Are You At Risk For Vision Loss? Glaucoma Risk Factors Explained | Shekar Eye Hospital

In this video, Dr. G. M. Shailesh, Senior Consultant at Shekar Eye Hospital, explains glaucoma, a serious disease that damages the optic nerve, the nerve connecting the eye to the brain. Glaucoma occurs when the pressure inside the eye rises and gradually harms the optic nerve, leading to irreversible blindness if not treated in time. Early detection is critical. Glaucoma must be identified, treated, and monitored through regular follow-ups. People at high risk include: • Individuals above 40 years • Those with myopia or hypermetropia • Long-term users of steroid drops or steroid medications • Those with a history of eye trauma • Individuals with a family history of glaucoma Some patients may experience blurred vision or coloured halos, which can indicate acute angle-closure glaucoma, a more urgent form of the condition. Always consult an eye specialist and get a comprehensive eye examination around the age of 40. If any signs of weakness are detected, your doctor will recommend further tests and evaluations. When diagnosed early, glaucoma can often be managed effectively with eye drops and ongoing treatment. Take care of your eyes, regular check-ups can save your vision.
