WHAT IS GLAUCOMA?

Glaucoma is a group of diseases that results in progressive damage to the optic nerve. The optic nerve is the structure that relays what the eyes see to the brain. The major risk factor for glaucoma is increased pressure inside the eye or intraocular pressure.

Glaucoma causes irreversible blindness. Vision loss starts at the edges of the visual field and occurs gradually until a large area of vision is lost.

There is no cure to glaucoma. Damage to the optic nerve cause by glaucoma is permanent. However, glaucoma can be controlled especially when discovered early, and further visual damage can be prevented.



A PUBLIC ADVISORY FROM THE PHILIPPINE ACADEMY OF OPHTHALMOLOGY: Beware of unproven eye medicine, eye drops, and eye devices that are being peddled as a cure-all or prevention of the different eye conditions. Consult your ophthalmologist for the proper care of your eyes.
