10 Causes of Glaucoma
Cause Of Glaucoma #2: Thin Cornea
The cornea is the transparent part of the front of the eye. It is concave in shape and this helps it to refract light that, in turn, helps us to focus on objects at varying distances. It is an essential part of the eye and helps to provide us with the ability to see what is around us.
When having our eyes checked, an optician will usually check for the pressure within the eyeball. People with a thin cornea, however, are likely to give results showing a lower pressure than is genuine. This means that a high pressure will often go unnoticed, and this can mean that glaucoma can be allowed to develop.
