| compensated glaucoma | <ophthalmology> A disorder which is characterised by increased pressure within the eyeball. This occurs secondary to the chronic blockage of normal fluid circulation within the eye. Increased pressure within the eye can cause damage to the optic nerve and eventual blindness. Glaucoma is the leading cause of blindness. Symptoms include decreased vision, halos around lights (worse at night) and mild chronic headaches. Treatment is generally with beta-blocker eyedrops. Synonym: chronic glaucoma, compensated glaucoma, simple glaucoma, glaucoma simplex. (22 Sep 2002) |

| compensated metabolic alkalosis | The retention of acid, primarily carbon dioxide by the lung and acid ions by the renal tubules, to reduce the effect on the pH of the blood of excess alkali produced by ingestion or metabolism of alkali-producing substances. (05 Mar 2000) |
| compensated respiratory acidosis | Retention of bicarbonate by the renal tubules to minimise the effect on the pH of the blood of retention of carbon dioxide by the lungs, such as occurs with hypoventilation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| compensated respiratory alkalosis | The increased excretion of acid ions by the kidney to minimise the effect on the pH of the blood of excessive loss of carbon dioxide via the lungs, such as occurs with hyperventilation. (05 Mar 2000) |
