Abstract

Glaucoma is a common eye condition where optic nerve damage, this is not only the pathological changes in the optic nerve its effect the brain nerve too, the human brain is a complex web of neurons and synapses, however the eye correlated with the brain in a specific way, therefore when people study the diseases of the eye the first thing that comes to mind is always the connection to the brain. Which means glaucoma lesions are not limited to the retinal nerves, its damage reaches the white matter areas that are involved in the processing and integration of visual information in the brain, which means that the damage caused by glaucoma can reach the brain. We found researchers who used the VBM method to study whole brain comparisons in glaucoma patients, to meticulously describing the effects of glaucoma lesions in the brain. These two methods allow the comparison of multiple images of the brain with voxels to measure differences in local concentrations of brain tissue, thus revealing intra cerebral differences between patients with glaucoma and the general. It is also the relationship between glaucoma and the nerves in the brain that is at the center of the title and exploration of this paper. The differences between the brains of glaucoma patients and the general will be mentioned, as well as the pathogenesis of glaucoma, the treatment of the glaucoma works through medical method and surgery are also be mentioned in this paper.
