regularly once in 1-2 yrs. It is said that 90% of Retinopathy
Complications can be prevented just by regular screening & in time
treatments.
Also Dilated Eye checkup can help early disgnoses of Sight threatening
diseases like Glaucoma "The Silent Blinder" which usually causes no

Galucoma Causes irreversible blindness
Glaucoma, one of the leading causes of blindness, is estimated to
affect 1 of every 50 adults. Although glaucoma can occur at any
stage. The risk of developing the disease increases dramatically
after the age of 35. Glaucoma is also more likely to develop persons
who are severely nearsighted, persons with a family history of the
condition, diabetics and blacks. Because the symptoms of early
glaucoma are so slight, the disease often goes unnoticed until
permanent vision loss has occured. However, with early diagnosis and
careful treatment visual damage from glaucoma can be prevented.
What is Glaucoma?
Glaucoma is a disease which damages the optic nerve. When light
enters the eye, an image is focused onto the retina, the delicate
nerve layer, lining the inside black wall of the eye. The retina then
transforms the light images into electrical impulses which are carried
to the brain by the optic nerve. Damage to the optic nerve and retina
causes blind spots in the field of vision. If the entire nerve is
destroyed, blindness will occur.
What causes Glaucoma?
Glaucoma is usually caused by an increase in the fluid pressure in the eye. The front partor the eye contains a clear nourishing fluid called the aqueuous which constantly circulates through the eye. Normally, this fluid leaves the eye through a drainage system and returns to the blood. Glaucoma occurs from an overproduction of fluid or when the drainage system becomes blocked, causing fluid pressure to increase. The high pressure damage to the optic nerve, resulting in permanent vision loss. The exact reason the fluid system in the eye stops functioning properly is not completely understood.
What are the symptoms of Glaucoma?
The early symptoms associated with Chronic open angle glaucoma, the
most common type are usually unnoticable. At first, in most cases,
the build up of pressure is gradual without any discomfort or pain.
Most people do not detect a change in their vision until substantial
loss of sight has occurred. Certain parts of peripheral (side) vision
is affected first with the top, sides and bottom of the field of
vision becoming decreased. Later in the course of the disease central
vision becomes affected, mild headaches and difficulty with night
vision might be expericenced. And if left untreated, TOTAL BLINDNESS
will result. The patients sticken with ACUTE CLOSED ANGLE GLAUCOMA
experiences more noticeable symptoms. The sudden onset of acute glaucoma can cause blurred vision, severe pain, nausea, and halos around lights. CONGENTIAL GLAUCOMA also presents noticeable symptoms
in the infant such as enlarged eyes, cloudy cornea, light sensitivity and excessive tearing.
