Glaucoma is an eye condition or group of diseases that damages the optic nerve that supplies visual information to your brain from your eyes. It is a progressive condition that worsens over time. The health of your optic nerve is vital for good vision.
Glaucoma is often linked to a build-up of pressure in the eye and a loss of nerve fibres in the optic nerve .
Glaucoma is a silent disease until it is very advanced.
