Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions common in adults over 60 years, it causes  damage to the optic nerve, the health of which is vital for good vision. This damage is often caused by an abnormally high pressure in the eye.

Many forms of glaucoma have no warning signs and the effect is gradual, so changes in vision may not be noticed until it is at an advanced stage.

Loss of vision due to glaucoma cannot be recovered so  it’s important to have regular eye exams to measure the eye pressure, so a diagnosis can be made in its early stages and treated appropriately.
