Treatment of glaucoma is the symptomatic reduction of intraocular pressure using drops, lasers, surgery, and surgical implantation of glaucoma devices, to reduce pressure and prevent vision loss. Drops reduce intraocular pressure but do not treat the root cause of elevated pressure. Laser treatments and surgery reduce pressure, but can fail, allowing pressure to again rise. Implanted glaucoma devices have a high 5-year failure rate, and can cause corneal damage from touch to the underside of the cornea. The pathogenesis of…..
Chlamydia species, h-pylori and toxoplasmosis can migrate or metastasize from one part of the eye to another part of the eye. More than 25 scientific articles have “associated” chlamydia and H-pylori to glaucoma, and the severity of glaucoma has been “associated” with high chlamydia titers. Iris disintegration has been “associated” with toxoplasmosis, causing pigment-dispersion glaucoma. Yet, the Atlas of Glaucoma (2014) failed to mention chlamydia, H-pylori, or other immortal pathogens, in the discussion of glaucoma. Atlas of CLINICAL OPHTHALMOLOGY…..
