Glaucoma is when the pressure inside the eye rises high enough to damage the optic nerve. The condition often develops over many years without causing pain - so you may not experience vision loss until the disease has progressed. Left untreated, glaucoma can cause blindness. Regular eye exams and early detection are critical. Symptoms include blurred vision, loss of peripheral vision, halo effects around lights and painful or reddened eyes.
