Glaucoma is an eye condition where abnormally high fluid pressure builds up inside your eye. Over time, this intense pressure damages the optic nerve, which is essential for transmitting visual information to your brain.
It is known as the "silent thief" of sight because it typically develops without any early warning signs or pain. By the time you start noticing blind spots or a narrowing of your peripheral vision, the permanent damage has already been done.
Do not wait for symptoms to appear before taking action. If you have a family history of eye conditions or haven't had a check-up recently, schedule a routine comprehensive exam with your eye doctor as soon as possible to measure your eye pressure.
