With this the fluids in the eyeball have increased. Thus these fluids escape and go into the cornea and the lens, when they go to the cornea the first thing we tart recognizing is halos around light, and we find it difficult to drive at night. So we slowly the peripheral vision gets list and as that happens the person will start noticing that he is not seeing the 180 degrees that he should. I am looking at the camera, I should see both my hands. When that is not happening, and the vision starts reducing, it becomes a tunnel vision. There is just this island of vision left. When we regard that patient as visually challenged. The percentage of glaucoma is approximately 2%, that means of the population, 2% of the population, will give glaucoma we have a small problem here, we don’t have good statistics in India and the statistics I am giving you is on the international front. Out of the 2% of who have glaucoma, there will be 10% will go visually challenged. Within 5 to 10 years of their first diagnosis of glaucoma. Out of that, 5% will be completely blind with no perception of light. These are our statistics and thus it is mandatory today for anybody above the age of 40 to get an eye checkup done, check your glass powers, check your retina, more importantly, please check the pressure of your eye and your field of vision. This is the only way we can find out about glaucoma because usually symptoms that I told you will be fleeting.
