10 Causes of Glaucoma
Cause Of Glaucoma #6: Nearsightedness
Many people are fortunate enough to be able to focus on objects close up and far away. Many others, however, will find that they have difficulty with one, the other, or even both. A lot of people are nearsighted, which means that they are unable to focus clearly on objects that are far away.
In addition to difficulty seeing distant objects, nearsightedness can also lead to other problems. One such problem is that people with the condition are also more likely to develop glaucoma. It is not clear why there is a correlation between the two, although there is a good chance that it is something to do with the shape of the eye.
