Glaucoma is an eye condition caused by fluid deposits behind the eye. This may damage the optic nerve, which can lead to visual field loss and blindness. Open-angle glaucoma is the most prevalent type of glaucoma. A blockage causes it in a special membrane (trabecular meshwork), preventing the aqueous humor from draining out properly.

It is the second biggest cause of blindness after cataracts worldwide. It is also the leading cause of vision loss in people over 60.

Unfortunately, glaucoma has no cure. But effective treatment can prevent it from further damaging your eyes.

It's understandable to be concerned after your brother's eye procedures. The hazy vision he's experiencing can sometimes occur after lens surgery, especially with recent interventions. Since it’s normal to have some discomfort post-operation, it’s important to monitor his symptoms. If there are no signs of infection, the eye should heal well. The follow-up appointment will determine if the new lens will help restore his vision. Encourage him to maintain open communication with his eye specialist for the best guidance and reassurance.

Naye lenses lagaane ke baad kuch logon ko thodi der ke liye aankhon mein discomfort ya blurred vision mehsoos ho sakti hai. Ye aam baat hai aur zyada tar logon ko chand ghanton ya dinon mein theek ho jaata hai. Lens ka sahi fit karna, ya to consultation se ya doctor ke review ke through, bohot zaroori hai. Agar dikhne mein koi masla ya samasya bani rahe, to specialist se milna behtar rahega.

Aapke bhai ki aankh mein jo takleef hai woh samajh sakta hoon. Jis tareeqe se operation hua hai, kuch waqt lag sakta hai aankhon ke theek hone mein. Dhoondh la nazar aana aksar thoda time leta hai, lekin naye lenses dalne se dekhnay ki salahiyat behtar ho sakti hai. Yeh zaroori hai ke aap doctor se follow-up karne jayein, taake wo puri tarah se jaanch lein aur koi aur advice de sakain. Aapke bhai ko behtar mehsoos karne mein yeh madadgar hoga.

My maid is having cataract her doctor told her that it is on the verge of rupture..she is unable to pay for the operation. Is it possible to get her operated without much charges?

Female | 40

The reason behind may have been the presence of clouded vision, night time blackout, and light sensitivity. In a person's life, cataracts appear when the eye gets a cloudy lens due to age or specific health issues. To have the problem rectified, the maid should be fully followed up with a health care provider, it would serve as an interference to have avoidable ruptures or another form of complication. Significant discounts or financial aid programs are also available for those in need of medical services in many clinics or hospitals. It is a good idea for her to reach out to the local health facilities and the help of charity groups.
