4. Glaucoma
Fluid buildup in the front of the eye can cause abnormal pressure that damages the optic nerve and may lead to glaucoma. Primary open-angle glaucoma may cause no pain or symptoms until damage is severe. People with another type of glaucoma, angle-closure glaucoma, may have no symptoms until a sudden attack of blurred vision, halos, eye pain and headaches occur.10Boyd, Kierstan. ‘What Is Glaucoma?’ American Academy of Ophthalmology, 14 Dec. 2020, www.aao.org/eye-health/diseases/what-is-glaucoma.,11Boyd, Kierstan. ‘What Are Common Glaucoma Symptoms?’ American Academy of Ophthalmology, 9 Oct. 2020, www.aao.org/eye-health/diseases/glaucoma-symptoms.
Damage from glaucoma is permanent, so prevention through regular eye exams is critical. Treatment may involve prescription eye drops and laser surgery.12Boyd, Kierstan. ‘Glaucoma Treatment.’ American Academy of Ophthalmology, 12 Dec. 2020, www.aao.org/eye-health/diseases/glaucoma-treatment.
