Glaucoma causes raised pressure and the increased pressure in your eye, Called intraocular pressure, can harm your optic nerve. This is the nerve that sends images to your brain. If the damage worsens with time, Glaucoma can cause a permanent vision loss or even complete blindness.
The worrying thing is that most patients of glaucoma have no early symptoms or pain. Visit your eye doctor regularly so they can diagnose and treat Glaucoma before you have long-term vision loss.
Contact your ophthalmologist If you have a family history of Glaucoma or you observe any signs pointing towards Glaucoma to determine the right treatment option for you.
