Glaucoma is a progressive optic nerve disease that can lead to irreversible blindness if untreated. It is commonly associated with elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) and includes types like primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and angle-closure glaucoma (ACG). Early detection through routine eye exams, optic nerve imaging, and visual field assessments is crucial, as symptoms often appear late. Treatment focuses on reducing IOP using medications, laser therapy, or surgery to slow disease progression. Ongoing research explores neuroprotection strategies and innovative surgical approaches to enhance patient outcomes.
