Glaucoma is an eye disease that robs people of the gift of clear sight. This condition is difficult to diagnose especially if treated in the late stage of the disease. Since glaucoma develops slowly over the years, the regular eye exam helps greatly with the early detection. Eye care will counteract glaucoma risk factors if treated in time.
Many of the patients only seek treatment when they notice that they are losing their sight. In this case, it implies that the critical damage has already occurred in your eyes. The optic nerve that connects the eye to the brain has been damaged that requires immediate treatment in order to avoid irreparable blindness. However, there are different types of glaucoma and treatment varies too. Once the patient has been diagnosed with glaucoma, it will not be cured and the vision that has been lost will not be restored. However. further sight loss will be prevented and controlled through medication or surgery. Glaucoma patients will be given lifelong supervision for best results and care.
