DefinitionGlaucoma is a conition o= increase pressure (,sora@ Sycosis) within the eyeall

causin7 7raual loss o= si7ht ue to ama7e to the optic is: y hi7h pressure

(,sora@ Syphilis).

Anatomy;he eye is a sli7htly une>en sphere aout an inch in iameter.

;he =ront part o= the eye inclues-

The iris-the pi7mente part

The cornea-a clear ome o>er the iris

The pupil-the lac: circular openin7 in the iris that lets li7ht in

The sclera-the white part

The conjunctiva-a thin layer o= tissue co>erin7 the =ront o= the eyeeere y this special li7ht-sensin7 cells which con>erts li7ht into electrical impulses

The optic nerve-situate ehin the eye which carries li7ht impulsesto the rain

The macula-a small ee area within the retina that 7i>escentral >ision. $t is locate in the center o= the retina

The fovea-a small epression or pit at the center o= the macula that7i>es the clearest >ision

The ciliary body-a small circular structure =oun ehin the iris or

colore portion o= the eye proucin7 clear Aui

The vitreous-most o= the eye is 8lle with this clear 7el

5ye color is create y the amount an type o= pi7ment in the iris. Multiple 7enes
