Which portion of a body is affected in a disease called 'Cloucoma'?

Question

A very difficult question. You need a hard research!

Answer 1

it's actually Glaucoma.It is a group of diseases of the optic nerve involving loss of retinal ganglion cells in a characteristic pattern of optic neuropathy. Although raised intraocular pressure is a significant risk factor for developing glaucoma, there is no set threshold for intraocular pressure that causes glaucoma. One person may develop nerve damage at a relatively low pressure, while another person may have high eye pressures for years and yet never develop damage. Untreated glaucoma leads to permanent damage of the optic nerve and resultant visual field loss, which can progress to blindness.

Glaucoma has been nicknamed "the sneak thief of sight".[1] Worldwide, it is the second leading cause of blindness.[2] Glaucoma affects 1 in 200 people aged 50 and younger and 1 in 10 over the age of 80

Answer 3

It is Glaucoma. This affects the eyes. This happens due to lack of vitamin A. Patient of Glaucoma can see in the day time but develops blindness in the night.

Medical attention should be under an expert opthalmologist. If the patient is in Delhi, then he/she should contact Rajendra Prasad Eye Centre in All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS).

Answer 4

Glaucoma (if that's what you meant) is a disorder of the eye in which the intraocular pressure (the pressure inside the eyeball) is altered.

Answer 5

Do you mean "glaucoma"? That affects the eyes, I've never heard of Cloucoma...

Answer 6

I assume you mean "Glaucoma". If so, it affects your eyes and has to do with the pressure in the eye and can lead to blindness.

Answer 7

is it gloucoma or cloucoma, if it is gloucoma then its a eye disease which usually occurs in later age say after fourtees, and can be operated and cured

Answer 8

Glaucoma would be the eye.
