The increased pressure, called intraocular pressure, can damage the optic nerve, which transmits images to the brain. If damage to the optic nerve from high eye pressure continues, glaucoma will cause loss of vision. Without treatment, glaucoma can cause total permanent blindness within a few years.

Normal pressure will remain under 21mm of mercury. Treatment of glaucoma varies depending on the diagnosis. Medications may be used to drain fluid or produce less fluid. Conventional eye surgery to create a new opening for fluid to drain is used as …

Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that involve a gradual build of aqueous humor, a fluid that is naturally and continuously produced in the front part of the eye, causing increased eye pressure (intraocular pressure).
Normal-Tension Glaucoma | Glaucoma Research Foundation
All treatment for glaucoma aims to lower your eye pressure to prevent damage to your optic nerve and your sight. Damage to the optic nerve can occur at different eye pressures among different people. Even if your eye pressure is at a normal level to begin with, treatment will still be aimed at lowering this pressure to a level which is safe for ...

But blindness from glaucoma can often be prevented with early treatment. Types of glaucoma. There are two major types of glaucoma. Primary open-angle glaucoma. In a healthy eye, excess fluid leaves the eye through the drainage angle, keeping pressure stable. This is the most common type of glaucoma.

Dear Notetaker:
The most common treatment for open-angle glaucoma is eye drops, which lower the pressure in the eye. It’s very important for people with glaucoma to take their medications as directed. Laser surgery or conventional surgery is also used to reduce eye pressure by increasing outflow of fluid from the eye.
