Glaucoma is the most common form of optic nerve damage in which fluid build-up occurs in the front part of the eye. This intraocular pressure causes damage to the optic nerve. Untreated or poorly managed glaucoma may result in a permanent loss of vision. Glaucoma affects both males and females, and the risk increases with age.
The risk factors associated with glaucoma include diabetes, family history of glaucoma, hypertension, myopia, previous eye injury, and surgery. Take this short quiz based on the facts about glaucoma and show your expertise. Sources: Mayo clinic, NCBI
