Because of its strange, stealthy approach in developing, afflicted persons are well in the advanced stage before seeking an eye examination. When this occurs, blihdnes.s; is the outlook, the educational committee of tMfe nttnofe state1 Medical society point* out health talk. ; Acute glailcoma differs from1 the chronic condition in that* it strikes suddenly. There is terrific pain and frequently the pa-1 tient becomes blind within a few hoArs. The chronic type, on the other hand, creeps up insidiously, remaining almost symptomless in its early stages. There are certain manifestations, however, which vary in ftitfividua!s: having to get a new pair of glasses every fle<to months; wiking up early in the morning with headaches; having difficulty in locating iseats in darkehed movie theaters, and seeing a red-green halo around street lights. As glaucoma develops, the patients lose side vision. The visual fields grow narrow, and a person has to turn his head a little more to the right or left to wattfi trafflc. Other indications may be occasional blurring and clouding of vision, one sided headache, discomfort in ana around the eyes; there may be a history of glaucoma in the family. What is glaucoma? Actually it is hardness of the eyeball due to abnormally high fiuid pressure inpide the eye. Normally the eye has its own internal circulation of a watery fluid which fills the front chamber of the eye. Any excess is drained off by a sieve-like circular structure which surrounds the iris. Anything that interferes with this normal drainage system causes a blocking -- and this results in increased pressure. A.s the pressure increases, theTe is pain, the eye gets hard and reddefied, and the pvpil gets gray aAd cloudy. - : Glaucoma is important *^o^ all of us because ft results in absolute blindness in almost all untreated cases. Care and vigilance, however, can save the sight In the majority of those afflicted, if the condition is detected early. In some persons, certain drugs can be employed to keep the pupil contracted and put of the way of the drainage system. Frequently surgery is necessary to open up a new drainage canal to carry on the work of the blocked one. The wearing or changing of glasses has absolutely no effect on the prevention or control of glaucoma. Treatment or operation does not cure the disease. They merely control the pressure. The support of everyone is needed in the control of glaucoma. Physicians, optometrists and social workers can all join in the effort. The optometrist does help immeasurably to preventing blindness by including certain examinations in his general routine for patients thirtyfive or over, keeping in mind the possibility of glaucoma. All patients whose vision cannot be improved to normal or who have symptoms Indicative of increased ocular pressure can then be referred to an opthalmologist for medical supervision Persons who have experienced the characteristic symptoms should not ignore them but, instead, have an examination of the eyes to rule out the existence of glaucoma. Tf the diagnosis is positive, constant medical attention is required to delay the complete loss of sight. LEGAL cSToAuTnEt yO Fo fX LMUNchOeInS ry ss. BOARD OF SUPERVISORS, MC HENRY.
