Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that can damage the optic nerve and gradually affect vision. Many people have no clear symptoms in the early stages, making eye examinations important.

Treatment aims to limit further damage, often by lowering eye pressure with prescribed drops, laser treatment or surgery. Existing visual loss is generally permanent, so ongoing follow-up matters.
