What is Glaucoma?
Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve, which carries visual information from the eye to the brain. The condition is commonly associated with increased intraocular pressure (eye pressure), although it can occur even when eye pressure is normal. Regular eye check-ups are the best way to detect glaucoma before significant vision loss occurs.
