  1. an eye disease that damages the optic nerve and impairs vision (sometimes progressing to blindness)

    கண் அழுத்த நோய்

Description

Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that lead to damage of the optic nerve, which transmits visual information from the eye to the brain. Glaucoma may cause vision loss if left untreated. It has been called the "silent thief of sight" because the loss of vision usually occurs slowly over a long period of time. A major risk factor for glaucoma is increased pressure within the eye, known as intraocular pressure (IOP). It is associated with old age, a family history of glaucoma, and certain medical conditions or medications. The word glaucoma comes from the Ancient Greek word γλαυκός, meaning 'gleaming, blue-green, gray'.

கண் அழுத்த நோய் (ஆங்கிலம்:Glaucoma) எனப்படும் கண் அழுத்த நோயானது, பார்வை நரம்பு சேதமாவதால் பார்வை இழப்பு நிலைக்கு விரைந்து முன்னேறுவதும், பழைய நிலைக்குத் திரும்பக் கொண்டு செல்ல முடியாததுமான ஒரு கண் நோய் ஆகும். பல நேரங்களில். கண்ணில் உள்ள திரவ அழுத்தம் அதிகரிப்பதனாலேயே, இது விளைகிறது. ஆனால், வேறு பல காரணங்களினாலும், இந்நோய் கண்களில் உருவாகிறது..
