If not caught in time and treatment is not started, it can also take away vision forever. So doctors call it 'Silent Thief'. What exactly is glaucoma and why? In that regard, the doctors said, if the passage through which fluid moves in the eye is blocked, it accumulates and causes extra pressure on the eye. especially in the optic nerve. As the pressure increases, the person's eyesight gradually deteriorates, eventually leading to blindness. Damage initially starts around the periphery, so patients with glaucoma tend to lose their 'side vision'. Tears build up inside the eye, but the water doesn't have a place to drain - causing it to put pressure on vulnerable areas. If an adult says he can't see to the side at all, the damage is far-reaching.
