Abstract
Glaucoma is a slowly progressive neuropathy with changes in the optic nerve, the retinal neurofibrillar layer, and the field of vision.
The aim of the paper is to present the significance of detecting elevated intra ocular pressure in early glaucoma detection.
Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness in the world. According to the latest WHO estimates, as a challenge to global level resolution - carcinomas are in the first place, cardiovascular diseases in second, and blindness in third place. The glaucoma accounts for about 9-12% of all blind people in the world, that is, this disease is diagnosed in about 2.5 million people each year. WHO predicts that the percentage will increase to 30% by 2020. The definition of the 2014 European Glaucoma Association (EEC 2014) reads: "Glaucoma is a chronic progressive optic neuropathy with characteristic morphological changes on the optic nerve disc and the retinal neurofibrillar layer as well as the progressive death of ganglia cells with visual field loss in the absence other eye diseases and congenital anomalies. " Hence, in addition to the standard methods available to us, such as measuring the height of the intraocular pressure (IOP), gonioscopy, eyelid examination, as well as determining and monitoring visual acuity, the necessity of the standard computerized perimetry and optic coherent tomography of back eye segment.
