Glaucoma is a disease that damages the optic nerve. It usually develops when fluid builds up in the front of the eye, raising the pressure inside the eye and gradually damaging the nerve.
Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness in people over 60, yet vision loss can often be prevented with early treatment. Because symptoms develop slowly, many people do not notice them; a comprehensive dilated eye examination is the only reliable way to detect the disease.
