Glaucoma-related optic nerve damage can lead to permanent loss of visual field. The disease may progress without discomfort, so symptoms alone are not a reliable way to detect it.

An ophthalmologist can assess individual risk using an eye examination, eye pressure measurements and other tests as appropriate. Early detection and consistent care can reduce the risk of further damage.
