A: The USDA created the Plant Hardiness Zone Map to help gardeners select plants that will survive in their particular climate zone. The zones are based on the average annual lowest winter temperature in a location, and each numeric zone spans 10 degrees (F) and is further divided into 5-degree âaâ and âbâ sections.
Secondary Glaucoma. Secondary glaucoma is often a side effect of injury or another eye condition, such as cataract or eye tumors. Medicines, such as corticosteroids, may also cause this type of glaucoma.

Its symptoms may include severe eye pain, nausea, redness in the eye, seeing colored rings around lights, and blurred vision.
