Feline glaucoma symptoms:

Normal intraocular pressure is 15~25mmHg. Acute glaucoma is prone to eye pain, such as blepharospasm, epiphora, and pain. It may be severe enough to cause howling, drowsiness and anorexia, and may even lead to irreversible blindness 24 to 48 hours after the onset. Other common symptoms include corneal edema, superficial scleral hemorrhage, etc. In addition, the pain symptoms caused by chronic glaucoma are less obvious and may show some or all of the symptoms that occur in acute cases. Although the degree is mild, it must not be ignored.

Cat glaucoma treatment methods:

1. The doctor will choose a treatment method based on the urgency of glaucoma. The goals are to control intraocular pressure and avoid permanent vision. The formation of blindness includes intravenous injection of osmotic diuretics, intraocular pressure-lowering eye drops, and surgery.

2. When some blind, painful, glaucoma eyes cannot be successfully treated by all the above-mentioned treatments, the best way is to perform eyeball removal and insert a silicone ball. , used as artificial eyes.

Causes of cat glaucoma:

The eyeball is filled with liquid aqueous humor, which can maintain the normal shape of the eyeball, and this aqueous humor will continue to circulate and eliminate When the old is replaced with the new, once the aqueous humor cannot drain out of the eye smoothly, it will cause an increase in intraocular pressure, which is the so-called glaucoma. The defective part of the drainage path may be located in the pupil or iridocorneal angle. Glaucoma may be primary or secondary to other eye diseases. Angular dysplasia is the most common cause of primary glaucoma. This is due to the presence of a congenitally abnormal thin tissue in the ctenoid ligament, which narrows the entrance to the ciliary body fissure.
