Glaucoma surgery with goniotomy!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In Germany, about one million people suffer from glaucoma<\/a>. Another five million are at risk of contracting it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The clinical picture describes a group of eye diseases<\/strong> that, in the advanced stage, damage the optic nerve and ultimately the nerve cells of the retina. About 10% of glaucoma patients are at risk of blindness if left untreated<\/strong>. In such a case, glaucoma surgery<\/strong> should definitely be considered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Glaucoma: What are the symptoms?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The symptoms of cataracts<\/a> are the result of too much pressure in the eye<\/strong>. Everyone has a clear fluid in the part of their eye that is not visible from the outside, the so-called aqueous humor<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The eye produces this fluid, which after some time flows out of the eye in uniform quantities via the so-called Schlemm’s canal<\/strong>. The aqueous humor nourishes and stabilizes the eye and is indispensable for our vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similar to the air in a ball, aqueous humor creates a certain amount of intraocular pressure. The most common cause of increased pressure <\/strong>is the damaged or inadequate drainage of aqueous humor from the eye.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the intraocular pressure is permanently too high, this damages the optic nerve and leads to failures in the visual field. Slow blindness can be the result<\/strong>. The opposite, however, is a glaucoma attack that must be treated immediately. Goniotomy can be used to prevent blindness and maintain the ability to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can you minimize the risk of glaucoma?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What is treacherous is that the disease develops without symptoms and gradually<\/strong>. The visual field also deteriorates gradually and often unnoticed. Regular preventive care with an ophthalmologist<\/strong> alone can clarify whether there is a risk and which therapy for cataracts makes sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Risk factors<\/strong> for a disease are often a higher age, a genetic burden due to pre-existing conditions in the family, higher myopia, uneven corneal thickness and underlying diseases such as high blood pressure. Snoring or migraines can also indicate glaucoma<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For proper glaucoma diagnostics, we rely in our practice on high-quality ZEISS devices<\/strong> that support us with state-of-the-art diagnostics, including the Cirrus\u2122 HD-OCT with extended glaucoma applications, the Humphrey\u00aeperimeter and fundus photography using the Zeiss Clarus 500\u00ae.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
