Abstract
Glaucoma is an eye disorder that can damage the optic nerve. The optic nerve supplies visual information to your brain from the eyes. Glaucoma is usually, results of abnormally high pressure inside your eye. Over time, the increased pressure can erode optic nerve tissue, which may lead to vision loss or blindness. If it’s treated early, you may be able to prevent additional vision loss.
