Glaucoma

Unspecified Glaucoma

A group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, often due to elevated intraocular pressure, and can lead to blindness.

Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. Elevated intraocular pressure is the primary modifiable risk factor. Treatment includes topical eye drops (prostaglandin analogs, beta-blockers), oral carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, and surgical interventions.
