Glaucoma Management
About Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve, usually due to high intraocular pressure (IOP). Known as the “silent thief of sight”, it can cause irreversible vision loss if not detected early.
Symptoms of Glaucoma
- Gradual loss of peripheral vision
- Tunnel vision in advanced stages
- Halos around lights
- Eye pain, nausea, and vomiting in acute cases
- Often asymptomatic in early stages
