Glaucoma

Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, often linked to high pressure in the eye. This damage can lead to vision loss or blindness if not treated. It often develops gradually and may not show noticeable symptoms in its early stages. Regular eye exams are crucial for early detection, especially if you have risk factors like family history or age. Treatment options include eye drops, medications, and sometimes surgery, all aimed at lowering eye pressure to protect your vision. Early diagnosis and management can help preserve sight for many years.
