10 Causes of Glaucoma
Cause Of Glaucoma #9: Infection
Our immune systems have to be alert all of the time as it is so easy for us to get an infection. Most intruders are dealt with swiftly, but the immune system is not perfect and infections can sometimes take hold. They can infect pretty much any part of our body, and this includes our eyes.
Eye infections will usually clear up without any serious damage being done and they are relatively easy to treat with antibiotics. Eye infections can lead to permanent damage, however, and they also increase the risk of glaucoma developing. As such, if you do have an eye infection, it is a good idea to get it checked out as soon as you can.
