Glaucoma is a progressive disease that eventually robs you of your sight. The disease damages your optic nerve, which carries signals from your retina to your brain. Glaucoma most often is caused by abnormally high pressure inside your eye. Medical treatment, like glaucoma surgery, relieves the pressure in your eye and takes preventative measures to keep the pressure from building again.

The optic nerve enables your vision, as it carries sensory nerve impulses from the retina, which collects the focused light, to your brain. Damage to the optic nerve most often occurs when you have abnormally high pressure within your eye. Anything that blocks the flow of fluid in your eye can increase the pressure, leading to glaucoma. This eye condition threatens your sight in the affected eye. Glaucoma can also cause symptoms such as: - Severe headaches - Eye pain - Nausea and vomiting - Blurred vision - Halos around lights - Eye redness If you notice any of the signs of glaucoma, consult a glaucoma specialist for an early diagnosis.
