Glaucoma is an eye disease that, without proper treatment, can lead to blindness 1,8. One of the most common form of glaucoma occurs when the eye's drainage system becomes clogged with fluid which causes pressure within the eye. Increased pressure damages the optic nerve and can result in vision loss 3... Glaucoma occurs when the liquid that nourishes and bathes the inside of the eye does not drain properly... The eye is a globe that is filled with fluid. The amount of fluid within the eye is consistently maintained at a healthy level. If there is overproduction of fluid, or poor overflow, it can cause the pressure within the eye (also known as intraocular pressure or IOP) to rise. Raised pressure within the eye can damage the optic nerve, which may in turn lead to blindness. Therefore, maintaining normal pressure within the eye is important. In some cases, even though your eye pressure is normal, you could still be at risk for glaucoma. Please consult your ophthalmologist regularly.
