Asymmetric Glaucoma

Asymmetric glaucoma refers to a condition where one eye has more damage from glaucoma than the other. Glaucoma is an eye disease that damages the optic nerve, often due to increased eye pressure, leading to vision loss. In this form, the damage and vision problems are uneven between the two eyes, making it important for eye doctors to carefully monitor both eyes regularly. Recognizing asymmetry helps in tailoring treatment to protect the less-affected eye and prevent further vision loss, emphasizing that glaucoma can be uneven and requires detailed eye evaluations.
