Phacolytic glaucoma diagnosis of current symptoms which could be caused because of these previous experiences. An ophthalmologic examination is another procedure which must be conducted to effectively diagnose phacolytic glaucoma. This test will indicate high levels of inflammation due to high intraocular pressures within the eyes. Additionally, the presence of calcium oxalate and cholesterol crystals from the degenerating cataract lens is an indication of phacolytic glaucoma but can only be identified by puncturing the cataract. This is specifically used to differentiate between uveitic glaucoma where keratic precipitates are present rather than calcium oxalate. Phacolysis is evident, more commonly, within elderly people as
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
