Glaucoma is an eye condition that involves increased pressure in the eye which can lead to damage to the optic nerve and vision loss. It is a leading cause of blindness in the world. Risk factors for developing glaucoma include age, family history, and medical conditions such as high blood pressure and diabetes. Treatment for glaucoma includes medications, laser therapy, or surgery. There is currently no cure for glaucoma, so it is important to visit your eye doctor regularly and get regular check-ups to detect any changes in your eye health.
