Antiglaucomic
Antiglaucomic is a type of medical activity that involves the treatment of glaucoma. Glaucoma is an eye disease that causes damage to the optic nerve, resulting in vision loss. Antiglaucomic treatment involves reducing the pressure within the eye, which can be achieved by various medical methods. This can include medications, laser treatments, or surgery. Medications are typically used first, and can reduce the pressure by helping the eye to drain fluid more efficiently. Laser treatments and surgery can be used if medications are ineffective. During these procedures, a laser is used to open the drainage channels within the eye, or to make a new drainage channel, which help reduce the pressure. Surgery can also be used to remove part of the eye's drainage system. Antiglaucomic treatment helps to prevent further damage to the optic nerve, and can help preserve vision.
