Glaucoma

GLAUCOMA

It is considered the main cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. It is estimated that approximately 3.5% of people between 40 and 80 years old have glaucoma.

In most cases, glaucoma is associated with higher than normal pressure inside the eye, a condition known as intraocular hypertension. However, it can also occur when intraocular pressure (IOP) is at normal levels. If not treated or controlled, glaucoma causes, in the first instance, a loss of lateral (peripheral) vision and can ultimately lead to blindness. From the age of 40, it is very important to undergo an eye examination
