Glaucoma is a progressive eye condition that damages the optic nerve, often due to increased intraocular pressure (IOP). If left untreated, it can lead to permanent vision loss. Understanding what causes glaucoma can help in early detection and prevention.
The primary cause of glaucoma is elevated eye pressure, which occurs when fluid buildup in the eye disrupts normal drainage. Other risk factors include genetics, aging, diabetes, high blood pressure, and eye injuries. Some types of glaucoma, like normal-tension glaucoma, can occur even with normal eye pressure, making regular eye check-ups essential.
