What is Glaucoma?

Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve, often caused by increased pressure inside the eye. It is one of the leading causes of irreversible blindness worldwide, yet it is preventable if detected early.

Who is at Risk?

People with a family history, diabetes, high eye pressure, or age over 40 have a higher risk of developing glaucoma.

The Silent Thief

Glaucoma is a painless and symptomless disease that can cause irreversible vision loss if left undetected.

How it's Diagnosed

Glaucoma is detected through comprehensive eye evaluations, including eye pressure checks, OCT imaging, visual field tests, and optic nerve assessments.

Glaucoma

Glaucoma is a progressive eye disease where early detection and timely treatment can slow its damage and protect vision for the long term.
