Glaucoma is an eye condition that damages the optic nerve, which is essential for good vision. It is often associated with increased pressure inside the eye, which can gradually harm the optic nerve fibers responsible for transferring visual information from the eye to the brain. This damage can lead to vision loss or blindness if left untreated. Glaucoma is often referred to as the "silent thief of sight" because it can progress slowly and without symptoms until significant vision loss has occurred. Treatment for glaucoma typically involves medications to lower eye pressure, laser therapy, or surgery to improve drainage of fluid from the eye. Early detection and treatment are crucial for managing glaucoma and protecting vision. Regular eye exams can help detect glaucoma early, allowing for quick treatment to prevent vision loss.
