Glaucoma #101 – Causes, Symptoms, Types, & Treatment | MahaveerEyeHospital

Glaucoma is a chronic eye condition that causes a significant rise in the intraocular pressure (IOP) within the eye and damages the optic nerves, which leads to degradation of the eyesight. Aqueous Humour is a fluid that is produced and drained out of the eye, maintaining a certain amount of pressure within the eye, known as the intraocular pressure (IOP). It nourishes the inner tissues and nerves of the eye by moving through a small space between the iris and the cornea’s innermost surface called the anterior chamber. If this fluid slows down within the chamber and starts accumulating, it also increases the IOP that the nerves and tissues in the eye experience. The rising pressure damages the optic nerves and hinders their light-detecting and signalling functionalities causing severe to complete loss of vision. As the development of glaucoma in the eye is a painless and symptomless process, it is extremely difficult to detect its presence even when it grows s...
