s3\">Multi-dose eye drops should not be used as they can be a source of contamination when they touch the eyelids and the conjunctiva of patients and via the non-sterilized hands of the healthcare professionals. <\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li4\"><span class=\"s3\">Therefore, if possible, healthcare professionals should use single-dose products, and that is if they need to use multiple doses. Medical professionals should also avoid contact with the regulator or their hands with parts of their patient&#8217;s face.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li4\"><span class=\"s3\">Medical practitioners should avoid handling the patient&#8217;s contact lenses or even applying them, and they should also prevent non-contact tonometry (air-puff tonometry). Using the latter on patients found to be having COVID -19 might produce a high amount of virus-loaded aerosol in the local area, thus encouraging the spread of the virus.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"p7\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><span class=\"s1\"><b>Conclusion<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p7\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">Glaucoma is a severe eye infection that may render one permanently blind; therefore, ophthalmologists must treat individuals suffering from the disease.
