What Is Glaucoma?
Glaucoma is a disease that directly impacts the
optic nerve of the eye, which slowly
deteriorates over a period of time as a result.
It's a debilitating eye disease that can have
long-term affects on your vision if left
untreated, such as permanent damage of the optic
nerve and blindness
3
Causes of Glaucoma
There are different types of glaucoma. Most
occur when pressure in the eye (intraocular)
increases, damaging the optic nerve but
sometimes optic nerve damage can occur even when
intraocular pressure is normal. Other types of
glaucoma are rare and are caused by abnormal eye
development, drugs, eye infections or
inflammatory conditions, interruption of blood
supply to the eye, systemic diseases and trauma.

Glaucoma Treatment Options
Treatment for glaucoma focuses on preserving
eyesight by slowing the damage to the nerve in

(intraocular pressure, or IOP). Glaucoma is
usually treated with medications such as eye
drops. Laser treatment or surgery
