Research Notes on Glaucoma

Glaucoma is a group of diseases of the optic nerve involving loss of retinal ganglion cells in a characteristic pattern of optic neuropathy.

One person may develop nerve damage at a relatively low pressure, while another person may have high eye pressure for years and yet never develop damage. ...read more from Wikipedia

Fast Facts:

  • Untreated glaucoma may lead to permanent blindness.
  • Glaucoma affects 1 in every 200 people 50 years old and under.
  • Treatment may include medications and surgery to lower the pressure in the eye.
