Glaucoma, the leading cause of blindness in people over 60, is a condition affecting the optic nerve. Elevated eye pressure gradually damages this nerve, comprised of fibers transmitting signals from the eye to the brain. Once damaged, these fibers cannot regenerate. Interestingly, early changes in peripheral vision often go unnoticed by patients.

AVM is usually a congenital condition, meaning it is present at birth. Although AVM can develop anywhere in the body, it is commonly seen in the brain and spine, where it can cause headaches and seizures. Understanding the risks associated with an arteriovenous malformation (AVM) rupture in the brain is crucial. Early detection and prompt medical intervention can make a significant difference.

Glaucoma: Overview Glaucoma is a common eye condition where the optic nerve, which connects the eye to the brain, becomes damaged. It's usually caused by fluid building up in the front part of the eye, which increases pressure inside the eye. Glaucoma can lead to loss of vision if it's not diagnosed and treated early. It can affect people of all ages, but is most common in adults in their 70s and 80s. #MayorHealth #GlaucomaAwarenessMonth #GlaucomaCare

Understanding brain hemorrhages: Intracerebral Hemorrhage (ICH) occurs within brain tissue, often due to issues like uncontrolled blood pressure, while Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (SAH) happens in the space around the brain, and is commonly caused by an aneurysm rupture. Recognizing these distinctions is crucial for prompt medical attention. For a consultation, please get in touch with us at +91-7087009871 https://bit.ly/3XbZJvJ #IntracerebralHemorrhage #ICH #SubarachnoidHemorrhage #SAH #aneurysmrupture #Hemorrhage

#WetAMD is a type of macular degeneration where abnormal blood vessels (choroidal neovascularization or CNV) grow into the macula, the central area of the retina. As a result, CNV causes swelling and edema of the retina, bleeding and scarring, visual distortion and reduced visual acuity. Without treatment, this process can cause irreversible damage to central vision and potentially lead to blindness. Our lead clinical candidate, 4D-150, has the potential to significantly reduce treatment burden and control disease activity, revolutionizing the treatment approach for patients with wet AMD.

September is Cortical Visual Impairment (CVI) Awareness Month. This disease is the primary cause of visual impairment in children in the U.S. and other developed countries, this obscure form of ocular impairment originates in the brain's visual cortex rather than in the eye itself. Make sure to have consistent appointments with your optometrist! #Ophthalmology360 #CVIAwarenessMonth #CorticalVisualImpairment #CorticalVisualImpairmentAwarenessMonth #OcularDisease #Visual #VisionLoss #Ocular
