Understanding Glaucoma

Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve, often due to high intraocular pressure. It can lead to vision loss and blindness if not treated promptly. Early detection and treatment are crucial to managing this condition effectively.

Types of Glaucoma

There are several types of glaucoma, including:

  • Open-Angle Glaucoma: The most common form, where the drainage angle remains open, but the trabecular meshwork is partially blocked.
  • Angle-Closure Glaucoma: Occurs when the drainage angle closes, leading to a rapid increase in eye pressure.
  • Normal-Tension Glaucoma: Optic nerve damage occurs despite normal eye pressure.
  • Congenital Glaucoma: A rare form present at birth due to abnormal eye development.

Causes of Glaucoma

Glaucoma can be caused by various factors:

  • Increased intraocular pressure
  • Family history of glaucoma
  • Age (more common in individuals over 60)
  • Medical conditions such as diabetes and hypertension
  • Eye injuries or surgeries
