Glaucoma

GlaucomaGlaucoma is a group of diseases that are generally distinguished by an increase in pressure inside the eye, which causes damage to the optic nerve. Interestingly, elevated eye pressure is not always noted however.

To understand glaucoma, one must first understand the normal circulation of the eye. The eye receives its nourishment from a clear fluid called “aqueous fluid” which is continually produced inside the eye. The aqueous is returned to the blood stream through the eye's drainage “angle” between the cornea (the clear window of the eye) and the iris (the colored part of the eye). When the fluid cannot drain fast enough, pressure inside the eye begins to build. This excess fluid pressure pushes against the delicate optic nerve that connects the eye to the brain. If the pressure remains too high for too long, irreversible damage to the nerve and subsequent vision loss can occur.
