Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that impact the optic nerve, which is crucial for good vision. This damage is often caused by abnormally high pressure in the eye, and if left untreated, it can lead to vision loss.
In the early stages, glaucoma may not present noticeable symptoms and many people do not realize they have it until significant vision loss occurs. Routine eye exams are vital for early detection.
Glaucoma treatment options include eye drops, medications, laser therapy or surgery to reduce eye pressure and prevent additional damage to the optic nerve. Although these treatments can help protect the remaining vision, they cannot restore any vision already lost.
