Open-Angle

Glaucoma Open-angle glaucoma is an eye condition that is caused by a buildup of pressure in the eye. It affects the optic nerve, which is responsible for carrying information from the eye to the brain. If left untreated, the pressure can damage the optic nerve, eventually causing vision loss. Early detection and treatment can help prevent vision loss. Common treatments for open-angle glaucoma include medications and surgery to reduce eye pressure. Depending on the severity of the condition, these treatments can help to improve visual acuity, slow the progression of the disease, or prevent vision loss. Open-angle glaucoma is an important health condition to be aware of, as it is one of the leading causes of blindness worldwide.
