Glaucoma and its risk factors
2
Glaucoma is a condition that damages your eye's
optic nerve. It gets worse over time. It's often
linked to a buildup of pressure inside your eye.
Glaucoma tends to run in families. You usually
dont get it until later in life.
The increased pressure in your eye, called
intraocular pressure, can damage your optic
nerve, which sends images to your brain. If the
damage worsens, glaucoma can cause permanent
vision loss or even total blindness within a few
years.
Most people with glaucoma have no early symptoms
or pain. Visit your eye doctor regularly so they
can diagnose and treat glaucoma before you have
long-term vision loss.
