It is one of the most common irreversible eye diseases
Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that damages the optic nerve, which are caused by
increased pressure from fluid that builds up inside the eye. The amount of pressure that
can cause damage varies from person to person. Glaucoma affects peripheral (or side)
vision, narrowing the field of vision and even leads to blindness if left untreated. The most
common form is primary open-angle glaucoma, which can affect one or both eyes.
