A glaucoma is a group of diseases that affect the optic nerve and involves a loss of retinal ganglion cells in a characteristic pattern. It is a type of optic neuropathy. Raised intraocular pressure is a significant risk factor for developing glaucoma (above 22 mmHg or 2.9 kPa). One person may develop nerve damage at relatively low pressure, while another person may have high eye pressure for years and yet never develop damage. Untreated glaucoma leads to permanent damage of the optic nerve and resultant visual field loss, which can progress to blindness.

Common QuestionsGlaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, often due to increased eye pressure. If left untreated, it can lead to vision loss or blindness.
In the early stages, glaucoma often has no noticeable symptoms. As it progresses, symptoms may include blurred vision, eye pain, headaches, and peripheral vision loss. Regular eye check-ups are essential for early detection.
Treatment options include eye drops, laser therapy, and surgery to reduce eye pressure and prevent further damage. Early diagnosis and proper treatment can help preserve vision.
