Glaucoma is a condition that damages the optic nerve, often due to increased eye pressure from fluid buildup in the front of the eye. This damage can lead to vision loss if left untreated, which is why early diagnosis and management are crucial. Glaucoma care focuses on controlling intraocular pressure to prevent further damage. Possible treatments include:
