Glaucoma is a disease in which the optic nerve inside the eye is gradually damaged by high intraocular pressure or other factors, causing the visual field to narrow progressively. There are almost no symptoms in the early stage, so detection can be delayed, and rather than a cure, lifelong consistent management is important. Detecting it early through regular checkups and starting treatment is the best way to help prevent blindness.2026-06-26

Spring fatigue syndrome is a condition marked by a combination of fatigue, sleepiness, reduced appetite, and difficulty concentrating during the spring season. It occurs as the body temporarily adjusts to the increasing daylight hours of the season. It usually improves on its own within a few weeks and can be managed with exercise, a regular routine, and a balanced diet. However, fatigue that persists regardless of season may have a different cause, so please consult a medical specialist in that case.2026-06-26
