Chronic Glaucoma
Chronic glaucoma is a serious eye condition that occurs gradually over a period of time, usually without noticeable symptoms. It is caused by an increase in intraocular pressure, which leads to damage of the optic nerve, ultimately resulting in vision loss. Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness worldwide, especially in individuals over the age of 60. Early diagnosis and management of chronic glaucoma is essential to preserve vision and prevent blindness. Treatment typically involves the use of medications and/or surgery to reduce intraocular pressure and protect the optic nerve.
