10 Causes of Glaucoma
Cause Of Glaucoma #10: Chemical Injuries
Chemicals are everywhere, even water is a chemical. The vast majority are completely harmless to us whereas many (such as water) are even essential to us. That cannot be said for all chemicals, though, and some are very dangerous to us indeed.
Even around our homes we are likely to find dangerous chemicals. For example, bleach and other cleaning products can be very corrosive and battery acid also needs to be handled with care. You should be especially careful not to get them into your eyes where they can cause irreversible damage, including glaucoma. If you do get chemicals in your eyes, wash your eyes with water immediately and get medical attention.
