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
