Which of the following condition is associated with increased intraocular pressure?

Which of the following condition is associated with increased intraocular pressure? Correct Answer Glaucoma

Concept:

  • Glaucoma is a degeneration of the optic nerve.
  • It has increased intraocular pressure (IOP).
  • The normal IOP is 12-22 mm Hg.
  • Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, the health of which is vital for good vision.
  • With all types of glaucoma, the nerve connecting the eye to the brain is damaged, usually due to high eye pressure.
  • The most common type of glaucoma (open-angle glaucoma) often has no symptoms other than slow vision loss. Angle-closure glaucoma, although rare, is a medical emergency and its symptoms include eye pain with nausea and sudden visual disturbance.
  • Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness for people over the age of 60.

Explanation:

Conjunctivitis It is characterized by redness in the eye or pink eye.
Cataracts It is characterized by cloudy or fuzzy vision.
Retinitis It is characterized by trouble seeing at night and decreased peripheral vision.
