Ocupres 0.5% Eye Drops 5ml

Glaucoma is a serious eye condition that damages the optic nerve, which is crucial for vision. The damage is often due to abnormally increased pressure in the eye, known as intraocular pressure. If not treated promptly, glaucoma can lead to blindness.

Symptoms of Glaucoma

• Early Stages: Typically, there are no symptoms in the early stages except for a slow, gradual loss of vision.
• Progressed Stages: Symptoms may include:
  • Visible rainbow-colored circles around bright lights
  • Blurred vision
  • Sudden development of intense pain in the eye
  • Visual disturbances
  • Nausea

Ocular Hypertension refers to higher than normal pressure inside the eye without any damage to the optic nerve or loss of vision. This condition arises due to the poor drainage of aqueous humor (the fluid that maintains normal pressure in the eye through continuous flow). The excess fluid build-up results in increased pressure inside the eye.

Risks of Untreated Ocular Hypertension

• If ocular hypertension is not managed properly, it can progress to glaucoma, leading to potential damage to the optic nerve and loss of vision.

Both ocular hypertension and glaucoma require timely intervention to prevent serious vision impairment or blindness. Regular eye check-ups and prompt treatment are crucial in managing these conditions effectively.
