What Is Glaucoma?
Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve, usually due to increased pressure inside the eye (intraocular pressure).
The damage occurs gradually and often without noticeable symptoms until vision loss has already begun.
- Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma – The most common, slow-progressing type
- Angle-Closure Glaucoma – A more sudden and urgent form
- Normal-Tension Glaucoma – Optic nerve damage even with normal pressure levels
- Secondary Glaucoma – Related to other health issues or trauma
