What Is Glaucoma?
5. Complications of Glaucoma
The most obvious complication of glaucoma is loss of vision or blindness. This can be partial or total depending on the stage at which a patient seeks intervention.
The loss of vision cannot be undone, but further damage can be averted. Other complications of glaucoma include the inability to drive or operate machinery safely, and complications that may result from treatment or surgical procedures such as allergic reactions and infection.
