10 Causes of Glaucoma
Cause Of Glaucoma #8: Age
As we get older, the cells in our body gradually pick up damage as they go, and this damage is passed on to the other cells that replace them. The damage is very small, but it gradually builds over the years and develops into something more significant. This process contributes to aging.
As such, things tend to not work as well as they used to as we age, including the eyes. As such, glaucoma is increasingly likely to develop as people get older. It is recommended that people over the age of 40 get their eyes tested at least once a year to help spot signs of glaucoma and other conditions as early as possible.
