Glaucoma: Understanding the Risk of Blindness and Treatment Options
Glaucoma: A Silent Threat to Vision
Glaucoma is a prevalent eye condition that can lead to blindness or vision loss if left untreated. However, the speed at which this occurs varies significantly across individuals and is influenced by a multitude of factors, including some that are within our control.
Understanding the Disease and Its Effects
Glaucoma occurs when there is increased pressure within the eye (intraocular pressure), which damages the optic nerve that connects the eye to the brain. Over time, this damage can impair vision, ultimately leading to blindness if not managed effectively.
