Glaucoma is an eye condition that damages the optic nerve, often caused by elevated eye pressure — and without early detection, it can lead to permanent vision loss.
Glaucoma is often called 'the silent thief of sight' because it typically has no early symptoms — vision loss begins in the peripheral vision and progresses gradually, making regular eye exams essential for early detection.
Risk factors include being over 40, family history of glaucoma, high eye pressure, and African American or Hispanic heritage.
Treatment focuses on lowering eye pressure to protect the optic nerve and may include prescription eye drops, lifestyle guidance, close monitoring, and referral for advanced procedures when needed.
