Primary Glaucoma
Primary Glaucoma is a chronic eye condition that causes damage to the optic nerve, resulting in progressive and irreversible vision loss. It occurs when the pressure inside the eye (intraocular pressure) is too high for the optic nerve to function properly. The most common symptom is gradual loss of peripheral vision, but if it is not treated promptly, it can lead to complete blindness. Glaucoma is usually treated with eye drops, laser surgery or other surgical procedures to reduce intraocular pressure. Early diagnosis is essential to prevent further vision loss, and regular comprehensive eye exams are important for early detection.
