Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a common eye condition that can cause vision loss, and it has two main forms: open-angle, which tends to develop slowly, and angle-closure, which can appear suddenly.
Key points
- Regular eye tests by an optometrist reduce the chance of glaucoma going unnoticed.
- Sudden eye pain, redness, blurred vision, or halos around lights may signal acute angle-closure and need urgent care.
Medicines listed for Glaucoma
The listed product for glaucoma contains Acetazolamide, a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor that reduces fluid buildup in the eye. It is a 250mg tablet under the brand name Diamox.
