Like several parts of the body, the eye is also susceptible to infections or diseases. Eye diseases often do not show early symptoms and sometimes even the pain does not exist because not many see any change in their vision until the disease has reached its final stage. Therefore, the best defence is to have regular eye checkups. Glaucoma refers to a group of eye conditions leading to damage to optic nerves as a result of increased pressure in the eyes. Clogs occur in the drainage system of the eye, hence blocking the draining of the intraocular fluid. With the accumulation of this fluid, pressure builds in the eye. High pressure causes damage to the sensitive optic nerves. A damage to the optic nerve causing loss of vision due to many reasons. If untreated, this will cause gradual vision loss. Commonly observed symptoms include: blurred vision, glare, eye pain, headache, and narrowed vision. Treatment aims at reducing the intraocular pressure and preventing further damage to the optic nerves. Intraocular pressure can be reduced by increasing the drainage of aqueous humor or reducing its production through medications. "In the early 1900’s, the Russian Revolution occurred. There were many causes for the revolution, including the government and the things people needed. This revolution affected Russia and led to change. Although some changes were helpful, some of them did not resolve the initial problems that caused the Russian Revolution. Many things caused the Russian Revolution. A few causes were the tactics the Czar, Nicholas II, used to suppress reform. He sought to industrialize the country and build the strength of the country’s economy, but he used harsh tactics and secret police to stop change. Because of the rapid industrialization of Russia, many peasants were working long hours and the government didn’t enforce any regulations in the factories or child labor laws. This caused the people of Russia to form revolutionary movements. One of these movements, and another cause of the Russian Revolution, was the March Revolution. The lack of food, fuel and housing resulted in the spark of a revolution that started with factory workers protesting. Russian soldiers that were sent out to kill the civilians instead shot their officers and joined the revolution."
