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. Rarely, eye surgery can cause secondary glaucoma.laucoma is not a singular eye disease, but is instead a term for several eye conditions that can damage your optic nerve. The optic nerve is the nerve that supplies visual information to your brain from your eyes. Glaucoma is usually (but not always) the result of abnormally high pressure inside the eye.
In this study 12% of patients with manifest glaucoma were blind from glaucoma at the time of the last visit, a result that is comparable to ours. Our rates of low vision and blindness are considerably higher than those reported by Ang and Eke 9 (6.6% with partial sight certification, 0% blind).e have access to data on a large and representative part of all diagnosed glaucoma patients in our catchment area (population 305 000). This gave us the opportunity to study the lifetime risk of low vision and blindness in patients with open-angle glaucoma as well as the time with visual impairment from glaucoma.
