Glaucoma is an umbrella term for a group of disorders in which the pressure in the eye becomes too great for the health of the optic nerve. Because of this increased pressure, vision becomes severely impeded, increasing in severity, and resulting in reduced vision and even blindness in adult and elder sufferers.
Although there is no "cure" for glaucoma, treatment can be highly effective and may prevent individuals from losing any vision. People who benefit from routine glaucoma screening are those at "high-risk", including people with:
- African ancestry
- Family history of glaucoma
- Diabetes
- Hypertension
- Near-sightedness (myopia)
- Chronic corticosteroid use
- History of serious eye injury
