Glaucoma: What Is It?

Glaucoma is generally associated with a build-up of pressure inside the eye also called Intraocular Pressure (IOP). This happens when the fluid, aqueous humour inside the eye stops draining from the eye.In Glaucoma, the eye fluid drainage system gets blocked leading to pressure build-up. The fluid pressure build-up can be attributed to the deterioration of the optic nerve as well as genetic factors. The optic nerve of the eye is responsible for transmitting images to the brain.

Glaucoma, if not corrected or treated, can lead to severe damage as well as complete loss of vision. Many a time, glaucoma causes no pain or discomfort until the vision loss starts. Hence, it is essential to do regular check-ups to detect and treat eye diseases like glaucoma.
