Overview

Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, the health of which

is vital for good vision. This damage is often caused by an abnormally high pressure in

your eye.

Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness for people over the age of 60. It can occur at any age but is more common in older adults.

Many forms of glaucoma have no warning signs. The effect is so gradual that you may not notice a change in vision until the condition is at an advanced stage.

Because vision loss due to glaucoma can't be recovered, it's important to have regular eye exams that include measurements of your eye pressure so a diagnosis can be made in its early stages and treated appropriately. If glaucoma is recognized early, vision loss can be slowed or prevented. If you have the condition, you'll generally need treatment for the rest of your life.

Symptoms The signs and symptoms of glaucoma vary depending on the type and stage of your con-dition. For example:

Open-angle glaucoma • Patchy blind spots in your side (peripheral) or central vision, frequently in both eyes

Tunnel vision in the advanced stages

Acute angle-closure glaucoma • Severe headache • Eye pain • Nausea and vomiting • Blurred vision • Halos around lights • Eye redness If left untreated, glaucoma will eventually cause blindness. Even with treatment, about 15 percent of people with glaucoma become blind in at least one eye within 20 years.

When to see a doctor Promptly go to an emergency room or an eye doctor's (ophthalmologist's) office if you

experience some of the symptoms of acute angle-closure glaucoma, such as severe head-

ache, eye pain and blurred vision.
