Gloucoma is one of the most diagnosed eye disorders out there, yet many people don't know much about it. It is a disease that, while not curable, can be treated. As with most diseases, the sooner you are diagnosed, the better your prognosis is likely to be. In order to keep yourself safe, it's important to understand the symptoms of this disease. Reduction in Peripheral VisionTypically, one of the first gloucoma symptoms is a loss of peripheral vision. Peripheral vision is the vision on the side of your eyes. For example, think of your vision as you're driving down the road. When you go to change lanes, it's likely that you look over your shoulder to check your blind spot. If you've lost peripheral vision, the amount of space you could see on your side without turning would be diminished. You can see how this can cause safety issues. Increase in Tunnel VisionTunnel vision refers to the sensation of only being able to see what is directly in front of you, and is one of the signs of gloucoma as well. Typically, tunnel vision is the result of a gradual loss of peripheral. When a person begins to lose their peripheral vision, it often takes them quite some time to realize it, as it is such a gradual experience. However, if you've gotten to the point of tunnel vision, it is definitely time to see your eye doctor and get checked for glaucoma. Blurry VisionMany people with gloucoma report experiencing a blurring in their vision. This usually feels similar to the way your eyes often feel when you wake up. Often people think they just need to rub their eyes, blink several times or even use an eye drop to moisturize their eyes. However, if this blurred vision is a result of glaucoma, none of these methods will help. Blurred vision can also be a sign of other illnesses and it's important to have it checked out. Pain in and Around the EyesPeople with gloucoma often report having no side effects that cause pain. However, some do have pain and pressure behind and around the eyes. This often feels similar to a sinus headache or the way you feel when you're exhausted. Any time there is pain in or around the eyes, you should see a doctor as soon as possible. While it can be a sign of glaucoma, it can be a sign of a number of other illnesses as well. Reduction in Vision During Late HoursIt's normal for a person to see better during the day than during the night. However, if you've suddenly started seeing rings around lights when it's dim, like halos, this can be a sign of gloucoma. Other visual disturbances during low light can also appear, like floaters and a general loss of night vision. Keep in mind that even if you don't have glaucoma, getting your eye troubles looked at is worth your time and money. There is no greater reward than the peace of mind of knowing you're being taken care of. |

Of all the uncomfortable things in the world, eye infections most certainly rank in the top ten of such afflictions. You actively use your eyes pretty much all the time except, of course while you are asleep. If something is causing discomfort in the eye area it can be difficult not to go slightly crazy with the itchiness, scratchiness and soreness. Eye infections need to be treated relatively quickly before they have the chance to turn into something a little more sinister.
THE PROFESSIONALS
If you are beginning to feel the symptoms associated with eye infections it would probably be a good idea to consult an eye specialist. Instead of poring over your telephone directory, The Eye Pharmacy will be able to provide you with links to an experienced eye specialist or eye surgeon (depending on the seriousness of the infection or disease). All you need to do is fill in the simple form by providing a last name and zip code. You cannot afford something as extreme as vision loss, simply because you didn’t acknowledge the symptoms related to eye diseases, even if you think it is only a small allergic reaction it would still be a good idea to consult a professional.
