Glaucoma

Glaucoma refers to a group of eye conditions often associated with high pressure inside the eye, which can damage the optic nerve. The most common types include narrow-angle glaucoma and open-angle glaucoma, each with distinct symptoms but both posing a risk of vision loss.

Often referred to as “the silent thief of sight,” untreated glaucoma can lead to significant damage before symptoms become apparent. Treatment usually involves lowering eye pressure with medications or surgical options.
