Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that can cause damage to the optic nerve, leading to irreversible vision loss if left untreated. It is one of the leading causes of blindness worldwide. Early diagnosis and effective treatment are crucial in managing this condition and preserving vision. What is Glaucoma? Glaucoma occurs when the pressure inside the eye, known as intraocular pressure (IOP), becomes elevated, damaging the optic nerve. However, not all cases involve high IOP; normal-tension glaucoma can occur even with normal eye pressure. The two main types of glaucoma are open-angle glaucoma and angle-closure glaucoma: Open-Angle Glaucoma: This is the most common type and develops slowly over time. It is often asymptomatic until significant vision loss occurs. Angle-Closure Glaucoma: This type can develop [...]
