Understanding Glaucoma: A Vision-Threatening Eye Disease
Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness worldwide, especially in individuals over 40. It usually develops when there is a buildup of intraocular pressure (IOP) due to poor drainage of fluid inside the eye. This pressure damages the optic nerve—the vital structure responsible for transmitting visual information from your light-sensitive retina to the brain.
Symptoms of Glaucoma
In its early stages, glaucoma typically has no noticeable signs. However, as the disease progresses, patients may experience:
- Blurred vision
- Peripheral vision loss
- Halos around lights
- Eye pain or redness
- Sudden vision changes (in acute cases)
Early intervention is critical. Regular eye exams in Dubai can help detect glaucoma before it leads to irreversible blindness.
