Glaucoma is a disease that damages your eye’s optic nerve. This happens when fluid builds up in the front part of your eye, resulting in abnormal high eye pressure. This pressure can damage the optic nerve, resulting in permanent vision loss.

Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness for people over 60 years old. However, blindness from glaucoma can often be prevented with early diagnosis and treatment. 

There are many different types of glaucoma.
