Glaucoma

Glaucoma usually begins when pressure builds up in the eye. The pressure can damage the optic nerve, which sends messages to the brain so you can see. When the optic nerve is damaged, vision loss occurs making glaucoma a potentially blinding disease.

There Are Two Types of Glaucoma

Open-Angle Glaucoma

Open-angle glaucoma worsens slowly. It has no symptoms except for gradual vision loss and it often affects both eyes.

Closed-Angle Glaucoma

Closed-angle glaucoma results in sudden, intense eye pain and usually only affects one eye at a time.
