What is glaucoma?

Glaucoma is a group of diseases that damage the optic nerve, the cable that carries images from your eye to your brain. It is usually, but not always, caused by pressure inside the eye that is too high for the nerve to tolerate. Left unchecked, it quietly erodes peripheral vision first, then central vision, until the loss becomes permanent.

The most common form, primary open angle glaucoma, develops so slowly that most patients feel fine for years. That is exactly what makes routine eye exams matter. By the time vision changes are noticeable, a portion of the optic nerve is already gone and cannot be restored. The good news is that with early detection and consistent treatment, the vast majority of patients keep their sight for life.

Risk factors

Age 60 or older
Risk rises sharply with age — particularly after 60.
Family history
A parent or sibling with glaucoma doubles your risk.
Elevated eye pressure
Sustained high intraocular pressure is the leading risk factor.
Loss of peripheral vision
Bumping into doorways or missing objects to the side.
Halos around lights
Rainbow rings at night — especially if paired with eye pain.
Diabetes or high blood pressure
Systemic conditions that affect blood flow to the optic nerve.
