So what is Glaucoma?
Glaucoma is a potential eye blinding disease in which there is gradual damage to the nerve fibers of the optic nerve. It is a disease that directly affects the eyes, they are part of the human’s central nervous system and are responsible for the vision each individual enjoys. Glaucoma develops by ongoing intraocular pressure, which then damages the nerves surrounding the eye. (Ophthalmology: just the facts / [edited by] John I. Loewenstein, Scott Lee.
