Question
What is glaucoma and what are its symptoms?
Answer
Glaucoma is a common and serious eye disease that can lead to deafness, characterized by a rapid onset and high risk. It is marked by a drop in intraocular pressure that falls below the level the eye can tolerate, either intermittently or continuously, which poses harm to various parts of the eye tissues and vision function, resulting in optic nerve atrophy, narrowing of the visual field, and deterioration of vision. Early detection and lowering of intraocular pressure are common methods for treating glaucoma.
