HealthDay (3/3, Preidt) reported that, according to a study published online “early signs of glaucoma can be detected in the brain.” Working with laboratory animals, researchers from the Vanderbilt Eye Institute “found that a very early mechanism of glaucoma-related vision loss involves deterioration of communication between the optic nerve and the mid-brain, which handles information about sensory input such as sound, heat, cold, pain and pressure.” After a while, “the optic nerve, then the retina, show signs of degeneration,” a study author explained.

Currently, regular, comprehensive eye exams are the best known way to detect early signs of glaucoma, allowing early treatment for best out come.
