This tends to develop slowly over many years.It’s caused by the drainage channels in the eye becoming gradually clogged over time.Other types of glaucoma include:acute angle closure glaucoma – an uncommon type caused by the drainage in the eye becoming suddenly blocked, which can raise the pressure inside the eye very quicklysecondary glaucoma – caused by an underlying eye condition, such as inflammation of the eye (uveitis)childhood glaucoma (congenital glaucoma) – a rare type that occurs in very young children, caused by an abnormality of the eyeGlaucoma can occur for a number of reasons.Most cases are caused by a build-up of pressure in the eye when fluid is unable to drain properly.This increase in pressure then damages the nerve that connects the eye to the brain (optic nerve).It’s often unclear why this happens, although certain things can increase the risk, including:your age – glaucoma becomes more common as you get olderyour ethnicity – people of African, Caribbean or Asian origin are at a higher riskyour family history – you’re more likely to develop glaucoma if you have a parent or sibling with the conditionother medical conditions – such as short-sightedness, long-sightedness and diabetesIt’s not clear whether you can do anything to prevent glaucoma, but having regular eye tests should pick it up as early as possible.TESTS FOR GLAUCOMAGlaucoma can usually be detected during a routine eye test at an opticians, often before it causes any noticeable symptoms.The tests are carried out in the opticians by an optometrist.You should have a routine eye test at least every 2 years.Find out if you’re eligible for free NHS eye testsSeveral quick and painless tests can be carried out to check for glaucoma, including vision tests and measurements of the pressure inside your eye.If tests suggest you have glaucoma, you should be referred to a specialist eye doctor (ophthalmologist) to discuss treatment.Find out how glaucoma is diagnosedIt’s not possible to reverse any loss of vision that occurred before glaucoma was diagnosed, but treatment can help stop your vision getting worse.The treatment recommended for you will depend on the type of glaucoma you have, but the options are:eyedrops – to reduce the pressure in your eyeslaser treatment – to open up the blocked drainage tubes or reduce the production of fluid in your eyessurgery – to improve the drainage of fluidYou’ll also probably need regular appointments to monitor your condition and check the treatment is working.Dorzolamide Timolol Preservative Free Eye Drops ReviewsAfter using Dorzolamide Timolol Preservative Free Eye Drops, it’s helpful to let others know about your experience.
