  • Glaucome primitif à angle ouvert

    Rapport SFO 2014
    • 1st Edition
    • May 6, 2014
    • Jean-Paul Renard + 4 more
    • French
    Le glaucome est une maladie dégénérative du nerf optique qui entraîne une perte progressive de la vision commençant tout d'abord en périphérie et progressant graduellement vers le centre. Cette maladie est souvent associée à une pression intra-oculaire (PIO) élevée qui comprime et endommage les fibres du nerf optique et de la rétine. Dans d'autres cas, malgré une PIO normale, une circulation sanguine inadéquate entraîne la mort (nécrose) des cellules du nerf optique et de la rétine. La perte de vision associée au glaucome est permanente et irréversible. Sans traitement, cette maladie peut mener jusqu'à la cécité. Le glaucome est une maladie fréquente puisqu'il atteint 2 % de la population totale en France. Ce sujet de santé publique fera l'objet du rapport annuel de la SFO en 2014. Le rapport abordera : – les bases fondamentales et cliniques ; – la prise en charge thérapeutique ; – les aspects socio-économiques et juridiques ; – le dépistage et les incidences en terme de santé publique.
