Understanding Glaucoma

Glaucoma is a progressive disease that damages the optic nerve, often due to elevated eye pressure. It is one of the leading causes of irreversible vision loss — but with early detection and proper treatment, most patients maintain excellent long‑term vision.

Common signs include:

  • Gradual peripheral vision loss
  • Difficulty seeing in dim lighting
  • Eye pressure fluctuations
  • Family history of glaucoma

Many patients have no symptoms at all, making regular evaluations essential.
