If tension does not lower with a few houn, surgery, creating a channel, is necessary to prevent blindness. Prior to 1939, an infant born with a defective anterior angle suffered almost certain blindness. Now, surgery, as soon as the condition is discovered in infants or young children prevents sight loss. Glaucoma babies are sensitive to light; blink and weep. Later, mounting pressure bulges the eyeball outward. 4 Army Denies Restricting 500 Soldiers Does a Person Need a Surgeon for His Eyes? IT'S A more Insidious form of glaucoma develops slowly and without pain, due to partial constriction of the minute drainage canals. One out of 50 Americans over 40 have glaucoma; and most of them don't know It. It is urgent they should know, since treatment may save their sight. Eye doctors are so concerned over rise ift glaucoma among Americans they high- - tension have recommended that general physicians make eyeball tension tests on all patients over 40. Some glaucoma can be controlled by drugs which constrict the pupil, keeping the iris pulled away from the faulty angle even in darkness, when normally the pupil gets big. In others surgery is needed to provide drainage. Unchecked glaucoma causes such pressure at the back of the eyeball that a kind of chuck hole forms.
