El glaucoma es una de las principales causas de ceguera, con casi 65 millones de afectados en todo el mundo, especialmente entre los mayores de 60 a\u00f1os. La mayor\u00eda de las personas no presentan s\u00edntomas ni signos de alerta precoz cuando se desarrolla el glaucoma, y por eso la mitad de la gente no sabe que lo padece. Sin embargo, la vista se perder\u00e1 gradualmente (de la visi\u00f3n perif\u00e9rica\/lateral a la visi\u00f3n frontal\/central) si pasa desapercibido y no se trata a tiempo. Aunque no existe cura (todav\u00eda) para el glaucoma, es necesario conocerlo y aceptar su detecci\u00f3n y tratamiento precoces, lo que puede ayudar a conservar la visi\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00bfQu\u00e9 es el glaucoma?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

El glaucoma es un grupo de enfermedades oculares y se produce cuando el exceso de l\u00edquido aumenta la presi\u00f3n en el ojo y provoca da\u00f1os en las fibras del nervio \u00f3ptico. Existen varios tipos de glaucoma:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Glaucoma primario de \u00e1ngulo abierto (la forma m\u00e1s com\u00fan de glaucoma)<\/li>
  • Glaucoma de tensi\u00f3n normal<\/li>
  • Glaucoma de \u00e1ngulo cerrado<\/li>
  • Glaucoma secundario<\/li>
  • Glaucoma pigmentario<\/li>
  • Glaucoma pseudoexfoliativo<\/li>
  • Glaucoma traum\u00e1tico<\/li>
  • Glaucoma neovascular<\/li>
  • S\u00edndrome endotelial corneal iridiscente (ICE)<\/li>
  • Glaucoma cong\u00e9nito (glaucoma infantil)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    S\u00edntomas del glaucoma<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    En realidad, la mayor\u00eda de los tipos de glaucoma no presentan signos o s\u00edntomas de alerta temprana, excepto el glaucoma de \u00e1ngulo cerrado, que puede dar lugar a algunos cambios repentinos en su cuerpo incluyen:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    • Visi\u00f3n borrosa repentina<\/li>
    • Dolor intenso en los ojos y la cabeza<\/li>
    • Aparici\u00f3n de anillos o halos con los colores del arco iris alrededor de las luces<\/li>
    • N\u00e1useas y v\u00f3mitos<\/li>
    • Aumento de la relaci\u00f3n copa-disco<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Causas del glaucoma<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Todo el mundo corre el riesgo de padecer glaucoma. Puede ser hereditario o estar causado por otras afecciones o enfermedades oculares, como lesiones oculares, inflamaci\u00f3n, formaci\u00f3n anormal de vasos sangu\u00edneos por diabetes u obstrucci\u00f3n de vasos sangu\u00edneos retinianos, uso de medicamentos que contienen esteroides y dispersi\u00f3n pigmentaria. Ponerse en contacto con su oftalm\u00f3logo para asegurarse del diagn\u00f3stico exacto y obtener las posibles opciones de tratamiento ser\u00eda una buena forma de proteger sus ojos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Algunas personas con glaucoma tienen baja visi\u00f3n, lo que significa que pueden tener problemas para hacer cosas cotidianas y rutinarias aunque utilicen gafas o lentes de contacto. Existen diversos productos para la baja visi\u00f3n que ayudan a las personas a ser m\u00e1s independientes, como las lupas CCTV y los programas inform\u00e1ticos de ampliaci\u00f3n de texto.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
