characteristic the destruction of the optic nerve. The optic nerve can be visualized functioning as a cable containing maybe more than 1 million nerve fibers conveying the image that we see to the brain. When the optic nerve is damaged in some way, then the vision is impaired and deteriorates slowly.<\/p><p>The majority of patients with glaucoma do not experience any symptoms until they have lost a significant part of their vision. Therefore patients should be examined regularly, once or twice a year, especially if their age is over forty years old. The eye specialist can detect glaucoma alterations before considerable damage occurs, by examining the fundus or with the help of special tests such as perimetry.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-5109645 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5109645\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8c4e915\" data-id=\"8c4e915\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-810390c elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"810390c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3a3bdf1 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3a3bdf1\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-47f3b28\" data-id=\"47f3b28\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4d12781 elementor-widget elementor-widget-elementskit-heading\" data-id=\"4d12781\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"elementskit-heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ekit-wid-con\" ><div class=\"ekit-heading elementskit-section-title-wraper text_left   ekit_heading_tablet-   ekit_heading_mobile-\"><h2 class=\"ekit-heading--title elementskit-section-title  ekit-heading__title-has-border end\">Why you should have your optic nerve examined?<\/h2><div class=\"ekit_heading_separetor_wraper ekit_heading_elementskit-border-divider ekit-dotted\"><div class=\"elementskit-border-divider ekit-dotted\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-66 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-0989f36\" data-id=\"0989f36\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-760550b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"760550b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The examination of the optic nerve is an important part of the examination for glaucoma.

It consists of nerve fibers which end up inside the eye, in the retina cells. The retina is the light sensitive layer of our eye. When the doctor examines the patient (fundoscopy), can observe the optic nerve (optic disc) as well as the nerve fibers spreading out on the retina. Although the optic nerve may be affected by various diseases, the damage due to glaucoma has a characteristic appearance which allows the ophthalmologist to diagnose the ailment.<\/p><p>Other methods for the examination of the optic nerve that are commonly used and are useful tools for assessing the damage of the nerve and glaucoma development, are perimetry (examination of the visual field), HRT (Heidelberg Retina Tomograph), the OCT (Ocular Coherence Tomography) etc.<\/p><p>In glaucoma (where the optical fibers are destroyed), a larger cupping occurs (i.e., the yellow inner ring is bigger than normal).

In some cases, the optic nerve is damaged due to increased intraocular pressure. When we lower intraocular pressure, we can stop or delay the destruction of the optic nerve. For some patients, the optic nerve damage can be continued even if the intraocular pressure is maintained at low levels. Worldwide research is ongoing so as to understand the causes of glaucomatous damage in these patients and to develop new treatments to protect the optic nerve.<\/p><p>Many situations can cause high intraocular pressure. Therefore, high intraocular pressure might be a result of inflammation, bleeding, injury, tumor, congenital malformation, drug use, etc. However in most cases of glaucoma, no particular abnormality is detected. This condition is known as primary open-angle glaucoma. In other cases the eye may show abnormalities that cause closed-angle glaucoma. The closed-angle or narrow-angle glaucoma may be an acute condition and might need immediate treatment.<\/p><p>At least fifty mechanisms have been described that may increase the intraocular pressure, but all cause similar damage to the optic nerve.
