Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, often associated with increased intraocular pressure (IOP). It is a leading cause of irreversible vision loss worldwide. The most common form, primary open-angle glaucoma, develops gradually and often without noticeable symptoms until significant vision loss occurs.
Other types, such as angle-closure glaucoma, can present with sudden symptoms like severe eye pain, nausea, and blurred vision, requiring immediate medical attention. Risk factors include age, family history, certain medical conditions, and prolonged use of corticosteroids.
Regular eye examinations are crucial for early detection, as glaucoma often progresses silently. While there is no cure, glaucoma can be effectively managed with medications, laser treatments, or surgery to lower eye pressure and preserve vision. At Style Optique, we screen your eyes for glaucoma during your annual eye exam.
