Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, which is essential for good vision. This damage is often caused by an abnormally high pressure in the eye. Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness for people over the age of 60. Although glaucoma can cause blindness if left untreated, blindness from glaucoma can often be prevented with early treatment. The condition is usually chronic and requires ongoing management to control eye pressure and prevent vision loss, which typically involves medications or surgical procedures. Regular eye exams are crucial for detecting early signs of optic nerve damage and for addressing this potentially debilitating condition.
