Phacolytic glaucoma other societal roles (such as driving and reading) as it reduces visual clarity. Phacolysis tends to be more frequently reported in underdeveloped countries because of the lack of resources necessary to treat such as condition. There are a variety of characteristics which indicate that an individual may have phacolytic glaucoma. Within older people, the lens of the eye may appear to be yellow and lose its transparency (becomes cloudy). Once the protein begins to seep into the lens, permanent damage to the lens may be caused as the precipitate in lens impairs vision. Another symptom includes the fading of visual
Normal tension glaucoma nerve head, in the absence of elevated IOP. While the excavation of the optic nerve head and the thinning of its rim appear in all kinds of glaucoma (with high tension and with normal tension,in Primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) and in secondary glaucoma), small hemorrhages close to the optic disc have been identified as a characteristic clinical sign of normal tension glaucoma. Visual field is very important to detect NTG. It shows a defect that typically appear deeper, steeper and closer to fixation comparing to patients with POAG. Since NTG is closely linked to vascular irregularities, a medical check-up
