Silas (by SMS)Glaucoma is a condition that damages your eye›s optic nerve. The increased pressure in your eye, called intraocular pressure, can damage your optic nerve, which sends images to your brain. If the damage worsens, glaucoma can cause permanent vision loss or even total blindness within a few years. But lowering eye pressure can help you keep the sight you have. Your doctor may use prescription eye drops, oral medications, laser surgery, or microsurgery to lower pressure in your eye.
