Glaucoma (elevated eye pressure)

Disorder in which the pressure within the eye is increased. It most commonly results from abnormal circulation or blocked drainage of the fluid (aqueous humor) within the eye. The cause for this is often unknown though it can run in families or follow an infection or injury, especially if there is bleeding in the eye. Normally, the fluid produced is absorbed at the same rate. When this balance is upset, pressure may build up in the eye. If the abnormally high pressure is not reduced damage to the nerve of the eye (optic nerve) can occur resulting in the loss of sight. Pre-Glaucoma is suspected with increased intraocular pressure, with no perceived damage to the disc (the nerve-containing structure at the back of the eye) or visual fields.
