Secondary Glaucoma

Secondary glaucoma is a type of glaucoma that occurs as a result of another medical condition or issue. Unlike primary glaucoma, which can develop on its own, secondary glaucoma can be triggered by factors such as eye injuries, inflammation, tumors, or use of certain medications. In this condition, the fluid in the eye can't drain properly, leading to increased pressure. If left untreated, this pressure can damage the optic nerve, resulting in vision loss. It's important to identify and address the underlying cause to effectively manage secondary glaucoma. Regular eye check-ups can help with early detection and treatment.
