Glaucoma

A glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve and its health is essential for good vision. This damage is often caused by abnormally high pressure in the eyes. Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness in people over the age of 60. It can occur at any age, but it is more common in the elderly. 

The damage caused by glaucoma can't be reversed. But treatment and regular checkups can help slow or prevent vision loss, especially if you catch the disease in its early stages.

Glaucoma Surgery includes laser treatment or eye cuts to reduce intraocular pressure. The type of surgery recommended by your doctor depends on the type and severity of glaucoma and the general health of your eyes. If the medicine is not enough, surgery can help lower blood pressure.
